We examined the psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory‐Second Edition (BDI‐II) [Beck et al., 1996, San Antonio: The Psychological Corporation]. Four hundred fourteen undergraduate students at two public universities participated. A confirmatory factor analysis supported the BDI‐II two‐factor structure measuring cognitive‐affective and somatic depressive symptoms. In addition, the internal consistency was high and the concurrent validity of the BDI‐II was supported by positive correlations with self‐report measures of depression and anxiety. These findings replicate prior research supporting the validity and reliability of the BDI‐II in a college sample. Depression and Anxiety 19:187–189, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

• Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence: Prevalence, Risk, and Resiliency in Undergraduate Students (2020, methodology): “The BDI-II demonstrates strong internal consistency measured in this study at a = .95, and was previously measured between a = .90 (Storch, Roberti, & Roth, 2004) and a = .91 (Beck et al., 1996).”
• Results of a Study to Increase Savoring the Moment: Differential Impact on Positive and Negative Outcomes (2012, result): “It should be noted that mean values of the BDI-II for both the intervention group and control group were similar to values found in non-clinical samples of university students (i.e., M = 8.5, SD = 8.3 from Aldea et al. 2009 and M = 11.03, SD = 8.17 from Storch et al. 2004 ).”
• Self-Objectification, Disordered Eating, and Depression (2011, methodology): “The BDI-II has also been used extensively with nonclinical college student populations (Steer & Clark, 1997; Storch et al., 2004).”
