抑郁症的简短和文化兼容的措施是必要的，但大多数抑郁症量表的翻译不考虑文化偏见。本研究292名门诊患者完成了贝克抑郁量表（BDI）的英语或西班牙语翻译和回译版本。分析BDI项目在西班牙语和英语患者之间的偏倚，以确定量表的等效性。使用Mantel Haenszel方法对有序反应类别进行微分项目函数（DIF），以分析两个种族组中受试者支持每个反应类别的可能性。结果表明，无论抑郁程度如何。拉丁美洲人更倾向于支持反映眼泪和惩罚的项目，而不太可能支持无法工作。文化的解释和建议使用的BDI进行了讨论。(C)John Wiley & Sons，Inc.
Brief and culturally compatible measures of depression are necessary, yet most depression scales are translated without regard for cultural biases. In this study. 292 medical outpatients completed an English or a Spanish-translated and back-translated version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The BDI items were analyzed for bias between Spanish and English-speaking patients to determine the equivalence of the scale. A Differential Item Function (DIF) using a Mantel Haenszel Approach for Ordered Response Categories was used to analyze how likely subjects in the two ethnic groups were to endorse each response category. The results suggest that regardless of level of depression. Latinos are more likely to endorse items reflecting tearfulness and punishment, and less likely to endorse inability to work. Cultural interpretations and recommendations for use of the BDI are discussed. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
