The concurrent validity of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) was examined by assessing the relationship between this instrument and other measures of psychological and social functioning with which it would be expected to correlate. From a sample of 252 second through fifth graders, 15 children were identified who obtained extreme scores on the CDI (score 19 or greater). A matched comparison group of 15 children who received low scores on the CDI (scores of 5 or below) was also formed. A battery of self-report, peer, and teacher measures was administered to assess anxiety, self-esteem, academic status, teacher ratings of child behavior, sociometric status, social functioning, and other child characteristics. Findings suggested that children with extreme scores on the CDI displayed many of the characteristics critical in the diagnosis of depression and features believed to be associated with depression in children and adults. These included low self-esteem, anxiety, unassertiveness, social withdrawal, poor academic achievement, and problems with attention. |
