近年来,主观幸福感(SWB)的研究引起了广泛的关注。SWB的最新定义是McGreal和Joseph(1993)抑郁-幸福量表。本研究的目的是探讨抑郁-幸福量表与其他几个成熟的抑郁量表的收敛效度。受试者为194名就读于阿尔斯特大学的本科生。抑郁-幸福量表的分数越低,表明消极思想和感受的频率越高,积极思想和感受的频率越低,与贝克抑郁量表、自评抑郁量表和流行病学研究中心抑郁量表的分数越高相关。这些数据进一步证明了抑郁-幸福量表的收敛效度。
In recent years, the study of subjective well-being (SWB) has attracted much research interest. One recent operational definition of SWB is the McGreal and Joseph (1993) Depression-Happiness Scale. The aim of the present research was to investigate the convergent validity of the Depression-Happiness Scale with several other well established measures of depressive symptomatology. Subjects were 194 undergraduate students attending the University of Ulster. Lower scores on the Depression-Happiness Scale, indicating a higher frequency of negative thoughts and feelings and a lower frequency of positive thoughts and feelings, were associated with higher scores on the Beck Depression Inventory, the Self-Rating Depression Scale, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. These data provide further evidence for the convergent validity of the Depression-Happiness Scale.
