Comparison of Beck Depression Inventories -IA and -II in psychiatric outpatients.

TLDR
The amended (revised) Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-IA) and theBeck Depression Inventory-II (BDi-II) were self-administered to 140 psychiatric outpatients with various psychiatric disorders.
Abstract
The amended (revised) Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-IA; Beck & Steer, 1993b) and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996) were self-administered to 140 psychiatric outpatients with various psychiatric disorders. The coefficient alphas of the BDI-IA and the BDI-II were, respectively, .89 and .91. The mean rating for Sadness on the BDI-IA was higher than it was on the BDI-II, but the mean ratings for Past Failure, Self-Dislike, Change in Sleeping Pattern, and Change in Appetite were higher on the BDI-II than they were on the BDI-IA. The mean BDI-II total score was approximately 2 points higher than it was for the BDI-IA, and the outpatients also endorsed approximately one more symptom on the BDI-II than they did on the BDI-IA. The correlations of BDI-IA and BDI-II total scores with sex, ethnicity, age, the diagnosis of a mood disorder, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Steer, 1993a) were within 1 point of each other for the same variables.

The New Statistics Why and How

TL;DR: An eight-step new-statistics strategy for research with integrity is described, which starts with formulation of research questions in estimation terms, has no place for NHST, and is aimed at building a cumulative quantitative discipline.

Large-Scale Network Dysfunction in Major Depressive Disorder: A Meta-analysis of Resting-State Functional Connectivity.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of rsFC studies provides an empirical foundation for a neurocognitive model in which network dysfunction underlies core cognitive and affective abnormalities in depression.

Major Depressive Disorder Is Associated With Broad Impairments on Neuropsychological Measures of Executive Function: A Meta-Analysis and Review

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that major depressive disorder is reliably associated with impaired performance on neuropsychological measures of EF, and the results are consistent with the theory that MDD is associated with broad impairment in multiple aspects of EF.

Reconsidering anhedonia in depression: lessons from translational neuroscience.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a refined definition of anhedonia that distinguishes between deficits in pleasure and motivation is essential for the purposes of identifying its neurobiological substrates and introduced the term "decisionalAnhedonia" to address the influence of anhydonia on reward decision-making.

Taking the measure of anxiety and depression. Validity of the reconstructed Hamilton scales.

TL;DR: Factor and discriminant analyses were used to develop revised anxiety and depression scales that were less positively correlated with each other, showed greater internal consistency, and differentiated MDD and GAD better than the original scales.

Applications of the Beck Depression Inventory

TL;DR: A review about the psychometric properties of the BDI has been written by Beck and Beamesderfer [15] and Mayer [123] as discussed by the authors, who stressed reliability and validity, whereas the latter review also compared the self-report measures of depression.
