“…Higher scores reflect greater behavioral activation and less avoidance. The Cronbach alpha for the BADS was found to be 0.92 in both a community dwelling sample (Kanter et al, 2009) and in the present sample.…”

“…The Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale (BADS; Kanter, Mulick, Busch, Berlin, & Martell, 2007;Kanter, Rusch, Busch, & Sedivy, 2009) assesses the ability to engage in activities to achieve goals despite aversiveness. Respondents rate 25 items on a 7-point scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 6 (completely).…”

“…A total avoidance score also is calculated, which has excellent internal consistency (a ¼ .91) and testeretest reliability (.92). The CBAS also correlates moderately with other measures of avoidance as well as depression and anxiety scales (Kanter et al, 2007(Kanter et al, , 2009Ottenbreit & Dobson, 2004). Sample items include, "I try not to think about problems in my personal relationships" (Cognitive Social) and "I quit activities that challenge me too much" (Behavioral Nonsocial).…”

“…The BADS is a self-report scale consisting of 25 items comprising four subscales: Activation (7 items; e.g., ''I engaged in a wide and diverse array of activities'', ''I was an active person and accomplished the goals I set out to do''); Avoidance/Rumination (8 items; e.g., ''Most of what I did was to escape from or avoid something unpleasant'', ''I frequently spent time thinking about my past, people who have hurt me, mistakes I've made, and other bad things in my history''); Work/School Impairment (5 items; e.g., ''I stayed in bed for too long even though I had things to do'', ''I took time off of work/school/chores/ responsibilities simply because I was too tired or didn't feel like going in''); and Social Impairment (5 items; e.g., ''I did not see any of my friends, I was withdrawn and quiet, even around people I know well''). Prior work using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) confirmed the 4-factor structure of the BADS in an undergraduate sample (Kanter et al, 2006) and in a community sample with elevated depressive symptoms (Kanter, Rusch, Busch, & Sedivy, 2009). Also, adequate reliability and validity is reported for the BADS, with BADS scores showing predicted associations with criterion measures of depression, social support and avoidance (Kanter et al, 2006;).…”
