Abstract

Abstract: The present study examined the psychometric and structural properties of the Persian version of the Occupational Depression Inventory (ODI). The ODI focuses on depressive symptoms that employed individuals specifically ascribe to their work. A sample of 355 Iranian schoolteachers was surveyed. Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) bifactor analysis indicated that the ODI meets the requirements for essential unidimensionality. ESEM bifactor analysis and scalability analysis supported the use of the ODI’s total score. The instrument exhibited high reliability. Cross-cultural measurement invariance was supported. As for the concurrent validity of the ODI, occupational depression correlated, in the expected direction, with job satisfaction, life satisfaction, well-being, work engagement, sick leave, and antidepressant intake. No association was observed with sex, age, length of employment, and a history of depressive disorders over the past year. The ODI displayed a balance of convergent and discriminant validity vis-a-vis an attribution-free measure of depressive symptoms. The prevalence of occupational depression was estimated at 2.8% in our sample. Our findings endorse the Persian version of the ODI and confirm the instrument’s overall robustness.

职业抑郁量表的波斯语验证

摘要：本研究考察了波斯语版职业抑郁量表（ODI）的心理测量和结构特性。职业抑郁量表主要针对就业者认为与工作有关的抑郁症状。我们对 355 名伊朗学校教师进行了抽样调查。探索性结构方程建模（ESEM）双因素分析表明，ODI 符合基本单维的要求。ESEM 双因素分析和可伸缩性分析支持使用 ODI 总分。该工具表现出较高的可靠性。跨文化测量不变性也得到了支持。至于 ODI 的并发效度，职业抑郁与工作满意度、生活满意度、幸福感、工作参与度、病假和抗抑郁药物摄入量之间存在预期的相关性。与性别、年龄、工作年限和过去一年的抑郁症病史均无关联。与抑郁症状的无归因测量相比，职业抑郁指数显示出了收敛性和判别性的平衡。在我们的样本中，职业抑郁症的患病率估计为 2.8%。我们的研究结果认可了波斯语版的 ODI，并证实了该工具的整体稳健性。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
