AB - A factor analysis of the Beck Inventory of Depression, based on the responses of 254 significantly depressed hospital patients, has yielded 3 interpretable factors. The largest factor was that of affective depression referred to here as a factor of "guilty depression." The 2 remaining factors were interpreted as "retarded depression" and "somatic disturbance." These 3 factors showed some correspondence to the factors found by other investigators. The suggestion is made that the etiology of various depressed states may be associated with different levels of mental functioning. The need for additional factor analytic studies, which include behavioral and physiological measures, is noted.
