Factor Structure of the Depression-Proneness Rating Scale
Keyword(s):
The Zemore Depression-Proneness Rating Scale was administered to 208 university students. A principal components analysis with varimax rotation identified three factors representing Negative Self-attitude, Performance Difficulty, and Lack of Appetite. Some similarity between the present factors and those of the Beck Depression Inventory was discussed. Because the scale overemphasizes cognitive components, attention to items on the somatic aspects of depression was suggested. However, it should be noted that depression-proneness appears to be the feature of Zemore's scale that sets it apart from other depression scales.
