Fiabilidad y valores normativos de la versión española del inventario para la depresión de Beck de 1978.

Abstract

This paper provides for the first time normative and reliability data of the Spanish version of Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI). Data were collected from a sample of 445 adults. Reliability estimates were high (Cronbach alpha coefficient = .83). Significant differences were found regarding gender, age and education. First, women scored higher than men. Second, subjects aged over 45 scored higher than younger ones, and people aged over 65 in their turn scored higher than those aged 45 to 64. Third, lowest educated people also scored higher than high school or college education subjects. Norms and centile scores are provided both for the total sample and for gender-defined and age-defined subgroups. Finally, the usefulness of such scores is discussed for the clinical significance of depression therapy results. Also, a BDI content validity is worked out with respect to DSM-IV criteria
