Die anwendbarkeit des BDI-II in klinischen und nichtklinischen populationen aus psychometrischer sicht. eine vergleichende analyse mit dem rasch-modell.
Abstract
Background The revised version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) is a broadly used instrument for assessing the severity of depression of adolescents of at least 13 years of age and adults. The self-assessment questionnaire contains 21 polytomous items and follows the criteria for a major depression specified in the DSM-IV. Clinical samples have often been used to analyze the psychometric properties of the instrument primarily with factor analytic methods.Methods The present study performs a psychometric analysis in a non-clinical sample in order to ascertain, whether the instrument performs equally well with the different kinds of samples. A clinical sample and a sample of students filled in the questionnaire. A partial credit model was applied and parameter estimates and model fit of the two samples were compared.Results Threshold parameters and model fit largely agreed, however some items exhibited characteristic deviations. Nevertheless, person parameter estimates notably agreed in both samples.Conclusions These results indicate that the BDI-II performs in clinical and non-clinical samples comparably well, only some items show characteristic deviations in the non-clinical sample.

The BDI-II is suitable for the measurement of clinical depression and subclinical depressive symptoms.
“Third, it has been demonstrated that the BDI-II is not only suitable for the measurement of clinical depression, but also for the assessment of subclinical depressive symptoms (22).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
