“…21,58,67,73,87,101,105 Although still scant, the bifactor model (G) was able to identify a non-hierarchical general depression in addition to the traditional two-dimensional structure. 18,34,64,81,84,96,121 These investigations shared the view that much of the variance of the BDI-II items can be accounted for by a hierarchical higher order or a parallel dimension of depression, where much of the common variance can be explained by a general construct. Practitioners should be careful when interpreting subscale scores, which might be greatly related to the heterogeneous characteristics of depressive conditions.…”

Objective: To review the psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) as a self-report measure of depression in a variety of settings and populations. Methods: Relevant studies of the BDI-II were retrieved through a search of electronic databases, a hand search, and contact with authors. Retained studies (k = 118) were allocated into three groups: non-clinical, psychiatric/institutionalized, and medical samples. Results: The internal consistency was described as around 0.9 and the retest reliability ranged from 0.73 to 0.96. The correlation between BDI-II and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-I) was high and substantial overlap with measures of depression and anxiety was reported. The criterion-based validity showed good sensitivity and specificity for detecting depression in comparison to the adopted gold standard. However, the cutoff score to screen for depression varied according to the type of sample. Factor analysis showed a robust dimension of general depression composed by two constructs: cognitive-affective and somatic-vegetative. Conclusions: The BDI-II is a relevant psychometric instrument, showing high reliability, capacity to discriminate between depressed and non-depressed subjects, and improved concurrent, content, and structural validity. Based on available psychometric evidence, the BDI-II can be viewed as a costeffective questionnaire for measuring the severity of depression, with broad applicability for research and clinical practice worldwide.

“…105 It is noteworthy that suicidal ideation, which is one of the core features of depression and an item on the BDI-II, correlated only poorly to moderately with the instrument. 8,81 More investigations should be conducted to document concurrent validity in comparison with wellknown constructs.…”

“…The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) is a 21-item tool often used in screening for depression (Beck, 1973;Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996;Gray et al, 2009;Oliveira-Brochado & Oliveira-Brochado, 2008;Osman, Barrios, Gutierrez, Williams, & Bailey, 2008). Its scores are often expressed as ranges apparently related to degrees of depression severity (mild, moderate, severe) but the utility and validity of this differentiation has not been substantively demonstrated.…”

The KADS-6 is a self-report assessment instrument known for its ease application in assessing depression in young people. This study aimed to contribute to the validation of the Portuguese version of this tool and analyze its psychometric characteristics in comparison with other self-report instruments for depression in adolescents, in Portugal. Two samples were collected, a non-clinical group of in school youth (n=773; 52.4% male) and a clinical sample (n=134 youth; 44% male). Comparisons also used the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Results: The factor analysis revealed the unidimensionality of the measure. The KADS-6 demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) in both clinical (.74) and school (.80) samples. Its convergent validity with the BDI-II and CDI was r=.44; r=.61, respectively in the clinical sample and r=.60; r=.57 in the school sample. The KADS-6, a short and time effi cient instrument, showed good psychometric characteristics in terms of internal consistency and convergent validity in comparison with the BDI-II and the CDI. Given its ease of use and scoring, the KADS-6 could be considered for use in both school and clinical settings when addressing adolescent depression. Keywords: Adolescence, depression, assessment, measure development/validation. ResumoA Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (KADS-6) é uma medida de autorrelato, conhecida pela sua facilidade de aplicação na avaliação da depressão em jovens. Este estudo teve como objetivos contribuir para a validação da versão portuguesa desta ferramenta e analisar as suas características psicométricas em comparação com outros instrumentos de autorrelato para a avaliação da depressão em adolescentes, em Portugal. Foram recolhidas duas amostras, uma não clínica, formada por jovens em contexto escolar (n=773; 52,4% rapazes) e outra amostra clínica (n=134; 44% rapazes). Foram também utilizados o Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) e o Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). A análise fatorial revelou a unidimensionalidade da medida. A KADS-6 demonstrou boa consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach) nas amostras não clínica (.74) e clínica (.80). A validade convergente com a BDI-II e CDI foi, respetivamente, r = .44; r = .61 na amostra clínica e r = .60; r = .57 na amostra não clínica. Conclui-se que a KADS-6 mostrou boas características psicométricas em termos de consistência interna e validade convergente em comparação com o BDI-II e o CDI. Dada a sua facilidade de uso e interpretação, a KADS-6 pode ser considerada para uso em contexto escolar e em ambientes clínicos, para avaliar a depressão adolescente. Palavras-chave: Adolescência, depressão, avaliação, desenvolvimento/validação de instrumentos.

