“…Internal consistency (α = .92) and test re-test reliability (r = .93 over 1 week) are established (Beck et al, 1996), and evidence for construct validity has been demonstrated (e.g. Dozois, Dobson, & Ahnberg, 1998;Osman, Kopper, Barrios, Gutierrez, & Bagge, 2004). Steer, Ball, Ranieri, and Beck (1997) also provide evidence of convergent validity, while Osman, Downs, Barrios, Kopper, Guitierrez, and Chiros (1997) found support for the discriminant validity of the BDI-II.…”
