The Beck Depression Inventory: A Cross-Validated Test of Second-Order Factorial Structure for Bulgarian Adolescents.
Byrne, Barbara M.; Baron, Pierre; Balev, Jorj
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v58 n2 p241-51 Apr 1998
The validity of a higher order factorial structure of a Bulgarian version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (A. Beck et al, 1961) for nonclinical adolescents was studied with 3 samples totaling 691. Findings yielded strong support for the hypothesized second-order factor, adding to a growing cross-cultural agglomerate of construct validity data related to the BDI. (SLD)
