Abstract

Background: Anxiety and depression are the most common current mental health problems. Due to their comorbidity, there is a need for instruments that measure them simultaneously. Moreover, given that their prevalence varies by gender and age, it is important to examine the factorial invariance of such instruments. The present study aimed to analyze the dimensionality and factorial invariance of the Basque version of the Educational-Clinical Questionnaire: Anxiety and Depression (CECAD) as a function of gender and age, and to gather additional evidence of its validity.

Method: The sample comprised 2131 participants (54.2% female) between 7 and 24 years old ( M = 13.2; SD = 3.52).

Results: The CECAD was found to have a two-dimensional structure invariant to gender and age, with higher latent means for girls in both dimensions, and for those aged 14 and over in depression, but with small effect sizes. Both reliability and convergent validity values were good.

Conclusions: The Basque version of the CECAD has good evidence of validity and reliability for assessing anxiety and depression in Basque-speaking children and adolescents.

巴斯克人焦虑和抑郁问卷（CECAD）的心理计量特性和因子不变性巴斯克人焦虑和抑郁（CECAD）的心理测量特性和因子不变性。

背景：焦虑和抑郁是当前最常见的心理健康问题。由于这两种问题具有共通性，因此需要同时测量这两种问题的工具。此外，鉴于它们的患病率因性别和年龄而异，研究此类工具的因子不变性也非常重要。本研究旨在分析巴斯克语版《教育-临床问卷》的维度和因子不变性：方法：样本包括 2131 名 7 至 24 岁的参与者（54.2% 为女性）（男 = 13.2；女 = 3.52）：结果发现，CECAD具有与性别和年龄无关的二维结构，女孩在两个维度上的潜在平均值都较高，14岁及以上的人在抑郁方面的潜在平均值也较高，但影响大小较小。信度和收敛效度均良好：巴斯克语版 CECAD 在评估巴斯克语儿童和青少年的焦虑和抑郁方面具有良好的有效性和可靠性。
