“…Only the Positive dimension was used in the present study. The short Basque version was developed from the longer Basque version of the scale (Balluerka, Gorostiaga, & Haranburu, 2012) and consists of 37 items to be answered on a 5‐point Likert scale, with options ranging from “Strongly agree” to “Strongly disagree”. The Positive dimension, comprising 10 items, refers to happiness, fun and joy in the life of the child or to the child's ability to experience these feelings (e.g ., “I think that my mother/father is very proud of me”).…”

The aim of the study was to analyze whether gender, age, peer attachment, and class‐level emotional intelligence could predict adolescents' psychological well‐being by applying a multilevel approach. The sample comprised 2182 secondary school students from the Basque Country (northern Spain) (from 118 classrooms, 51.6% girls), aged between 12 and 18 years. A two‐level model (with students nested into classes) was used to analyze the influence of three level‐one covariates (gender, age, and peer attachment) and one level‐two covariate (class‐level emotional intelligence) on the positive affect component of psychological well‐being. The results showed an overall decrease in well‐being as adolescents grow older, and an increase linked to a higher peer attachment. Furthermore, class‐level emotional intelligence showed a positive relationship with students' well‐being. This group‐level covariate also strengthened the effect of peer attachment on the well‐being. The advantages of using a multilevel approach for predicting mental health and psychological adjustment are discussed.

“…Table 5 outlines the ones most commonly used in scientific literature. Additionally, some researchers have discussed the reliability and validity of different national versions of the child depression scale, such as the Japanese version of the Children’s Depression Inventory [ 79 ], the German version of the Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale [ 80 ], and the Basque version of the Children’s Depression Scale [ 81 ].…”

In order to gain an in-depth understanding of research about childhood and adolescent depression, this article analyzes the scale, development, and geographic distribution of the literature in the field based on 8491 articles extracted from the Web of Science Core database. Using citation analysis, this article identifies influential journals, scholars, and documents in this field. The study found that in the past 15 years, the number of documents has increased significantly and geographical diversity has also increased. Most of the highly influential literature relates to depression inventories. Using keyword co-occurrence analysis, this article also identified three key research topics focusing on (a) child and adolescent depression symptoms and prevalence, (b) parental depression and child behavioral or emotional problems, and (c) childhood abuse and depression. This study uses ‘science mapping’ as a means to provide a better understanding of research trends about childhood and adolescent depression that have emerged over the past half century, and may serve as reference for future research.

Resumen. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en mostrar, desde una perspectiva práctica, las pautas que pueden seguirse para elaborar una versión reducida de un instrumento de medida. Para ello, se describe exhaustivamente el proceso de elaboración de la versión reducida en lengua vasca de la escala CDS (Children's Depression Scale; Lang y Tisher, 1978) que mide la depresión en niños/as y adolescentes. En un primer estudio, se seleccionan los ítems que configuran la versión reducida del CDS (CDS-R) a partir de los análisis realizados en una muestra de 886 niños/as y adolescentes a los que se les administró la versión extensa del CDS adaptada a la lengua vasca (Balluerka, Gorostiaga y Haranburu, 2012). Posteriormente, se procede a la validación del CDS-R en una muestra de 2.165 participantes. En este segundo estudio se examinan la estructura factorial, la consistencia interna y la estabilidad temporal del instrumento, así como la relación que presentan sus dimensiones con el sexo, el rendimiento académico, la inteligencia emocional y el apego. De esta forma, se obtienen evidencias sobre la fiabilidad y la validez de la versión reducida del instrumento, lo que garantiza una adecuada evaluación del constructo que éste pretende medir.
