OBJECTIVES
To test the construct validity of the short-form version of the Depression anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21), and in particular, to assess whether stress as indexed by this measure is synonymous with negative affectivity (NA) or whether it represents a related, but distinct, construct. To provide normative data for the general adult population.
DESIGN
Cross-sectional, correlational and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
METHODS
The DASS-21 was administered to a non-clinical…

Issues addressed include the desirability of moderate rather than maximum test-retest and item homogeneity/internal consistency estimates, and the need for multivariate measures instead of the single-scale instruments so often employed to measure depression in isolation from interacting emotions such as anxiety or stress.
