Constructing a Common Scale Between Tests of Depression: The use of Item Response Theory for Transferring of Norms from the BDI to EBADEP-A

Abstract: This study of depression assessment aims to demonstrate the process of joint calibration and transfer standards between the internationally recognized BDI and EBADEP-A, a new instrument recently validated in Brazil. In addition to the illustration of methodological procedures, our study is intended to contribute to the elaboration of normative references for the latter instrument as an assessment of depression symptoms. We included 1666 participants divided into subgroups of patients and nonpatients. The respo… Show more

“…The instrument consists of 15 self-reported semantic differential items, each of which consists of two antagonistic sentences, with a five-point scale used to indicate which of the two poles the respondent most identifies with. Several studies based on the Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory support the reliability and validity of the scale, including its internal structure, convergence with BDI, and diagnostic accuracy (Baptista & Carvalho, 2018;Baptista, Carvalho, Primi, Oliveira, & Elhai, 2017).…”

“…Son diversos los estudios de validez y confiabilidad realizados sobre la ebadep-a que aportan evidencia sobre su utilidad en la evaluación de la depresión. Por ejemplo, Baptista et al (2017) realizaron una calibración de la escala y evaluaron los patrones de transferencias entre esta y el bdi-ii; Bighetti et al (2014) presentaron evidencias de validez basadas en la relación entre la ebadep-a y el Big Five; Gomes y Baptista (2014) presentaron las puntuaciones de corte del ebadep-a por medio de procedimientos de transferencia de normas con base en el Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale; analizaron la capacidad diagnóstica de la ebadep-a; y Baptista et al (2012) presentaron evidencias de validez convergente entre la ebadep-a y el bdi-ii, y evaluaron la estabilidad temporal de la escala por medio de un análisis test-retest luego de un período de un mes.…”
