Abstract

Background: The Beck DEPRESSION Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) is a revision of the DEPRESSION Questionnaire and a widely used self-report measure of depressive symptoms in clinical and non-clinical populations.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Beck DEPRESSION Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II-Persian) among students of Shahid Chamran University and Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences (Gundeshapur).Methods: Using random multi-stage sampling method, 468 subjects were selected among the students of the mentioned universities in the educational year 1389-90 (2010- 2011). They completed the Beck DEPRESSION Inventory-Second Edition. The data were analyzed using exploratory and CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS and SPSS-16 and AMOS-16 soft wares.Results: The results of the factor analysis (using the principal components analysis) and Varimax rotation were indicative of the two factors: cognitive-affective and negative attitude-somatic symptoms. The RELIABILITY coefficients (Cronbach’s alpha) were satisfactory for all the extracted factors. The total score of BDI-II was significantly correlated with the two extracted factors. The CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS also showed that the two-factor model, rather than the one-factor model, seems to provide a more satisfactory fit to the data in the present study.Conclusion: Finally, the study showed that BDI-II can use in research and educational settings, particularly, in assessing DEPRESSION normal and abnormal groups.
