摘要
The present study used factor analytic procedures to examine the factor structure of the CES-D among Filipino-American adolescents residing in rural and small town Hawaii. A total of 243 Filipino-American high school students completed the 20-item scale, and maximum likelihood analyses were employed to obtain a final solution. The results indicated that two factors provide a reasonably good fit: factor I combined depressed affect, somatic-retardation and interpersonal items, and factor II consisted of the remaining four positive affect items. The overlap of depressed affect and somatic symptoms support previous findings found among Asian American adults and other ethnic minority adolescents. The loading of the interpersonal items on the first factor is more unusual and suggests that interpersonal factors are not distinguished from depressed affect for the Filipino-American adolescent group. The usefulness of the CES-D as a tool to gain an understanding of the concept of depression across cultures is discussed.
