“…Nevertheless, some studies have suggested that the structure of BDI-II can be best described as three-dimensional, distributing the cognitive-affective dimension into two distinct factors. 17,20,41,56,66,98,122,136 Further analyses revealed that the BDI-II presents reasonable factorial invariance when assessing the severity of depressive symptoms; this covariance structure is equivalent across gender and ethnicity in American college students 58 and across gender in Taiwanese college students and adolescents. 60,61 Sophisticated alternative structural analysis of the BDI-II was strengthened by two investigative breakthroughs: the hierarchical model and the bifactor model.…”

Objective: To review the psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) as a self-report measure of depression in a variety of settings and populations. Methods: Relevant studies of the BDI-II were retrieved through a search of electronic databases, a hand search, and contact with authors. Retained studies (k = 118) were allocated into three groups: non-clinical, psychiatric/institutionalized, and medical samples. Results: The internal consistency was described as around 0.9 and the retest reliability ranged from 0.73 to 0.96. The correlation between BDI-II and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-I) was high and substantial overlap with measures of depression and anxiety was reported. The criterion-based validity showed good sensitivity and specificity for detecting depression in comparison to the adopted gold standard. However, the cutoff score to screen for depression varied according to the type of sample. Factor analysis showed a robust dimension of general depression composed by two constructs: cognitive-affective and somatic-vegetative. Conclusions: The BDI-II is a relevant psychometric instrument, showing high reliability, capacity to discriminate between depressed and non-depressed subjects, and improved concurrent, content, and structural validity. Based on available psychometric evidence, the BDI-II can be viewed as a costeffective questionnaire for measuring the severity of depression, with broad applicability for research and clinical practice worldwide.

“…The BDI-II is a 21-question, multiple-choice, self-report inventory, examining the severity and the occurrence of cognitive, affective, somatic and vegetative symptoms of depression during the last two weeks. The BDI-II questionnaire has been found to have optimal internal reliability, with cronbach's alpha indexes of around .90 (Osman et al, 1997). Cronbach's alpha of the current BDI dataset was .77, which reflects good internal reliability of the items.…”

Rumination is a cognitive-affective thinking style that plays a key role in the onset and maintenance of depression. Recently, it was shown that clinically depressed patients who received a neurocognitive training -involving two weeks of repetitive cognitive control exercises that necessitate prefrontal engagement -are more able to control over ruminative negative thoughts than patients who only received treatment as usual. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a biological technique that can directly modulate prefrontal excitability via the manipulation of neural membrane potentials. In this randomized double-blind trial, we investigated whether bifrontal tDCS (anode over the left/cathode over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)) would enhance the influence of a neurocognitive training on depressive brooding, the maladaptive form of rumination. Major depressed patients were trained using a procedure based on the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT), a task that relies heavily on working memory and is found to engage the DLPFC. One group (n=19) completed the PASAT training together with active tDCS and another group (n=14) completed the same training together with sham (placebo) tDCS. In both groups, depressive brooding was reduced following the PASAT training. Moreover, we observed that improvement in working memory over the course of the training was associated with a greater reduction in depressive brooding post versus pre intervention. However, tDCS did not moderate this association between changes in working memory and changes in depressive brooding. Possible explanations for this absent moderation of tDCS, as well as avenues for future research to influence ruminative thinking in depression, are discussed.

“…On one item pertaining to lack of pleasure in activities, for example, 0 = "I get as much pleasure as I ever did from the things I enjoy," 1 = "I don't enjoy things as much as I used to," 2 = "I get very little pleasure from the things I used to enjoy," and 4 = "I can't get any pleasure from the things I used to enjoy" (Beck et al, 1996). The BDI-II seems to exhibit a three factor structure, with factors described as representing negative attitude, performance difficulties, and somatic symptoms (see Osman et al, 1997). Another depression measure, therefore, was administered to assess the extent to which the participants were experiencing sadness-related depressive phenomena.…”
