“…Available data are summarized in the top half of Table 5. With one exception (Fogel et al, 1966, who used the MAACL, the validity of which, as we have shown, is questionable), the convergent and discriminant correlations covaried, both across studies and during retesting within the same study. That is, replicating the pattern observed within self-report measures, higher convergent correlations were generally accompanied by higher discriminant correlations (cf.…”

“…Several lines of evidence suggest that the rating scales yield somewhat more valid results than the MAACL. First, there are serious psychometric problems associated with the use of a checklist format (Fogel, Curtis, Kordasz, & Smith, 1966; Herron, 1969). Second, in a combined patient sample (Fogel et al, 1966; Zuckerman & Lubin, 1985), the convergent and discriminant validity pattern of the MAACL scales with single-item self-ratings of anxious and depressed mood was also relatively poor (51 vs. .45 for the average convergent and discriminant validity correlations, respectively).…”

We review psychometric and other evidence relevant to mixed anxiety-depression. Properties of anxiety and depression measures, including the convergent and discriminant validity of self-and clinical ratings, and interrater reliability, are examined in patient and normal samples. Results suggest that anxiety and depression can be reliably and validly assessed; moreover, although these disorders share a substantial component of general affective distress, they can be differentiated on the basis of factors specific to each syndrome. We also review evidence for these specific factors, examining the influence of context and scale content on ratings, factor analytic studies, and the role of low positive affect in depression. With these data, we argue for a tripartite structure consisting of general distress, physiological hyperarousal (specific anxiety), and anhedonia (specific depression), and we propose a diagnosis of mixed anxiety-depression.The puzzle of the relation between anxiety and depression is as old as the study of the syndromes themselves. In recent times, they have been viewed as: (a) different points along the same continuum, (b) alternative manifestations of a common underlying diathesis, (c) heterogeneous syndromes that are associated because of shared subtypes, (d) separate phenomena, each of which may develop into the other over time, and (e) conceptually and empirically distinct phenomena (L. A. Clark, 1989). Whereas each of these viewpoints is supported by some research, the current nomenclature, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manualof Mental Disorders (rev. 3rd ed.; DSM-III-R; American Psychiatric Association, 1987) primarily reflects the cate-

“…In a study by Fogel, Curtis, Kordasz, and Smith (1966) 73 psychiatric patients were interviewed by an experienced psychiatrist; two psychiatric residents acted as observer-raters. The three psychiatrists provided ratings of the patients on four 9-point scales-Anxiety, Depression, Hostility, and Cheerfulness.…”

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.

“…Cross validation studies have shown depressed patients to differ sig nificantly from normals on all seven checklists, while patients diagnosed as depressed obtain higher scores on the DACL than patients with other diagnoses (Lubin, 1967b (Fogel, 1966;Lubin, 1967b).…”
