对51名白色和墨西哥裔美国老年受试者（M年龄= 70.2岁）的Beck抑郁量表评分进行了研究。内部一致性系数为0.80，因此信度令人满意。一个平行的有效性范式产生了显着的产品矩系数为0.79。没有显着的平均差异出现的受访者的性别或种族群体，有助于支持使用贝克的规模与老龄化的少数群体。贝克的量表在书面自我报告应用中是可靠和有效的。
Scores on the Beck Depression Inventory from 51 white and Mexican-American gerontic subjects (M age = 70.2 yr.) gave an internal consistency coefficient of .80, so reliability was satisfactory. A parallel validity paradigm yielded a significant product-moment coefficient of .79. No significant mean differences emerged for sex of respondents or ethnic groups, contributing support for use of Beck''s scale with aging minority groups. Beck''s scale appears reliable and valid for use in written self-report applications.
