AB - The conception of depression in Chinese American college students wasexamined with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale(CES-D). It was hypothesized that, because oftheir significant engagement with mainstream American culture, thesestudents' conception of depression would better approximate WhiteAmericans' differentiated view(L. Radloff, 1977) than the general Chinese American community's integratedview (Y. Ying, 1988). A total of 353bicultural Chinese American college students participated in thestudy. Consistent with the hypothesis,principal-components factor analysis with varimax rotation revealed afactor structure and loading similar to that found in White Americanadults. Confirmatory factor analysis also showed Chinese Americancollege students to better approximate Radloff's differentiated modelbased on her White American samples than Ying's integrated model basedon her Chinese American community sample. Implications of the findingsand directions for future research are discussed.
