J Lomranz, B Lubin, N Eyal

    Journal of Personality Assessment

    Summary

    Researchers developed a Hebrew version of the Depression Adjective Check Lists (DACL) for research. The translated DACL demonstrated sufficient reliability and validity in initial studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychological Assessment
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • The need for culturally adapted psychological instruments is crucial for accurate research.
    • The original Depression Adjective Check Lists (DACL) require validation in diverse linguistic contexts.
    • Hebrew-speaking populations necessitate a reliable and valid measure for depression assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a Hebrew translation of the Depression Adjective Check Lists (DACL).
    • To assess the psychometric properties of the Hebrew DACL for research applications.
    • To ensure the translated instrument accurately measures depressive symptoms in a Hebrew-speaking cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Linguistic translation and adequacy assessment of the DACL into Hebrew.
    • Evaluation of reliability using split-half, alternate form, internal consistency, and test-retest methods.
    • Concurrent and discriminant validity assessed through correlations with established depression and well-being scales (MMPI-D, Bradburn, Cantril, Katz).

    Main Results:

    • Translated DACL lists E, F, and G exhibited sufficiently high reliability for most measures.
    • Test-retest reliability for the state DACL was found to be sufficiently low.
    • Concurrent validity was supported by sufficiently high correlations in the expected direction across three samples.
    • Discriminant validity was demonstrated through correlations with sub-scales of the Bradburn Scale of Well-being.

    Conclusions:

    • The Hebrew version of the Depression Adjective Check Lists (DACL) is a reliable and valid instrument for research purposes.
    • The translated DACL shows promise for accurate depression assessment in Hebrew-speaking populations.
    • Further research may be needed to refine the test-retest reliability of the state DACL.
