Abstract
In a community sample of 402 respondents, the authors examined the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale (BADS; Kanter, Mulick, Busch, Berlin, & Martell, 2006). Results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the original 4-factor structure, providing the following subscales: Activation, Avoidance/Rumination, Work/School Impairment, and Social Impairment. All subscales showed adequate internal consistency, evidence of convergent validity with concurrent measures of depressive symptoms, rumination, psychological flexibility, and avoidance behavior, and evidence of differential validity between currently, formerly, and never depressed respondents.
