Abstract
To provide further information about the construct validity of the Bec k Depression Inventory-II the inventory was administered to 210 psychi atric outpatients along with Derogatis' SCL-90-R. As hypothesized, the Beck Depression Inventory-II was more positively correlated with scor es on the Depression subscale (r = .89) than it was with scores on the Anxiety subscale of the SCL-90-R (r = .71).
