Abstrakt

Wstęp: Teoria Całościowej Cechy pozwala na konceptualizację konstruktów jako krótkotrwałego stanu i jako cechy. Depresja również może być rozumiana na dwa sposoby, jako krótkotrwały stan i jako cecha. Celem naszego badania była weryfikacja struktury czynnikowej skali depresji zarówno na poziomie inter-, jak i intraindywidualnym oraz zbadanie korelacji między gęstością stanu depresji a depresją jako cechą.

Materiał i metody: W badaniu wykorzystano skalę depresji DASS-21 i przeprowadzono trwające 14 dni badanie dzienniczkowe oparte o pomiar powtarzany na próbie 147 osób (zbadano 49.3% kobiet oraz 50.7% mężczyzn). Badanie przeprowadzono za pomocą ankiety internetowej, w której pozycje skali były wyświetlane w losowej kolejności dla każdej osoby każdego dnia. Respondenci codziennie oceniali intensywność wskaźników depresji.

Dyskusja: Dwupoziomowa konfirmacyjna analiza czynnikowa dowiodła, że struktury jednoczynnikowe są najlepszym sposobem na wyjaśnienie między- i wewnątrzindywidualnej wariancji depresji. Rzetelność dla pomiaru depresji jako stanu i jako gęstości stanów była wysoka. Korelacja uśrednionego pomiaru depresji jako stanu z jednorazowym pomiarem depresji jako cechy była bardzo silna, dostarczając tym samym empirycznych dowodów na słuszność głównej tezy Teorii Całościowej Cechy.

Wnioski: Niniejsze badanie otwiera nowe możliwości pomiaru depresji w badaniach i praktyce klinicznej przy użyciu powtarzanych pomiarów depresji jako stanu. Badanie dynamiki zmian w stanach depresji pozwala na bardziej precyzyjne przewidywanie tendencji danej osoby do doświadczania depresji.
