Abstract
ROSAS-SANTIAGO, FRANCISCO JAVIER; RODRIGUEZ-PEREZ, VÍCTOR; HERNANDEZ-AGUILERA, ROSA DIANETH and LAGUNES-CORDOBA, ROBERTO. Factorial Structure of Mexican Version of the Beck Depression Inventory II in General Population of Mexican Southeastern. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.436-449. Epub Oct 20, 2021. ISSN 0120-5552. https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.36.2.616.85.
Objective:
To determine the factorial structure of the BDI-II questionnaire in the open population of southeastern Mexico.
Method:
BDI-II applications were collected in a sample of 3,701 inhabitants of the municipality of Oaxaca de Juarez from seven different colonies. The general characteristics of the population are described and the adjustment of the structure to the data of the sample is contrasted with five factorial structures proposed in previous psychometric validation studies by means of confirmatory factor analysis. Likewise, the total reliability of the test was determined.
Results:
The confirmatory analysis shows that the data conform to the theoretical structure proposed by Beck, Steer and Brown with two modifications. The other structures analyzed have less satisfactory adjustment indices. The total reliability of the test was .92.
Discussion and conclusion:
We discuss some reasons why the results of this work differ from those reported in previous research and the importance of adequate psychometric analysis for tests used in different study populations.
Keywords : Beck II depression inventory; confirmatory factor analysis; factorial structure; Mexico.
