The Children's Depression Inventory: A Comparison of Generalizability and Classical Test Theory Analyses.

Crowley, Susan L.; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v54 n3 p705-13 Fall 1994

Dependability of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) was studied using both generalizability and classical test score analyses with a sample of 164 elementary school students. Results suggest that sources of error variance interact to decrease dependability of CDI scores. Depression in children might be better assessed through multiple testing. (SLD)
