![]() Nevertheless, the proposed short BDI-L version contains only one-fourth of the BDI-O without deleting any of its symptom indicators. It also had improved factorial structure. Cronbach's α, correlations with four other scales, and loadings onto two separate factors of depression were high in both BDI-O and BDI-L - although they were higher in the BDI-L. ![]() However, the M/SD ratio was well balanced in the BDI-L and not in the original and BDI-Y/N versions. It was found that the BDI-O had relatively lesser skew and kurtosis. A sample of 203 male and female volunteer Kuwaiti undergraduates was recruited. Two depression subscales derived from the Symptom Check List-90 and the Hopkins Symptom Check List were also used. Items of the short version were introduced in two response forms: Likert (L) and Yes/No (Y/N) format. e., the last alternative in each item group. The proposed short BDI version contains only 21 statements denoting the highest degree of clinical depression, i. Summary: The original Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-O) consists of 21 item groups.
