Abstract

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.
