背景：Radloff（Appl Psychol Meas. 1977. 1：385-401）在流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）上的结果表明成年人群中存在4因素模型。然而，亚洲青少年的CES-D的因素结构尚未得到广泛验证。本研究的目的是在一个大型的代表性的台湾青少年population.Method：共10116青少年完成了中文版的CES-D的因素结构。采用验证性因素分析的方法，将青少年按性别和年龄分为4组，对5个因素结构模型的适用性进行了检验。此外，本研究亦将自杀倾向、失眠、同侪关系等变项纳入验证性因素分析，以探讨CES-D的因子结构，并探讨CES-D因子与这些变项的相关性。结果：本研究结果显示，四因子模式（忧郁情绪、躯体症状、人际关系问题、积极情绪）在台湾青少年中的效度最高。我们还发现，虽然4个因素的CES-D相互关联，其相关性与自杀倾向，失眠，和peerrelationships.Conclusions：本研究支持有用的中文版的CES-D作为一种工具，以了解台湾青少年抑郁症的概念。(C)2012 Elsevier Inc.

Background: The original study of Radloff (Appl Psychol Meas. 1977. 1:385-401) on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) indicated a 4-factor model in the adult population. However, the factor structure of the CES-D in Asian adolescents has not been extensively validated. The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Chinese version of the CES-D in a large representative Taiwanese adolescent population.Method: A total of 10 116 adolescents completed the Chinese version of the CES-D. We used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the adequacy of 5 models of the factor structure in adolescents who were divided into 4 groups by sex and age. We also enrolled the variables of suicide tendency, insomnia, and peer relationships into the confirmatory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of the CES-D and examined the correlations between the CES-D factors and these variables.Results: The results of this study indicated that the four-factor model (depressed affect, somatic symptoms, interpersonal problems, and positive affect) had the highest validity in Taiwanese adolescents. We also found that although the 4 factors of the CES-D were correlated with each other, their correlations with suicide tendency, insomnia, and peer relationships were different.Conclusions: This study supported the usefulness of the Chinese version of the CES-D as a tool to understand the concept of depression in Taiwanese adolescents.
