The Relationship Between Depression and Anxiety Screeners and Personality Tests: An Exploratory Study In A Mixed Clinical Sample

Authors:

Abstract

The Beck Depression Inventory – Second Edition (BDI-II) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) are two commonly used self-report screeners for depression and anxiety, respectively. The present study aimed to determine the level of agreement between the BDI-II/BAI and the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), a more extensive measure of emotional and personality functioning. Results showed that although they only consist of 21 face-valid items, BDI-II and BAI produced high AUC values (.84-.97) against the PAI, a more robust 344-item symptom inventory in this sample of neuropsychiatric patients. Thus, clinicians are justified in using the BDI-II and BAI to measure depression and anxiety.
