“…Due to a technical error, the last item of the dimension Responsibility was not assessed, which is why scale scores were computed via means. The German version of the DOCS exhibited good internal consistency and convergent validity (Fink-Lamotte et al, 2021). McDonald’s ω of the four dimension scales in this sample ranged from .87 to .93.…”

The expanded version of the Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS-II) is a 99-item self-report measure containing 18 nonoverlapping dimensional scales assessing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mania. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a German adaptation of the IDAS-II. Participants from a community sample (N = 1,054) completed the IDAS-II (German version). In addition, part of the sample (N = 550) completed a series of additional measures of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire–9, WHO–Five Well-Being Index, Symptom Checklist–90 Revised—Short Version) and anxiety disorders (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale–7, Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale–5, Dimensional Obsessive–Compulsive Scale, The International Trauma Questionnaire). We conducted item-level confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) separately for the 15 nonsaturated IDAS-II scales, which confirmed unidimensionality. McDonald’s ω indicated good internal consistency (ω > .8) of all symptom scales except Euphoria (ω = .751) and Ordering (ω = .728). A CFA of the IDAS-II scales, based on exploratory results by Watson et al. (2012), confirmed a three-factor model of “Distress,” “Obsessions/Fear,” and “Positive Mood.” Correlational analyses with additional symptom measures supported the convergent and discriminant validity of the IDAS-II scales. The IDAS-II (German version) allows for a reliable assessment of the severity of depression, anxiety, and bipolar symptoms and is one of the first clinical measures for German-speaking samples that is consistent with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP).

“…The high correlations of the ZF-OCS with established OCD measures (i.e., [ 18 , 21 ]) suggests its convergent validity. As expected, the ZF-OCS screening also showed evidence of discriminant validity, since it was correlated significantly less with short measures on depression [ 23 ], health anxiety [ 27 ] and health-related well-being [ 29 ].…”

“…As expected, the ZF-OCS screening also showed evidence of discriminant validity, since it was correlated significantly less with short measures on depression [ 23 ], health anxiety [ 27 ] and health-related well-being [ 29 ]. However, it turned out to be difficult to disentangle OC symptoms from general anxiety as measured by the GAD-7 – a problem that appeared in previous studies on OCD instruments as well [ 2 , 17 , 18 , 38 ]. The reason for this may be twofold.…”

Background Despite the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), its precise identification remains challenging. With the Zohar-Fineberg Obsessive-Compulsive Screen (ZF-OCS; 5 or 6 items), a brief instrument is widely available mainly in English. As there is a lack of empirical studies on the ZF-OCS, the aim of the present study was to translate the items into German and investigate the instrument in a nonclinical sample. Methods In two consecutive online surveys, n = 304 and n = 51 students participated. Besides the ZF-OCS, they answered established measures on OCD, depression, health anxiety, general anxiety and health-related well-being. Results Whereas internal consistency was low (α = .53–.72; ω = .55–.69), retest reliability (rt1,t2 = .89) at two weeks was high. As expected, we found high correlations with other OCD instruments (r > .61; convergent validity), and significantly weaker correlations with measures of depression (r = .39), health anxiety (r = .29), and health-related well-being (r = −.28, divergent validity). Nonetheless, the correlations with general anxiety were somewhere in between (r = .52). Conclusions Due to heterogeneous OCD subtypes, the ZF-OCS asks diverse questions which probably resulted in the present internal consistency. Nevertheless, the results on retest reliability and validity were promising. As for other OCD instruments, divergent validity regarding general anxiety seems problematic to establish. Even so, the ZF-OCS seems valuable for screening purposes, as it is short and easy to administer, and may facilitate initiating subsequent clinical assessment. Further studies should determine the instrument’s diagnostic accuracy.
