Hopelessness Scale for Children

Emotion Regulation Mediates the Relationship between ADHD and Depressive Symptoms in Youth

“…Raw scores were converted to t-scores based on normative samples divided by age and sex (Kovacs, 1992). Good reliability and validity have been established for the CDI (Kazdin, French, Unis & Esveldt-Dawson, 1983;Saylor, Finch, Spirito, & Bennett, 1984). For instance, construct and criterion validity studies have demonstrated that the CDI relates to self-esteem, hopelessness, cognitive processing, and depression as measured by other instruments (Kazdin, 1989b(Kazdin, , 1990Kovacs, 1992).…”

A comparison of specific positive future expectancies and global hopelessness as predictors of suicidal ideation in a prospective study of repeat self-harmers

“…Indeed, the link between hopelessness and suicide is powerful and well established, such that it is a key risk factor for suicidality (Beck et al, 1990;Kazdin et al,1983;O'Connor & Sheehy, 2000;. Moreover, global hopelessness mediates the relationship between depression and suicidality (Salter & Platt, 1990), as well as predicting suicidal repetition (Petrie et al,1988) and completed suicide (Beck et al, 1989).…”

Estudio longitudinal del efecto de primacía entre depresión y agresión física y verbal en una muestra infanto-adolescente

“…Entre ellas, mencionar la ausencia de padres y maestros como informantes, aunque se han encontrado correlaciones moderadas entre estos informantes y los propios niños (Kazdin et al, 1983), los cuales han mostrado ser informantes válidos y fiables (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001;del Barrio, 2002). Además, este estudio realizado en población general asume que la sintomatología depresiva y agresiva son variables dimensionales, por lo que pueden variar cuando se apliquen a síndromes depresivos y agresivos evaluados categóricamente bajo criterios diagnósticos, así como a muestras clínicas.…”
