汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HDRS）已成为抑郁症的标准观察者评定量表，但缺乏足够的正常样本数据。本研究在北方意大利进行。目的是检验正常人的评分，并检验量表在不同语言和文化中的效度。该量表被用于40名正常人和40名抑郁症患者。两个抑郁自评量表：症状评定测验和症状问卷。HDRS是一个有效的措施，因为它敏感地区分抑郁症患者和正常人。这些发现支持了Hamilton的观点，即只有量表的前17个项目才适合计算分数。使用自评量表获得了更多的信息。症状评定测验的误分率与HDRS相似。研究诊断标准（RDC）和HRDS的联合使用似乎是更可靠的抑郁症患者的研究比RDC的选择。
The Hamilton Rating Scale for depression (HDRS) has become the standard observer rating scale for depression, yet there are no adequate data from normal samples. The present study was carried out in northern Italy. The purposes were to examine the ratings in normals and to examine the scale''s validity in a different language and culture. The scale was used in 40 normals and 40 depressives who were matched. Two self-rating scales of depression were administered: the Symptom Rating Test and the Symptom Questionnaire. The HDRS is a valid measure in that it sensitively discriminates between depressed patients and normals. The findings support Hamilton''s view that only the first 17 items of the scale are appropriate for computing the score. The use of self-rating scales yielded additional information. The misclassification rate of the Symptom Rating Test was similar to that of the HDRS. The combined use of Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC) and HRDS appears to be more reliable for the selection of depressed patients for research than the RDC only.
