“…Thus, like other studies investigating LOC (e.g., Bugaighis, Schumm, Bollman, & Jurich, 1987;Premeaux & Bedeian, 2003), social desirability was measured and used as a control variable to reduce concerns about response bias (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Lee, & Podsakoff, 2003). Although Crowne and Marlowe's (1960) 33-item scale of social desirability is most frequently used in the literature (Tanaka-Matsumi & Kameoka, 1986), there are also growing concerns that this scale may be too lengthy. Thus, we used Hays, Hayashi, and Stewart's (1989) 5-item shortened version of Crowne and Marlowe's scale (α=.68).…”

“…139 Content and criterion validity are good, as it includes most of the DSM-IV criteria for major depression, 140 and concurrent validity is acceptable. 38,141,142 There are a large number of somatic items. To adjust for an expected higher baseline score in elderly patients seen in medical settings, it has been recommended that the cutoff score be raised from 50 in the general population to 60 or greater in this population.…”

“…The Beck Inventory [26,27,29,30] allows various cutoffs points, depending on the nature of the sample and the study objectives. For the proposed sample "Center for Cognitive Therapy" [31] recommends the following cutoffs points: <10 = no depression or minimal depression; 10 to 18 = from mild to moderate depression; 19 to 29 = moderate to severe depression; 30 to 63 = severe depression.…”
