“…Another study conducted with Spanish outpatients also found high degrees of correspondence between written and interview versions of the BDI and the Zung (1965) scale (Polaino & Senra, 1991). A comparison of depression scores on the written format and the interview format of the Depression Adjective Checklists in a psychiatric inpatient sample found no significant effect of the test format (Lubin, Marone, & Nathan, 1978). A study of 230 community residents found a high degree of agreement between the telephone and the face-to-face interview versions of the National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule (Robins, Helzer, Croughan, & Ratcliff, 1981) with respect to the presence or absence of clinical depression (Wells, Burnam, Leake, & Robins, 1988).…”

This study examined whether Asian Americans and White Americans would show differential patterns of reporting their levels of depressive and social anxiety symptoms depending on the method of reporting. Standard self-report measures of depressive, social anxiety, and somatic symptomatology as well as measures of cultural self- construal and social desirability were administered twice to Asian American and White American participants. The results showed that there were no interaction effects between ethnicity and reporting method in any of the self-report measures, both ethnic groups reported lower levels of depressive symptoms in interview condition than in written condition, and Asian Americans reported higher levels of social anxiety than White Americans on both interview and written conditions. The findings suggest that although the method of reporting does not differentially affect Asian Americans, there are persistent ethnic differences between Asian Americans and White Americans in the types and levels of distress they report.

“…Patients unable to fill out the checklist by themselves because of visual impairment took the test orally with the help of the nurses. This departure from standard administration is defensible; a previous study found no significant difference between self-administered and examiner-administered DACLs (Lubin, Marone, & Nathan, 1978). From August 1977 through July 1978, patients received forms A through G, then A through E, consecutively, at the rate of one per month.…”

A group of 74 end-stage renal disease outpatients on dialysis completed on of seven forms of the Depression Adjective Check List (DACL) (Lubin, 1981) once a month over a 12-month period. Patient cooperation in filling out the DACL was 95%, indicating patient's acceptance of this fairly unobtrusive instrument. The distribution of usable DACL scores of 53 patients was trifurcated: high = one SD above the mean; medium +/- one SD from the mean; and low = more than one SD below the mean. A one-way ANOVA on the mean number hospitalizations during the 12-month period for each group was significant, F (2,50) = 8.11, p less than .01. The mean number of hospital admissions was highest for the high depression group and lowest for the low depression group. DACL scores of seven patients who died were significantly higher than for the 46 survivors, t (60) = 4.44, p less than .01.

“…However, because some subjects had motor or visual deficits, which would have made self-administration difficult, a female research assistant read the adjective list, and subjects indicated words that they felt applied to them on that day. Lubin, Marone, and Nathan (1978) have shown that self-administered and examiner-administered forms are equivalent.…”

The present study explored (1) staff-patient and intrastaff congruence with regard to appraisals of patients' affective state and (2) the factors that affect staff's perception of patient mood. Patients on a physical rehabilitation unit rated themselves on the Depression Adjective Check List (DACL), a set of 32 mood-related descriptors. Staff members from six disciplines rated patients on the same instrument, and also completed a checklist of symptoms of depression, thereby describing the data base that determined their ratings on the adjective list. Although the average DACL ratings of patients and staff did not differ significantly, a substantial and clinically important degree of variability was observed. Ratings on the symptom checklist differed significantly among staff groups, and some variation was observed in the salience of particular symptoms for different disciplines. The findings suggest that discrepancies among staff perceptions of patient mood may be attributable, in part, to differences in the behavioral criteria employed by different professional disciplines. It is important to note that behaviors considered to be symptomatic of depression in other populations may possess a different significance for patients reacting to the impact of severe physical trauma.
