Abstract
The depressive affect of black (N = 19) and white (N = 21) adolescent females was compared by means of Set 2 of the Depression Adjective Che ck Lists (DACL) in a preliminary search for depression-proneness facto rs. The depressive affect of the two groups was not significantly diff erent. In addition, the DACL means of the black adolescent females wer e not significantly different from another sample of white female adol escents (N = 37) from the same school system.
