本研究旨在检验儿童S抑郁量表的部分心理测量学特征，该量表是由Kovacs和Beck(1977)设计的用于测量儿童和青少年抑郁的自我报告量表。规范性和可靠性数据来自宾夕法尼亚州中部八所公立学校的三个独立样本。报告的抑郁症特征的年龄和性别差异也被调查了。受试者为男性594人，女性658人，年龄8~16岁，综合平均年龄11.67岁(SD=1.91)。对所有1252名受试者进行集体测试；155名五年级受试者(男77名，女78名)在3周后复测；107名七年级和八年级受试者(男45名，女62名)在一年后复测。组合样本的分布统计得出总体CDI平均值为9.09，标准差为7.04，分布的前10%的截止点得分为19。信度评估通过系数α，项目-总分乘积-时刻相关和重测系数被证明是可以接受的。在几个条目与总分的相关性和CDI分数的重测信度上，获得了性别差异。
The present study was undertaken to examine some of the psychometric properties of the Children''s Depression Inventory (CDI), a self-report inventory devised by Kovacs and Beck (1977) to measure depression in children and adolescents. Normative and reliability data were obtained from three independent samples taken from eight public schools in central Pennsylvania. Age- and gender-related differences in reported characteristics of depression were also investigated. The subjects were 594 males and 658 females whose ages ranged from 8 to 16 years and whose combined mean age was 11.67 years (SD = 1.91). The CDI was group-administered to all 1,252 subjects; 155 fifth-grade subjects (77 males and 78 females) were retested after 3 weeks, and 107 seventh- and eight-grade subjects (45 males and 62 females) were retested after 1 year. The distribution statistics for the combined samples yielded an overall CDI mean of 9.09, a standard deviation of 7.04, and a cutoff score of 19 for the upper 10% of the distribution. Reliability assessed through coefficient alpha, item-total score product-moment correlations, and test-retest coefficients proved acceptable. Gender differences were obtained for several item-total score correlations and for test-retest reliability of CDI scores.
