“…In the general populations, the CES-D has exhibited a good internal consistency with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from 0.83 to 0.95 (55–57). The CES-D also showed good reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha from 0.89 to 0.92 in university students from Japan, US, and Taiwan (58–60). Furthermore, the Chinese version of CES-D has shown satisfactory reliability in children, American Chinese women, community residents, and elderly in Hong Kong, with Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.82, 0.86, 0.86, and 0.90 (17, 61–63).…”

Aims: Depression is prevalent among university students worldwide, and the prevalence appears to be increasing. As an intermediate stage between being healthy and having depression, students with subthreshold depression could develop worsening depression or recover with intervention to prevent depression. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a useful tool to assess subthreshold depression. The primary purpose of the current study was to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of CES-D in Chinese university students. Secondly, we aimed to describe the prevalence of subthreshold depression among the student sample and examine its demographic correlates. Methods: A total of 2,068 university students participated in the study, and they were asked to respond to the Chinese CES-D, Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). The factor structure was evaluated by conducting exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using a structural equation modeling approach. The reliability was assessed by calculating Cronbach’s alpha, inter-item correlation, and item-total correlation coefficients. The prevalence of subthreshold depression was calculated and demographic correlates of gender, grade, and major were examined by multiple regression. Results: The final sample included 1,920 participants. The EFA results suggested extraction of three factors (somatic symptoms, negative affect, and anhedonia) that account for 52.68% of total variance. The CFA results suggested that the newly derived model with 14 items was the best fit for our data. Six items were removed from the original scale (item 9, 10, 13, 15, 17, and 19). The Cronbach’s alpha of the 14-item CES-D was 0.87. The prevalence of subthreshold depression among university students reached 32.7% for the 20-item CES-D and 31% for the 14-item CES-D, although there was no significant difference of prevalence in gender, grade, and major. Conclusions: The CES-D has good reliability and validity for assessing subthreshold depression in Chinese university students.

“…College students with depression usually felt hopeless and helpless [7], and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) were recognized as long-distance risks of depression in adulthood [8,9]; smartphone addiction [10,11] and epidemic [12,13]are also important causes of depression among college students, depression and race of college students [14], gender [15], and professional [16,17].…”

In the research on the relationship between depression and college students’ major, there are some differences in the degree of depression between sports major and nonsports major students. Based on these results, we assume that there is the possibility of emotional differences between professional and nonprofessional sports. A total of 374 samples of students majoring in physical education and nonphysical education at the same university were analyzed by using the methods of literature review and data analysis. A total of 188 subjects, including 121 males and 253 females (186 majoring in sports and nonsports), were asked to fill in the SDS (Self-Rating Depression Scale). SDS is widely used in rough screening, emotional state evaluation, investigation, and scientific research of outpatients in clinical psychology departments. The research obtained the difference in depression degree in the whole sample and further compared the depression degree of students of different ages and native places. Statistical analysis was performed on all data using SPSS 23.0 software. Basic data description, paired chi-square analysis, and covariance analysis were used. The results show that in this sample, the maximum value (minimum/maximum value) of one item of the total depression score of nonphysical education students exceeds the average value by 3 standard deviations, and this shows that the general level of depression scores of non-PE majors is high; most non-PE majors are in mild depression, which is equal to the number of PE majors who are in a normal mood; and nonsports majors in cities are more likely to have mild depression.

“…For example, extroverts tend to have better communication skills and are good at reducing conflict in the organization [ 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Aside from personality traits, designers are more prone to depression than others [ 29 ]. When designers with different levels of depression work collaboratively in design, their design performance will be affected by the levels of their depression [ 30 ].…”

Many organizations encourage carrying out a project by teamwork for consensus building and managing risks in decision making. When working as a team, the members’ personality traits and depression may affect project performance. This study explored the personality traits and depression of creators on their design performance in teamwork. This study used the Big-Five Personality Traits Scale (Big-5) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Forty-four volunteers were chosen to participate in this study as the study subjects. A total of 11 design teams were formed based on the participants’ personality trait score and the depression score. The design performance of the participants was rated by creativity, aesthetics, and completeness. The study results showed that (1) for creativity, PT4 Neuroticism and D1 No Depression performed the best; (2) for aesthetics, PT4 Neuroticism, PT5 Openness, and D2 Mild Depression performed the best; (3) for completeness, PT5 Openness and D4 Severe Depression performed the best; and (4) for member satisfaction and work satisfaction, PT4 Neuroticism and D2 Mild Depression had the lowest scores. Therefore, the overall teamwork performance can be affected by personality traits and depression. Each individual’s personality trait and emotional expression may improve team performance via different dimensions, such as creativity, aesthetics, and completeness. Project managers should have members of different personality traits and with different emotional expression on a team as their personality traits and emotion can facilitate team collaboration.
