Further evidence for the construct validity of the Beck depression Inventory-II with psychiatric outpatients

R A Steer et al. Psychol Rep. 1997 Apr.

Abstract

To provide further information about the construct validity of the Beck Depression Inventory-II the inventory was administered to 210 psychiatric outpatients along with Derogatis' SCL 90-R. As hypothesized, the Beck Depression Inventory-II was more positively correlated with scores on the Depression subscale (r = .89) than it was with scores on the Anxiety subscale of the SCL-90-R (r = .71).
