“…A trait measure of depression was given to all participants. The trait depression scale (Spielberger, Brunner, Ritterband, & Reheiser, ) is a 20‐item scale (α = .947), which has good validity and reliability (Vera Villarroel et al, ), although to the author's knowledge, it has not been used or validated with autistic adults. An example item is ‘I feel low’, and items were scored from 1 ‘ Almost never ’ to 4 ‘ Almost always ’.…”

We investigated Autism social identity and mental health in autistic people. Autistic people have social and communication deficits, and experience social stigma—factors that could interfere with the development of positive social identity. Indeed, autistic participants (N = 272) had significantly lower personal self‐esteem, and higher levels of depression and anxiety than typically developing controls (N = 267). Autism social identification was positively associated with personal self‐esteem, and this relationship was mediated by collective self‐esteem (perceived positivity of Autism identity). Furthermore, there were significant negative indirect effects between Autism identification and anxiety, and between Autism identification and depression, through increases in collective self‐esteem and personal self‐esteem. Thus, while autistic participants reported poorer mental health than average, having a positive Autism social identity appeared to offer a protective mechanism. This implies that to improve mental health in the Autism population, clinical approaches should aim to facilitate development of positive Autism identities.

“…Comparison of adulthood prevalence rates suggest that depression is more common in Chile than in the UK or other South American countries [6,7], which has been attributed to the considerable changes which have occurred to the socio-political landscape and lifestyle in Chile [8]. To our knowledge, only one study has specifically examined prevalence rates in Chilean children and adolescents; the results indicated higher 12-month prevalence of depression in adolescents aged 12 to 18 (7.0%) as compared to younger children (3.5%) [9].…”

Depression Symptom Trajectories and Associated Risk Factors among Adolescents in Chile

et al. 2013

Adolescence is a key period for studying the development of depression, with studies in Europe and North America showing a pattern of elevated risk that begins in early adolescence and continues to increase as adolescents age. Few studies have examined the course of adolescent depression and associated risk factors in low and middle-income countries. This longitudinal cohort study examined depression symptom trajectories and risk factors in a sample of socio-economically disadvantaged adolescents in Chile (n = 2,508). Data were collected over an 18-month period as part of a clinical trial for secondary students aged 12 to 18 (median age 14). Clinical levels of depression were prevalent in this sample at baseline (35% for girls and 28% for boys); yet latent growth models of symptom trajectories revealed a pattern of decreasing symptoms over time. There was evidence of an anxiety-depression developmental pathway for girls, with elevated anxiety levels initially predicting poorer depression outcomes later on. Poor problem-solving skills were associated with initial depression levels but did not predict the course of depressive symptoms. Critically, the declining symptom trajectories raise important methodological issues regarding the effects of repeated assessment in longitudinal studies.

“…Así tenemos entre otros, el Satisfaction with life scale (Pavot & Diener, 1999), The Short DepressionHappiness Scale (SDHS) (Joseph, Linley, Harwood, Lewis & McCollam, 2004), Oxford Happinnes Inventory (Lewis, Francis & Zieberts, 2002), the Steen Happiness Index (SHI) (Seligman, et al, 2005), escala factorial de felicidad, (Alarcón, 2006), que intercambian los conceptos antes señalados. En general estas escalas no evalúan un constructo unitario y se identifi can componentes compuestos por las dimensiones afecto positivo, afecto negativo y un componente cognitivo satisfacción vital (Pavot & Diener, 1993;Vera-Villarroel et al, 2010). Estos instrumentos multi-item han sido criticadas por evaluar diferentes componentes de la felicidad (Swami, 2008) y lo difuso del dominio temático de los ítems, por lo que se ha apelado al uso de enfoques conceptuales más estrictos para evitar el solapamiento con otros constructos (Kashdan, 2004).…”

ResumenEl objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala de Felicidad Subjetiva (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999). El objetivo del primer estudio, en que participaron 300 personas de población general, fue estimar confi abilidad (consistencia interna y estabilidad temporal) y validez de constructo de la escala. El segundo estudio, donde participaron 779 personas, tuvo por objetivo obtener indicadores defi nitivos de confi abilidad y validez en muestras con rangos etarios diversos. Además, evaluó validez convergente y divergente con los instrumentos: Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI), Cuestionario de los Cinco Grandes (BFI), y Cuestionario de Optimismo Disposicional (LOT-R). Los principales resultados del primer estudio muestran un alfa de .78 y estabilidad temporal de .61 (8 semanas de diferencias) y una estructura factorialmente pura. Para el segundo estudio la estimación de la confi abilidad estuvo entre .73 y .87 en las diversas muestra estudiadas; se encontró una estructura factorialmente pura; las correlaciones entre la escala de felicidad subjetiva y los instrumentos utilizados para evaluar validez convergente y divergente fueron adecuadas y altamente signifi cativas en la línea de lo esperado teóricamente. La evidencia indica adecuación de la escala para su utilización en la evaluación de este constructo en población chilena.Palabras clave: Psicología positiva, felicidad, análisis psicométrico. AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the subjective happiness scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999). The objective of the fi rst study involving 300 people from the general population was the estimated reliability (internal consistency and temporal stability) and construct validity of the scale. The second study involved 779 people, its purpose was to obtain defi nitive indicators of reliability and validity in samples with diverse age range. In addition, convergent and divergent validity was evaluated with instruments: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Big Five Questionnaire (BFI), and Dispositional Optimism Questionnaire (LOT-R). The main results of study showed an alpha of .78 and temporal stability of 61 (8 weeks apart) and a pure factorial structure. For the second study, the reliability estimation was between .73 and .87 according to the many samples studied, was found a pure factorial structure, the correlations between subjective happiness scale and instruments used to assess convergent and divergent validity were adequate, highly signifi cant and in line with theoretical expectations. The evidence indicates adequacy of the scale for use in the assessment of this construct in the Chilean population.
