Validation of the Beck Depression Inventory-II in a Low-Income African American Sample of Medical Outpatients.

Abstract: The psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) are well established with primarily Caucasian samples. However, little is known about its reliability and validity with minority groups. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the BDI-II in a sample of low-income African American medical outpatients (N=220). Reliability was demonstrated with high internal consistency (.90) and good item-total intercorrelations. Criterion-related validity was demonstrated. A confirmatory facto… Show more

“…Exploratory Factor Analysis of the BDI-II administered to psychiatric patients revealed correlated somatic-affective (SA) and cognitive (C) dimensions [6]. The SA-C measurement model has received support from studies in general population [9], medical outpatient [10], and psychiatric samples [11]. Beck et al [6] however failed to replicate the SA-C model in a student sample, but instead reported an alternative model consisting of a cognitive-affective factor (CA) and a somatic factor (S), which has been replicated by others [12,13].…”

“…The first group of strategies depicted a general depression dimension as a higher-order structure to explain the variance of lower-order dimensions. 21,58,67,73,87,101,105 Although still scant, the bifactor model (G) was able to identify a non-hierarchical general depression in addition to the traditional two-dimensional structure. 18,34,64,81,84,96,121 These investigations shared the view that much of the variance of the BDI-II items can be accounted for by a hierarchical higher order or a parallel dimension of depression, where much of the common variance can be explained by a general construct.…”
