본 연구는 한국판 Beck 아동용 우울척도의 표준화를 위한 예비연구로 이루어졌다. 초등학생 105명과 우울아동집단 61명을 대상으로 연구한 결과, 신뢰도와 타당도가 모두 비교적 양호하게 나타났다. 내적 일관성 신뢰도는 α 계수가 .92로 상당히 높았다. 요인 분석을 통해 ‘부정적 태도’와 ‘부적 정서 및 신체증상’의 2요인으로 구성되어 있다는 결과가 얻어졌고, 기존의 우울증 척도들과도 유의미한 상관을 보여 공존타당도가 확인되었다. 또한 우울점수가 정상 집단에 비해 임상집단에서 더 높아 척도의 준거타당도가 확인되었고, 교사의 평정결과와도 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 마지막으로 본 연구가 갖는 제한점과 후속 연구에 대한 시사점을 논의하였다
The current study was conducted to examine the reliability and validity of a Korean translation of BDI-Y (Beck Depression Inventory-Youth). Participants were 105 students (50 boys and 55 girls) attending elementary schools in Seoul and Kyungki-do. The students were predominantly in grades 4 through 6. The comparison group for the current study consisted of 61 children (30 boys and 31 girls) who visited psychiatric clinic due to depressive symptoms and received DSM-IV diagnosis of mood disorders. The Korean version of Beck Depression Inventory-Youth produced high internal consistency reliabilities with alpha coefficients of .92. Results of factor analysis showed that two factors were appropriate to describe the underlying dimensions of the inventory. The first factor included the items regarding negative attitude. The second factor was related to depressed mood and somatic symptoms. The Korean Beck Depression Inventory-Youth showed significant correlations with other measures to evaluate depression. The comparison group yielded higher scores on the Beck Inventory than normal children. No significant differences were found between boys and girls on all measures included. The Beck Inventory scores obtained by children were significantly correlated with teachers' ratings of children's behavior. Limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were also discussed.
