SILVA, Cecilia y JIMENEZ-CRUZ, Blanca Elizabeth. Construction of a Short Version Scale of Trait Depression in Adolescents. Acta de investigación psicol [online]. 2016, vol.6, n.1, pp.2317-2324. ISSN 2007-4719. https://doi.org/10.1016/s2007-4719(16)30052-7.
Since adolescence is a particularly vulnerable stage to present depressed mood, and because there is a greater emphasis on depression as a state with the consequent lack of instruments to evaluate it as a feature (understood as the tendency to respond in a depressive way to daily situations), 407 young people with an average age of 20.14 years were evaluated. As the result, a reliable scale of five items was obtained (α = .711) useful to assess depression trait in adolescents. Its validity was confirmed by the convergence of the obtained scores with those resulting from the IDERE (Ramirez, Grau, Martin & Grau, 1989).
