Have you used State-Trait Depression Scales (STDS)? More information you will find here:

What population are you studying? Would you consider Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale?

Nese Direk

Dear all,

Thanks for all answers. It is an adult, general-population sample.

For the state measurement, I am considering HADS which is practical and good enough as I read.

But trait is a bit more difficult. Commonly used tool, STAI, received some criticism being not good to distinguish between anxiety and depression.

I will explore more on PANAS, WDQ,STDS and MASQ.

Mr. Fresco, it represent the tendency to experience depressed mood and other depressive mood related situations.

Mariantonia Lemos

Maybe you can consider both scales from Spielberger: STAI and IDER, one for anxiety and the other for depression. Although its true that is very difficult to distinguish between depression and anxiety, this situation is related with the overlaping between these diagnoses more than the scales. I prefer to use something like this and search what is common between the two entities and what is specificity of them.

Hello Nese,

If you're going to measure general population, maybe as TRAIT anxiety and depression you can use NEO-FFI neuroticism subscales. Neuroticism in NEO-PI-R consists subscales of anxiety, depression, hostility, impulsivity, shyness and overreacting. This might be satisfactory from more conservative, academic point of view

Jorge Luis Méndez Ulrich

Have you tried the Anxiety-Neuroticism scale of the ZKPQ (Zuckerman-Kuhlman Peronality Questionnaire?

Michael Noll-Hussong

For clinical purposes I would consider the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - the German description can be found here:

Tarun Verma

Though trait depression is not a commonly accepted construct, one can use scales of Rumination to assess tendencies to feel depressed. Ruminative thinking patterns are more persistent and pervasive, and are generally the focus of treatment. Current research is focusing a lot in this area, and this "trait" of rumination can be a viable measure of "trait depression".

Yaakov Hoffman

I agree with Michael the HADS could be good

or the BSI.
