Abstract

The BSI-18, an abridged version of the Brief Symptom Inventory of Derogatis, contains the 3 six items scales Somatization, Depression, Anxiety, and the Global Score (GSI). In a sample of N=638 psychotherapeutic patients, reliability and validity were proven. Reliability of the 3 scales was good: Somatization α=0.79, Depression α=0.84, Anxiety α=0.84, and GSI α=0.91. The postulated three-factor structure was proven sufficiently using confirmatory and explorative factor analyses. The questionnaire separated different patients groups. Judgments of the therapists corresponded well with the self-rating behavior of the patients. In conclusion, the psychometric evaluation of the BSI-18 resulted in persuasive evidence for its reliability and validity. The loss of information, as a result of item reduction, is acceptable analyzing large samples; in cases of individual analyses, the SCL-90-R is advised.

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.
