Brief Versions of the Spanish Depression Adjective Check Lists: Some Indices of Reliability and Validity

Abstract

Data from a previously reported study (Lubin, Schoenfeld, Rinck, & Millham, Note 1) were reanalyzed using each of the two columns of each form (E, F, and G) of the Spanish version of the Depression Adjective Check Lists as a complete instrument. Reliability (alternate list, internal consistency, and part-whole) and concurrent validity were almost as high as complete forms (E, F, and G).

Datos de un estudio anterior (Lubin, Schoenfeld, Rinck & Millham, Note 1) se re-analizaron utilizando dos columnas de cada una de las formas (E, F y G) de la versión Castellana del Depression Adjective Check List. La confiabilidad (con listas alternadas, consistencia interna y parte-total) y la validez concurrente, fueron casi tan altas como las encontradas con las formas completas.
