On the validity of the Beck Depression Inventory. A review.
Psychopathology, 1998Co-Authors: P. Richter, Joachim Werner, Andrés Heerlein, Alfred Kraus, Heinrich SauerAbstract:The present review discusses validity aspects of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) on the basis of meta-analyses of studies on the psychometric properties. Shortcomings of the BDI are its high item difficulty, lack of representative norms, and thus doubtful objectivity of interpretation, controversial factorial validity, instability of scores over short time intervals (over the course of 1 day), and poor discriminant validity against anxiety. Advantages of the Inventory are its high internal consistency, high content validity, validity in differentiating between depressed and nondepressed subjects, sensitivity to change, and international propagation. The present paper outlines agreements and contradictions between the various studies on the BDI and discusses the potential factors (composition of the subject sample, statistical procedures, point in time of measurement) accounting for the variance in their results.

Measuring treatment outcome by the Beck Depression Inventory.
Psychopathology, 1997Co-Authors: P. Richter, Joachim Werner, Reiner Bastine, Andrés Heerlein, H. Kick, Heinrich SauerAbstract:The construct validity of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in measuring treatment outcome is assessed in 103 psychiatric inpatients. In this context, construct validity means that the BDI measures the same construct in repeated measurement and that the change scores can be explained by treatment effects. In confirmatory factor analyses, only the first factor proved to be stable. In accordance with other studies, the sensitivity to therapeutic change in long-term intervals of several weeks could be confirmed. Significant changes in a short-term interval of 1 day in the non-endogenously depressed patients indicate an overreactivity of the BDI to change which cannot be explained by treatment effects or mood changes.

Mean Beck Depression Inventory-II scores of outpatients with dysthymic or recurrent-episode major depressive disorders.
Psychological reports, 2003Co-Authors: Roberta Ball, Robert A. SteerAbstract:The Beck Depression Inventory-II, published in 1996, was administered to 100 adult outpatients (Age M = 43.1 yr., SD = 15.6) who were diagnosed with a recurrent-episode Major Depressive Disorder and 100 outpatients (Age M = 42.8 yr., SD = 15.7) who were diagnosed with a Dysthymic Disorder. Each diagnostic group was composed of 50 men and 50 women who did not have a comorbid depressive disorder. The mean Beck Depression Inventory-II total score and the mean number of symptoms endorsed by the outpatients with a Major Depressive Disorder were significantly (ps < .001) higher than those for outpatients with a Dysthymic Disorder. The usefulness of the Beck Depression Inventory–II was discussed in helping clinicians discriminate between these two unipolar disorders.

mean Beck Depression Inventory ii scores by severity of major depressive episode
Psychological Reports, 2001Co-Authors: Robert A. Steer, Aaron T. Beck, Gregory K Brown, William C SandersonAbstract:The Beck Depression Inventory-II total scores of 35 (14%) outpatients who were diagnosed with a mild DSM-IV Major Depressive Episode (MDE), 144 (55%) outpatients with a moderate MDE, and 81 (31%) outpatients with a severe MDE were compared. The mean BDI-II total scores were, respectively, 18 (SD = 8, 99% CI 12-23), 27 (SD = 10, 99% CI 24-29), and 34 (SD = 10, 99% CI 30-37) (F2.257 = 33.25, p<.001). The mean BDI-II total score of the outpatients with a severe specifier was significantly higher than the mean BDI-II total score of the outpatients with a moderate specifier which was, in turn, significantly higher than the mean BDI-II total score of the outpatients with a mild specifier.

Use of the Beck Depression Inventory-II with depressed geriatric inpatients.
Behaviour research and therapy, 2000Co-Authors: Robert A. Steer, David J. Rissmiller, Aaron T. BeckAbstract:Abstract To provide information about the clinical utility of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) [Beck, A.T., Steer, R.A., & Brown, G.K. (1996b). Manual for the Beck Depression Inventory-II . San Antonio, TX: Psychological Corporation] with geriatric inpatients, the BDI-II was administered to 130 psychiatric inpatients who were 55 years old or above and who were diagnosed with principal DSM-IV major depressive disorders (MDD) ( N =85, 65%) or adjustment disorders with depressed mood ( N =45, 35%). The internal consistency of the BDI-II was high (coefficient alpha=0.90), and its total score was not significantly related to sex, age, or ethnicity. An iterated maximum-likelihood factor analysis found the Cognitive and Noncognitive dimensions which have been reported for the BDI-II by Steer and co-workers (Steer R.A., Ball R., Ranieri W.F., & Beck A.T. (1999). Dimensions of the Beck Depression Inventory-II in clinically depressed outpatients. Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment, 55 , 117–128) in a younger sample of clinically depressed psychiatric outpatients. The mean BDI-II total score of the 85 geriatric inpatients with MDD was also comparable to that of 42 younger (≤54 years old) inpatients with MDD. The results were discussed as supporting the use of the BDI-II with clinically depressed geriatric inpatients.

dimensions of the Beck Depression Inventory ii in clinically depressed outpatients
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1999Co-Authors: Robert A. Steer, Roberta Ball, William F. Ranieri, Aaron T. BeckAbstract:To ascertain the dimensions of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996) in clinically depressed outpatients, exploratory factor analyses were performed with the BDI-II responses of 210 adult (> or =18 years) outpatients who were diagnosed with DSM-IV depressive disorders. Two factors representing Somatic-Affective and Cognitive dimensions were found whose compositions were comparable to those previously reported by Beck, Steer, and Brown (1996) for psychiatric outpatients in general. A subsequent confirmatory factor analysis supported a model in which the BDI-II reflected one underlying second-order dimension of self-reported Depression composed of two first-order factors representing cognitive and noncognitive symptoms. The clinical utility of using subscales based on these two latter first-order symptom dimensions was discussed.

use of the Beck Depression Inventory ii with adolescent psychiatric outpatients
Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment, 1998Co-Authors: Robert A. Steer, Geetha Kumar, William F. Ranieri, Aaron T. BeckAbstract:To provide information on the use of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) with adolescents, the BDI-II was administered to 105 male and 105 female outpatients between 12 and 18 years old who were seeking psychiatric treatment. The internal consistency of the BDI-II was high (coefficient α = .92). The mean BDI-II total score of the girls was approximately 5 points higher than that of the boys (p < .001), and age (years) was positively correlated with the BDI-II total scores (r = .18, p < .01). An iterated principal-factor analysis identified three factors, but only the Cognitive and Somatic-Affective factors were generalizable.
