To cite this version:Alexandra Rouquette, Bruno Falissard. Sample size requirements for the internal validation of psychiatric scales.. International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research, Wiley, 2011, 20 (4) Abstract:The ratio of subjects to variables (N/p), as a rule to calculate the sample size required in internal validity studies on measurement scales, has been recommended without any strict theoretical or empirical basis being provided. The purpose of the present study was to develop a tool to determine sample size for these studies in the field of psychiatry. First, a literature review was carried out to identify the distinctive features of psychiatric scales. Then, two simulation methods were developed to generate data according to: 1/ the model for factor structure derived from the literature review and 2/ a real dataset. This enabled the study of the quality of solutions obtained from principal component analysis or Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) on various sample sizes. Lastly, the influence of sample size on the precision of Cronbach"s alpha coefficient was examined. The N/p ratio rule is not upheld by this study: short scales do not allow smaller sample size. As a rule of thumb, if one"s aim is to reveal the factor structure, a minimum of 300 subjects is generally acceptable but should be increased when the number of factors within the scale is large, when EFA is used and when the number of items is small.

“…Las diferencias podrían atribuirse a la variabilidad normal entre poblaciones advertida por Steer et al, (1989), así como a las características particulares de la población estudiada, ya que a diferencia del estudio de Jurado et al, que incluyó en su muestra sólo un 9% de adolescentes de población no clínica, el presente estudio incluyó en su totalidad adolescentes de población clínica (evaluados y diagnosticados por un paidopsiquiatra con base en los criterios de la CIE-10) y no clínica.…”

“…A la luz de los datos revisados, el presente estudio se ha propuesto investigar la validez de constructo de la versión en español para México del BDI-IA (Beck & Steer, 1984;Steer et al, 1989). Se pretende someter a prueba si se confirma el modelo original de dos factores propuesto por Beck en la versión mexicana en población adolescente, tanto clínica como no clínica.…”

ResumenEl Inventario de Depresión de Beck, IA (BDI-IA), ha demostrado buenas propiedades psicométricas durante los últimos cuarenta años. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la estructura factorial y las propiedades psicométricas del BDI-IA para adolescentes mexicanos. Participó un total de 385 adolescentes en dos muestras (comunidad general, pacientes psiquiátricos externos con y sin trastorno depresivo). Los participantes completaron el BDI-IA y una batería de instrumentos para medir constructos relacionados. El AFE mostró una solución de dos factores: el Cognitivo-Afectivo y el Somático. El AFC indicó un ajuste aceptable del modelo propuesto por Beck. El BDI-IA mostró un α = .92, y mantuvo una relación significativa con medidas de afrontamiento evitativo, respuesta de rumia y ansiedad. Asimismo, mostró buena sensibilidad y especificidad para discriminar entre deprimidos y no deprimidos. El BDI-IA es una medida válida y confiable de los síntomas depresivos en adolescentes mexicanos de población clínica y no clínica.Palabras clave: Estado de ánimo, pubertad, sensibilidad, especificidad, curva ROC. AbstractThe Beck Depression Inventory, IA (BDI-IA) has been shown to have good psychometric properties for the past forty years. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the factor structure and provide evidence of the psychometric properties of the BDI-IA for Mexican adolescents. Three hundred eighty five adolescents in two samples (general community, psychiatric outpatients with and without major depressive disorders) completed the BDI-IA and a battery of measures of related constructs. The EFA showed a two-factor solution: the Cognitive-Affective one, and the Somatic one. The CFA indicated an acceptable fit of Beck's model. The BDI-IA showed an α = .92, and maintained a significant relationship with avoidance coping, ruminative response and anxiety measures. As well, the BDI-IA showed good sensitivity and specificity to discriminate between depressed and non-depressed individuals. The BDI-IA is a valid and reliable measure of depressive symptoms in Mexican adolescents of clinical and non-clinical populations.

“…Gender differences in the symptomatology of depression have been examined by many researchers [39,40,41,42], but due to methodological limitations the results from these studies have rather been inconclusive. One of the drawbacks of many of the previous studies was that only a narrow scope of typical depressive symptoms was assessed.…”

Background: It has been proposed that aggression and especially anger attacks play an important role in the symptomatology of depression. Furthermore, it has been hypothesized that these symptoms are more prevalent in males than in females. Methods: We conducted a study in 217 depressed patients (104 females, 113 males) without psychiatric comorbidity using questionnaires. Study subjects had previously been treated as inpatients and were contacted after discharge from hospital by mail or phone. Overall response rate was 69.6%. Patients were asked to retrospectively rate their state during their last depression. Results: Males obtained higher scores on irritability (p = 0.010) and showed a tendency to overreact (p = 0.018) during their last depressive episode. They had suffered significantly more often from anger attacks than female patients (4.3 ± 7.52 versus 1.2 ± 2.97 anger attacks per month; p = 0.001). Further multivariate analyses displayed that men had significantly lower impulse control and more frequently showed symptomatic substance intake and hyperactive behavior during their depression, whereas women suffered more often from hypersomnia and heaviness in limbs (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Our findings are indicative of gender differences in symptoms related to lowered impulse control in depressed patients. Further study is required to replicate and extend our results and to assess the significance of aggression as a gender-specific diagnostic criterion for depression.
