简明症状量表-18（BSI-18：Derogatis，2000）是9个维度、53项BSI（Derogatis，1993）的缩写版本，BSI是90项症状自评量表-90-修订版（SCL-90-R：Derogatis，1994）的缩写形式。批评集中在因素结构（参见。Boulet & Boss，1991; Ruiperez，Ibanez，Lorente，摩罗，& Ortet，2001）以及两个较旧版本的判别效度较差，表明量表的有用性仅限于整体评分。采用主成分分析法，以100名中美洲移民为研究对象，探讨了BSI - 18的三维因子结构。结果表明，一个潜在的因素，最好用在总的一般筛选的整体水平的心理困扰。讨论了文化差异。
The Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18: Derogatis, 2000) is an abbreviated version of the nine dimension, 53-item BSI (Derogatis, 1993) which is a shortened form of the 90-item Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R: Derogatis, 1994). Criticism focused on factor structure (cf. Boulet & Boss, 1991; Ruiperez, Ibanez, Lorente, Moro, & Ortet, 2001) and the two older versions' poor discriminant validity suggest the scales' usefulness is limited to global scores only. Using principal component analysis, the authors explore the three-dimension factor structure of the BSI - 18 with the understudied population of Central American immigrants to the U.S. (N = 100). Results suggest one underlying factor best used in aggregate as a general screening for overall levels of psychological distress. Cultural differences are discussed.