“…se ha documentado evidencia de validez convergente tras correlacionar fuertemente con medidas de depresión y ansiedad (araya et al 2013), desesperanza y síntomas internalizados, así como validez divergente al relacionarse débilmente con escalas de apoyo social y síntomas externalizados (VanVoorhis y Blumentritt, 2007). Distintos trabajos han informado puntos de corte que varían de acuerdo con la muestra, pero en general Validez de constructo del inVentario de depresión de Beck ii para adolescentes coinciden en que el BDI-II posee sensibilidad y especificidad aceptables, así como una confiabilidad adecuada que oscila entre .90 y .91 (Melipillán, cova, rincón y Valdivia, 2008;osman, Barrios, gutierrez, Williams y Bailey, 2008;Uslu et al 2008).…”

“…el modelo de dos factores, cognitivo-afectivo y somático-vegetativo, originalmente informado por Beck et al (1996) en población general, se ha corroborado sólo parcialmente (osman et al, 2008;Wu y chang, 2008). se supone que en el primer factor, cognitivo-afectivo, habrían de agruparse reactivos como tristeza, sentimientos de culpa, autocrítica, etc.…”

Resumenson pocos los estudios que han analizado el modelo teórico de la depresión mediante el inventario de Depresión de Beck ii (BDi-ii) en adolescentes hispanohablantes. esta investigación se planteó dos propósitos: 1) indagar el ajuste de dos modelos factoriales en adolescentes mexicanos de población general del BDi-ii, el unidimensional y el original de Beck et al. (1996) que propone los factores cognitivo-afectivo y somático-vegetativo y 2) examinar la invarianza entre sexos del modelo con mejor ajuste. participaron en dos estudios 1010 y 610 adolescentes, respectivamente, quienes cumplimentaron el BDi-ii. Mediante aFc se sometió a prueba las dos estructuras factoriales y, por medio de aFc multigrupo, se realizó el análisis de invarianza entre sexos. los resultados revelaron la superioridad del modelo de dos factores en ambos estudios, sin hallar diferencias entre mujeres y hombres. estos hallazgos arrojan evidencia en favor de la teoría de la depresión de Beck y de la validez de constructo del BDi-ii en adolescentes. Palabras clave: afecto, pubertad, tristeza, auto-informe y emociones. AbstractFew studies have analyzed theoretical model of depression through the Beck Depression inventory ii (BDi-II) in Spanish-speaking adolescents. This research had two aims: 1) to know the fit of two BDI-II factor models in community Mexican adolescents, the one-dimension model and the Beck et al. (1996)'s original model posing the cognitive-affective and somatic-Vegetative factors, and 2) to examine model invariance across sexes with the best-fitting model. In two studies, 1010 and 610 adolescents participated, respectively, who completed the BDi-ii. through cFa the two factor structures were tested and, by means of multi-group cFa, invariance analysis across sexes was performed. results revealed superiority of the two-factor model in both studies, without differences between women and men. These findings lead to evidence for Beck's theory of depression and construct validity of the BDi-ii in adolescents. Keywords: affect, puberty, sadness, self-report, emotions.* Esta investigación fue posible gracias al financiamiento otorgado a la Dra.
