Schaefer, Allan; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v53 n3 p415-18 Jun 1985
Surveyed 101 inpatient psychiatric patients and 99 chemical dependency patients to compare the validities of the Beck Depression Inventory, the Minnesota Multiphasic personality Inventory (MMPI) Depression scale, and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. The Zung produced better validity coefficients than the Beck, which yielded higher correlations than the MMPI. (Author/BH)
