Sublimation Depression Scale For The Establishment Of College Students' Normal Norms

Research Background:Health is not only the absence of disease, but also physical health, mental health, social well-adapted and moral health. Subthreshold depression (subthreshold depression, hereinafter referred to as SD) refers to having depressive symptoms but can not achieve a clinical diagnostic criteria for depression is between a mental health and sub-health state between depression. The study showed that SD has the very high incidence in the crowd, and college students more easily than the general population suffer from SD invasion. If not early detection and early intervention, there is a higher risk of developing depression. As in the present study, SD is no specific screening assessment tool for evaluating usually by depression or self-rating depression scale assessment scale, but there are certain non-applicability in the process of assessing SD and defective, for this, our group in the previous study, the preparation of the subthreshold depression scale. Therefore, the preparation of the scale of SD and select standardized college samples of Traditional Chinese Medicine Surveying to establish subthreshold depression scale Students norms and delineation of critical value to expand the depth and breadth of SD research, rich psychological Asia health and science in the field of psychometric research.Research purposes:Take the self-made subthreshold depression scale to test of the national college of Traditional Chinese Medicine students’ level of SD, the subthreshold depression scale reliability and validity, and to establish a norm under Students subthreshold depression, and subthreshold depression scale critical value of the initial delineation.Research methods:According to the geographical division of the eastern, central and western college of Traditional Chinese Medicine students sampling, gender, grade, nationality, whether the child, the family seat as the demographic variables, stratified, random cluster sampling method of combining, decimation Students SD 2805 people survey, while call flow Depression Scale (CES-D) for the school mark scale measurements. Retest sample selection in the Beijing area of the university of fourth grade students 62 people, weight measuring time for 2 weeks.Research result:(1) SD Scale total score of each entry with the correlation coefficient r values between 0.471-0.715, indicating that the scale of the entries have a good discrimination; scale test-retest reliability, split-half reliability and internal consistency reliability 0.884,0.912 and 0.942, respectively, greater than 0.8, P values were less than 0.01, indicating that the scale is very good reliability.(2) The statistical results and the theoretical construction of subthreshold depression scale scores high consistency, and the scale between each dimension has good independence and homogeneity, good content validity; Criterion validity inspection of SD scale and CES-D scale between the correlation coefficient is 0.662, significant at 0.01 level, good affinity; According to the result of factor analysis found that SD scale has good structure validity. Description Scale good reliability.(3) Students of different demographic variables on the SD score, among them, the college students of different regions:West> Central> Eastern; University of fourth grade students of SD, the highest level of first-year university students SD had the lowest levels; Minority college students SD level higher than that of the han nationality college students; Not only children SD level is higher than university students is only children college students; Rural college students SD level is higher than urban students; Male college students in SD scored slightly higher than that of female college students score on the scale, but the difference was not significant. According to the results of statistical analysis, set up the national college students SD norm, the norm of coarse points distribution and percentile rank norm, and draw a score of 90 into the critical points, corresponding to the 80 percentile.In conclusion:(1) SD scale has good reliability and validity in college students.(2)There are significant differences between thearea, grade, nationality, whether the child, the family seat.(3) TO established the subthreshold depression of college of Traditional Chinese Medicine students norm, and SD scale threshold value preliminarily delineated.
