本研究在813例类风湿关节炎患者中检测了流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D; Radloff，1977）测量结构的时间稳定性。受试者间隔1年三次完成CES-D（Radloff，1977）。结构方程模型和多序列相关性被用来解决以前的研究方法的局限性。四个竞争的测量结构进行了测试，一个因素，三个因素，四个因素，和一个单一的二阶因素的四因素模型。四因素和二阶因素模型在时间1提供了最佳拟合。当在时间2和时间3交叉验证时，四因子和二阶因子模型保持不变。研究人员现在可以更自信地使用CES-D来检查慢性身体疾病中的痛苦变化。
This study examined the temporal stability of the measurement structure of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D; Radloff, 1977) in 813 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Participants completed the CES-D (Radloff, 1977) on three occasions 1 year apart. Structural equation models and polyserial correlations were used to address methodological limitations of previous studies. Four competing measurement structures were tested with one factor, three factors, four factors, and a single second-order factor underlying the four-factor model. The four-factor and the second-order-factor models provided the best fit at Time 1. When cross-validated at Times 2 and 3, the four-factor and the second-order-factor models remained invariant. Researchers can now more confidently use the CES-D to examine how distress changes in chronic physical disorders.
