  • The continuity of depression in clinical and nonclinical samples

    Gordon L Flett, Karel Vredenburg et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1997Cited by: 7

    Historically, depression researchers have examined continuity in terms of whether the symptoms and characteristics of mild, moderate, and severe depression differ in degree along a continuum (i.e., a quantitative difference) or in kind (i.e., qualitative difference). The authors propose a differentiated framework that distinguishes 4 direct tests of continuity (i.e., phenomenological, typological, etiological, and psychometric continuity). They u…

  • Analogue versus clinical depression: A critical reappraisal

    Karel Vredenburg, Gordon L Flett et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1993Cited by: 2

    Much of the existing psychological literature on depression is based on research with college students. An important question is whether depression in college students represents an appropriate analogue of depression in clinical patients. The purpose of the present article is to review past evidence on this issue from a critical perspective. Past arguments are examined, and little support is found for the position that depression research with co…

  • Depression in Elderly Persons and its Correlates in Family Practice: A Canadian Study

    Open AccessPatricia Stephenson-Cino, Meir Steiner et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1992

    Depression was studied in a Canadian community sample of 582 men and 906 women over the age of 65 years. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) provided the measure of depressive symptomatology. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule was used to confirm clinical diagnosis. A total of 8% of the sample (4.3% of men and 10.4% of women) were at or above the cut-off point of 16 on the Depression Scale. Significant Pearson correlati…

  • Reexamining the Beck Depression Inventory: The Long and Short of it

    Open AccessKarel Vredenburg, Lester Krames et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1985

    The psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory and its short form were compared for a psychiatric sample of clinically depressed adults. Factor analyses indicated that the short form retained the essential integrity of cognitive components of the standard inventory but further attenuated already weak somatic components. As a result, the wisdom of shortening the scale is questioned and a call is made for improving the existing scale.…

  • Modifying the Beck Depression Inventory: A Rejoinder to Steer and Beck

    Open AccessKarel Vredenburg, Lester Krames et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1985

    Regarding our recent paper in this journal, Steer and Beck agree that it is inadvisable to use the short version of the Beck Depression Inventory as a substitute for the standard version. They take issue, however, with our recommendations for making the standard scale more compatible with DSM-III and Research Diagnostic Criteria. The present paper provides further clarification and justification for these proposed modifications
