A short adjective check list for the evaluation of anxiety and depression.
From a list of 54 adjectives administered to 230 detoxified, chronic alcoholics, reliable (internally consistent) scales for Anxiety and Depression states were formed. Factor analysis yielded an additional five scales that correlated in varying degrees with the clinical scales. Women alcoholics were both more depressed and more anxious than male alcoholics. Alcoholics assigned to inpatient treatment were no more depressed or anxious than those seen on a day-clinic basis.
