The revised Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (RDEQ) is reliable and valid for assessing depression, showing structural differences from the original DEQ. Its scales correlate well, but intercorrelations differ, impacting depression assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ) assesses introjective and anaclitic personality dimensions linked to depression.
  • The revised DEQ (RDEQ) was developed to simplify scoring and improve cross-gender comparisons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between the original DEQ and the revised RDEQ.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the RDEQ.
  • To examine the RDEQ's structural properties and its association with depression.

Main Methods:

  • Two samples were used: 163 psychiatric outpatients and 144 adolescent/young adult offspring of patients and controls.
  • Correlations between original DEQ and RDEQ scales were analyzed.
  • Internal consistency, stability, and convergent/discriminant validity of the RDEQ were assessed using various measures.

Main Results:

  • RDEQ scales highly correlated with corresponding original DEQ scales, but exhibited different intercorrelation patterns.
  • The RDEQ demonstrated good internal consistency and 6-month test-retest stability.
  • RDEQ showed predicted relationships with depression measures and was associated with depression course over 6 months.

Conclusions:

  • The RDEQ is a reliable and valid measure for assessing depression-related personality dimensions.
  • Findings support the RDEQ's utility across diverse samples and genders.
  • Important structural differences exist between the original DEQ and the revised RDEQ.
