“…Cronbach's alpha estimates were computed to establish internal consistency of the BDI-II total. For the total sample of 1072 participants, the alpha estimate for the Korean BDI-II total scale score was 0.89, which was comparable to that in previous studies 23. Examination of the corrected item-total correlation coefficients showed that each item contributed substantially to the total BDI-II score (range=0.05 to 0.56).…”

“…As they spend most of their time studying, they do not have time to enjoy other leisure activities. In addition, they frequently do not have enough time to sleep, which leads to changes in their appetite 23. On the other hand, the results in European and U.S. studies showed a different factor structure from the above test result in Taiwan.…”

“…Wu et al23 investigated three different factor structures and modified the previously reported factor structure; three correlated item errors were set (item 2, item 3; item 4, item 12; item 16, item 18). This model provided best fit estimates for the sample data (CFI=0.965, TLI=0.960, RMSEA= 0.043).…”

ObjectiveThe Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) is one of the most popular scales for evaluating the severity of depression in adolescents as well as adults. The prevalence of depression increases during adolescence, and it has shown a rapid increase with occurrence at an earlier age and a tendency to continue into adulthood. Data from an adolescent nonclinical sample provides us more information related to depressive symptoms as potential risk factors. The current study was designed to two objectives: 1) to analyze the reliability and validity the BDI-II among Korean adolescents and 2) to evaluate the factorial structure in a Korean nonclinical adolescent sample.MethodsThe participants included 1072 adolescent boys and girls. We assessed the internal consistency, corrected item-total correlation, and the convergent validity of the BDI-II. We also performed confirmatory factor analyses to determine the internal structure of the BDI-II for Korean adolescents using Mplus 6.1.ResultsThe Cronbach's alpha for the BDI-II total score was 0.89. The correlation between the BDI-II and the PHQ-9 was strong (r=0.75), and anxiety-related measures were 0.68 and 0.71, which were also in the high range. Among the five different factor structures, the modified three-factor model demonstrated the best overall fit.ConclusionThe BDI-II is a reliable tool for measuring the severity of depressive symptoms in Korean adolescents. Therefore, the findings can provide basic information for examining the prevalence rate, intervention strategies for depression in adolescents.

“…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. The first group of strategies depicted a general depression dimension as a higher-order structure to explain the variance of lower-order dimensions.…”

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.

“…, 88 Wu, 2010b). The BDI-II-C demonstrates a threefactor solution: negative attitude, performance difficulty, and somatic elements (Byrne et al, 2004;Wu, 2010b;Wu & Huang, 2014). In the present study, the BDI-II-C alphas ranged from .87 to .94 for the adolescents and from .87 to .93 for the young adults.…”

In a six-wave longitudinal study with two cohorts (660 adolescents and 630 young adults), this study investigated the longitudinal stability of the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) using the Trait-State-Occasion (TSO) model. The results revealed that the full TSO model was the best fitting representation of the depression measured by the BDI-II for both cohorts. It was found that the trait components explained more than 50% of the state variance of the BDI-II scores in both cohorts, and the occasion-specific factor explained about 7% to 12% of variances. The occasion-specific variance was more stable (occasion stability) and somewhat higher in the younger cohort. Implications regarding the longitudinal stability of the BDI-II measure are discussed.
