✦ Synopsis

The Reasons For Depression Questionnaire (RFD) was developed to examine the explanations that people give for being depressed. In its original form it was evaluated with samples of non-depressed and depressed university students and other adults. The data reported here were used to evaluate the use of the RFD with a community sample of New Zealand adolescents. While the underlying eight-factor structure reported by the original authors was confirmed, with the addition of a ninth biological factor, additional principal component-factor analysis supported the existence of a six-factor solution for adolescents. The revised factor structure incorporated a revision of the scale's item content. It is proposed that an abbreviated scale (RFD-A) using 35 of the original 48 items would be more appropriate for use with adolescents.
