客观。-研究人员试图解释焦虑和抑郁之间的重叠，他们认为自我管理问卷中的一些项目选择不当，这两种结构应该被视为多维的。因此，我们假设Spielberger特质焦虑量表（TAI）包括与抑郁相关的项目。193名受试者的非临床样本填写了TAI和住院抑郁量表。因素假设的项目内容的基础上，并提交验证性因素分析（CFA）。我们发现了五个因素：一个包含三个因子的10项焦虑因子，一个与HADS快感缺乏因子相关的四项不成功因子，以及一个六项幸福因子。TAI量表包括焦虑、抑郁和幸福感的测量。因此，与其他抑郁指标的重叠可能是由于项目选择造成的。这项工作有待在独立的正常和病理样本中复制。(C)2003年，Elsevier SAS科学与医学版。All rights reserved.
Objective.-Researchers tried to explain the overlap between anxiety and depression by suggesting that some items of self-administered questionnaires were badly selected and that both constructs should rather be considered as multidimensional. Thus, we hypothesise that the Spielberger trait anxiety inventory (TAI) includes items related to depression.Method.-A non-clinical sample of 193 subjects filled out the TAI and the Hospitalised Anxiety-Depression Scale. Factors were postulated on the basis of item content and submitted to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).Results.-We found five factors: a 10-item anxiety factor containing three factors, a four-item unsuccessfulness factor correlated with the HADS anhedonia factor, and a six-item happiness factor.Conclusion.-The TAI scale encompasses measures of anxiety, depression and well-being. Consequently, the overlap with other measures of depression may result from item selection. This work awaits replication in independent normal and pathological samples.
