Messgüte des vereinfachten Beck-Depressions-Inventars (BDI-V)

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. An einer demographisch heterogenen Gelegenheitsstichprobe (n = 200) und drei klinischen Stichproben (Major Depressive Disorder, n = 60; Angst- und Essstörungen, n = 11; Schizophrenie, n = 40) wurden Messeigenschaften des vereinfachten Beck-Depressions-Inventars (BDI-V) ermittelt. Homogenität und Reliabilität des BDI-V übersteigen jene des Original-BDI (BDI-O) und jene weiterer vier Depressionsskalen. BDI-V und BDI-O konvergieren auf der Ebene einzelner Symptome (durchschnittliche Korrelation in der Gesamtstichprobe = .70) und auf der Ebene des Summenwertes (r = .91 in der Gesamtstichprobe). Beide BDI-Versionen korrelieren in ähnlicher Höhe mit anderen Selbstbeschreibungsmaßen der Depression (durchschnittliche Korrelation = .70) und einem Expertenrating (Hamilton-Skala, r = .50). BDI-V und BDI-O differenzieren ähnlich gut zwischen klinisch unauffälligen Personen und Patienten mit einer depressiven Primär- oder Sekundärsymptomatik. Vergleichbar gut gelingt mit beiden Versionen auch die Differenzierung klinischer Gruppen. Eine konfirmatorische Faktorenanalyse ergab in der klinisch unauffälligen Stichprobe eine geringfügige Abweichung von perfekter Messäquivalenz (1.00 ≥ r ≥ .95). Diese Abweichung ist für die diagnostische Praxis unbedeutend. Mit dem vereinfachten BDI steht ein Instrument zur Verfügung, das gleich gute Messeigenschaften aufweist wie das Original, diesem in seiner Messökonomie aber deutlich überlegen ist und sich deshalb insbesondere für epidemiologische Screenings an großen Stichproben eignet.

Imagery rescripting in individuals with binge‐eating behavior: An experimental proof‐of‐concept study

“…Habitual use of imagery was assessed with the 12‐item Spontaneous Use of Imagery Scale (SUIS; Reisberg, Pearson, & Kosslyn, ) that has acceptable reliability and validity (Nelis & Holmes, ). Depressive mood was measured using a simplified German version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI‐V) that has comparable psychometric characteristics to those of the original BDI (Schmitt et al, ). Trait anxiety was assessed via the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI‐T; Laux, Glanzmann, Schaffner, & Spielberger, ).…”

Do Importance of Religious Faith and Healthy Lifestyle Modify the Relationships Between Depressive Symptoms and Four Indicators of Alcohol Consumption? A Survey of Students Across Seven Universities in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland

“…Depressive symptoms: These were measured using the Modified Beck Depression Inventory (M-BDI) (Beck, Steer, Ball, & Ranieri, 1996;Schmitt & Maes, 2000;Schmitt et al, 2003). Sample items include: "I feel sad," "I feel I am being punished," "I have thoughts of killing myself," "I have lost interest in other people," "I have to force myself to do anything," "I am worried about my appearance," "I have no appetite," and "I lost interest in sex."…”

Prevalence of depressive symptoms in university students from Germany, Denmark, Poland and Bulgaria

“…Depressive symptoms were measured using a modification of the Beck Depression Inventory (M-BDI), which was originally developed in German, the primary language of this study [35,36]. The modification of the original BDI included two approaches: (a) the four items per symptom which assessed the specific symptom's intensity in the original BDI, were replaced by a single statement per symptom with a six point Likert scale measuring its frequency in the last 4 weeks (with the two extreme categories labelled as 0 = 'Never', 5 = 'Almost Always'), (b) One symptom, which had low specificity (loss of weight) was excluded.…”

“…The German language M-BDI, along with other versions of the BDI, computes a single score for individual respondents by summing their responses for all items of the scale. Through a German sample reflecting the general population and in selected subsamples [35,36], the authors of the M-BDI have demonstrated its construct validity and measurement equivalence as compared to the original BDI. The authors have also provided a cut-off score for screening for clinically relevant depressive symptoms at ‡35, corresponding to the 85th percentile of the representative sample of the German population [34].…”
