Assessing the Stability of Depression in College Students.

Tanaka, J. S.; Huba, G. J.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v22 n1 p5-19 Jan 1987

Two approaches are used to assess the one-month stability of depression affect in college students: (1) a high retest correlation is demonstrated for a latent depressive affect construct using self-reports from the previous month; and (2) predictive validity of depressive categorization is examined using logistic regression techniques.
