本研究探讨了简式抑郁焦虑应激量表(DASS-21，Loviond&Loviond，1995b)在青少年样本中的结构。484名高中生(平均年龄13 62岁，最小年龄11 83岁，最大年龄15 67岁)。52%的男孩)完成了DASS-21考试。使用测试了几个模型。验证性因素分析。一个与成人DASS的因素结构相一致的模型，具有相关的误差项，提供了很好的数据拟合。然而，这些因素之间的相关性非常高。我们检验了一个包含一个共同的“负面情绪”因素以及抑郁、焦虑和紧张/压力这三个特定因素的“四方”模型，以解释这些相关性，并得到了数据的支持。这一模型表明，抑郁和焦虑的核心症状在成年人和青少年中是相似的，但对青少年紧张/压力的概念化和评估需要进一步完善(C)2009由Elsevier Ltd.出版的青少年服务专业人员协会。保留所有权利。
This study explored the factor structure of the short form of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21, Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995b) in a young adolescent sample. A group of 484 high school students (Mean age = 13 62 years, Min = 11 83, Max = 15 67 years. 52 % boys) completed the DASS-21. Several models were tested using. Confirmatory Factor Analysis. A model consistent with the factor structure of the adult DASS, with correlated error terms, provided good fit to the data. However, correlations among the factors were very high A 'quadripartite' model involving a common 'Negative Affect' factor as well as the three specific factors of Depression, Anxiety and Tension/Stress was tested to explain these correlations and was supported by the data. This model suggests that the core symptoms of Depression and Anxiety are similar in adults and adolescents, but the conceptualisation and assessment of Tension/Stress in adolescents needs further refinement (C) 2009 The Association for Professionals in Services for Adolescents Published by Elsevier Ltd.
