[Stability, reliability and factor structure of a German version of the Children's Depression Inventory (Kovacs 1983)].
A German version of the Children's Depression Inventory (Kovacs, 1983) was used three times in a study with 84 elementary school pupils (4th grade) aged between 9 and 12. The scale was sounded out on its psychometric properties. Results obtained offered a satisfactory reliability (Cronbachs's alpha between .81 and 87, Retest-reliability = .80 for an four weeks interval) and stability (r = .75 and r = .72 for intervals of 5 and 6 months). The factor analyses indicate that the German version of the CDI is an unidimensional scale. The results are compared with those of the American original and to other German CDI-Versions.
