目的：抑郁焦虑压力量表 21 (DASS-21) 是自我报告测量的简短版本，最初开发的目的是最大限度地区分抑郁和焦虑症状。尽管有令人鼓舞的证据，但 DASS-21 的因素结构和其他特征尚未确定。方法：417 名参与者和两个临床组（32 名抑郁患者和 25 名焦虑患者）组成的社区样本完成了 DASS-21 的意大利版本以及多项精神病理学测量。结果：验证性因素分析表明 DASS-21 是一般痛苦的测量加上三个额外的正交维度（焦虑、 抑郁症和压力）。测量的内部一致性和时间稳定性良好；每个 DASS-21 量表与类似结构的测量值相关性更强，表现出良好的收敛效度和发散效度。最后，DASS-21 表现出良好的以标准为导向的效度。结论：意大利 DASS-21 的效度及其对于社区和临床个体的实用性均得到支持。 (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Objective: The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) is the short version of a self-report measure that was originally developed to provide maximum differentiation between depressive and anxious symptoms. Despite encouraging evidence, the factor structure and other features of the DASS-21 are yet to be firmly established.Method: A community sample of 417 participants and two clinical groups (32 depressive patients and 25 anxious patients) completed the Italian version of the DASS-21 along with several measures of psychopathology.Results: Confirmatory factor analyses suggested that the DASS-21 is a measure of general distress plus three additional orthogonal dimensions (anxiety, depression, and stress). The internal consistency and temporal stability of the measure were good; each DASS-21 scale correlated more strongly with a measure of a similar construct, demonstrating good convergent and divergent validity. Lastly, the DASS-21 demonstrated good criterion-oriented validity.Conclusion: The validity of the Italian DASS-21 and its utility, both for community and clinical individuals, are supported.
