The hypothesis that it is the variability of a person's identity--as opposed to the particular combinations of identities--that produces stress during the acculturation process was examined. Two hundred ninety-five native Anglophone students at the University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, provided demographic data and completed the following measures: the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck & Beck, 1...

To ascertain the dimensions of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996) in clinically depressed outpatients, exploratory factor analyses were performed with the BDI-II responses of 210 adult (> or =18 years) outpatients who were diagnosed with DSM-IV depressive disorders. Two factors representing Somatic-Affective and Cognitive dimensions were found whose compositio...

Despite the popularity of the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., i@6i), only Salkind (i@6g) has attempted to validate this instrument for a general practice population. For some purposes, particularly clinical research, measurement of change in a depressive mood is more important than an absolute measure. So far only Little and McPhail (i@@@) have considered this aspect of use. As part of ...

In this article we introduce (combinatorial) multi{color discrepancy and generalize some classical results from 2{color discrepancy theory to c colors. We give a recursive method that constructs c{colorings from approximations to the 2{color discrepancy. This method works for a large class of theorems like the six{standard{deviation theorem of Spencer, the Beck{Fiala theorem and the results of ...

BACKGROUND Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is frequently associated with psychiatric comorbidities. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine if depressive symptoms were present in CSU patients who received omalizumab and depression scores got better treatment whether the presence of impaired responses. METHODS at least three injections included study. Changes Urticaria Activity Score (UAS), Quality ...
