摘要
This study was designed to examine the invariance of item parameters in the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and changes in childhood depression over time among urban children in the Hunan Province of China. A total of 1,364 primary school students from the second to sixth grades participated in the study and completed four measurement waves, in which childhood depression was assessed with the CDI. The results were analyzed using the multilevel longitudinal Rasch measurement model. Seven items showed time effects in five subscales. Statistically significant negative linear time effects were observed in five subscales, and positive quadratic time effects were found in three subscales (i.e., Interpersonal Problems, Negative Self-esteem, and Negative Mood). Although a few items of the CDI were found to change with time following repeated administration, most of the CDI items showed strong longitudinal invariance of their item location parameters.
