Abstract
Adequate reliability (internal consistency, and alternate form), and v alidity (concurrent, convergent, and discriminant) of the state versio n of Set 1 (lists A, B, C, D) and Set 2 (lists E, F, G) of the Depress ion Adjective Check Lists with two adolescent samples: F = 35, M = 29; F = 294, M = 244) were demonstrated. The lists also were shown to be sufficiently sensitive for use in measuring short-term mood. Significa nt grade effect was found on two of the lists of Set 1 and a significa nt sex effect was found on each of the lists of Set 2.
