目前的调查研究项目选择的潜在重要性，在正在进行的讨论有关抑郁症的分类。继JC之后Coyne（1994），我们将“痛苦”的分类性与更侧重于躯体症状的综合征的分类性（即，非自愿失败综合征）。使用4个样本的984名大学生，我们首先复制了J.Ruscio和A。M. Ruscio（2000）的结果表明，困扰项目指标是维度的。然后，我们展示了分类使用项目集中在躯体症状和反射的破坏多种稳态机制。结果表明，项目的选择是中央抑郁症的分类确定。
The current investigation examines the potential importance of item selection in the ongoing discussion regarding the taxonicity of depression. Following J. C. Coyne (1994), we contrast the taxonicity of "distress" with the taxonicity of a syndrome more focused on somatic symptoms (i.e., the involuntary defeat syndrome). Using 4 samples of 984 undergraduates, we first replicate the J. Ruscio and A. M. Ruscio (2000) results by showing that distress item indicators are dimensional. We then demonstrate taxonicity using items focused on somatic symptoms and reflective of disruption of multiple homeostatic mechanisms. Results suggest that item selection is central to the determination of taxonicity in depression.
