为了评估被诊断为单相抑郁症的青少年的平均贝克抑郁量表- ii得分是否与年龄有关，对13至17岁被诊断为抑郁症的144名（60%）女性和96名（40%）男性门诊患者进行了问卷调查。评分的内部一致性较高（系数alpha= 0.89）。采用方差的析因分析来检验年龄、性别、种族、抑郁症类型、合并症的主要影响，以及年龄与其他主要影响的双向相互作用。平均得分不受年龄或年龄与其他影响的相互作用的影响。在这5年的范围内，临床抑郁青少年的平均得分缺乏年龄差异，这与之前报道的青少年和成年人的这种差异的研究结果进行了讨论。
To assess whether the mean Beck Depression Inventory-II scores of adolescents who were diagnosed with unipolar depressive disorders differed with respect to age, the inventory was administered to 144 (60%) female and 96 (40%) male outpatients between 13 and 17 yr. who were diagnosed with depressive disorders. The internal consistency of the scores was high (coefficient alpha=.89). A factorial analysis of variance was used to test for the main effects of age, sex, ethnicity, type of depressive disorder, comorbidity, and the two-way interactions of age with the other main effects. The mean scores were not differentiated by age or by the interactions of age with the other effects. The lack of age differences in this 5-year range on the mean scores of clinically depressed adolescents was discussed with respect to previous findings that have reported such differences in adolescents and adults.
