Measurement Invariance and Structure Validity of Scores on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression - Revised (CESD-R) Scale with a Large University Sample

Psychometric characteristics of CESD-R scores were explored on a sample of 966 undergraduate students. Internal consistency (α = .92), external convergent and discriminant validity, and response bias were adequate to excellent. Strong measurement invariance was evident for gender and race comparison...

Summary:Psychometric characteristics of CESD-R scores were explored on a sample of 966 undergraduate students. Internal consistency (α = .92), external convergent and discriminant validity, and response bias were adequate to excellent. Strong measurement invariance was evident for gender and race comparisons, and the unidimensional model fit the data best.
