“…In addition to the three variant items identified in the present study, 10 items were found to vary across different ethnic groups in a previous study (Young et al, 2002). Thus seven items were found to be invariant across caregiver status and ethnicity.…”

“…Regardless of the comparability issue, differences between the caregiver and noncaregiver groups were not significant in terms of age, length of residence in the United States, and level of education, indicating that the configural matching process produced a sample of comparably match pairs. It is also important to remember that DIF differences do not usually have an enormous impact on a single individual’s score (Young et al, 2002). Instead, the importance of these differences is in better understanding large-group differences (such as depression rates in the United States and in Korea) and in understanding how the manifestations of depression may vary from one group to another.…”

“…Finally, these models generally require relatively large samples (e.g., 150 participants per group), limiting their use with populations where large samples are difficult or expensive to obtain. One alternative method of estimating biases with smaller samples is matched moderated regression (MMR) analysis (Young, Fogg, & Choi, 2002). MMR analysis has four distinctive benefits.…”

“…For the study, CA caregivers ( N = 100) completed the English version of the CES-D Scale and KK caregivers ( N = 78) completed the Korean version of the CES-D Scale, the CES-D-K. Details of sampling and research procedures are reported elsewhere (Lee & Farran, 2004; Young et al, 2002). KK caregivers reported significantly higher levels of depression than CA caregivers.…”

“…They found significant ethnic group differences in terms of the intercept on 10 items and the slope on 1 item. The 9 remaining items showed no evidence of ethnic group differences, which made them conclude that these items on the CES-D Scale are generalizable across CA and KK caregivers (Young et al, 2002). …”

BACKGROUND Proper evaluation of the generalizability of an instrument is critical for its use across different social contexts such as caregiver status. OBJECTIVE To examine the differential item functioning of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale, patterns of response to each item of the CES-D Scale attributable to caregiver status was assessed. STUDY DESIGN Using a cross-study comparison method, a sample of 58 matched pairs of Korean American caregivers and noncaregivers was used for matched moderated regression analysis on the CES-D Scale. RESULTS The authors identified three items that vary according to caregiver status in the present study: Item 2 (My appetite was poor), Item 4 (I felt that I was as good as other people), and Item 14 (I felt lonely). CONCLUSIONS Beyond assessing the level of depression through total CES-D scores, it is important to examine variations in the items of the CES-D Scale across different social contexts.

Gender differences in predictors of depression for married couples from the former Soviet Union were examined in a cross-sectional, descriptive analysis. Data were collected during a longitudinal study of post-migration health and adaptation. The sample included 308 men and women (154 couples), ages 40-79, who had lived in the US for an average of 6 years. Generativity, marital satisfaction and communication, social support, immigration challenges, and alienation were independent predictors of depressed mood. A gender interaction was found for generativity, indicating that diminished opportunities to guide the next generation and be productive members of society may have been more depressing for women. Interventions should attend to gender differences in developmental needs, reduce immigration-related challenges, and strengthen family and social support.
