To extend earlier findings, this pilot study explored the role of self-reported value of health as a moderator between age and scores on the Beck Depression Inventory. 157 undergraduate students completed the Health Value Scale and the Beck inventory. There was no significant main effect for age with scores on the Beck inventory; however, scores on the Health Value Scale and their interaction with age were significant contributors to scores on the Beck Depression Inventory. These results are consistent with earlier findings. Implications for research and development are discussed
