| Abstract: | To investigate the common and specific dimensions of anxiety and depression in adolescents, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI;
Beck, A. T., & Steer, R. A. Manual for the Beck Anxiety Inventory. San Antonio, TX: Psychological Corporation 1993a) and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II; Beck, A. T., Steer, R. A., &
Brown, G. K. Manual for Beck Depression Inventory (2nd Ed.). San Antonio, TX: Psychological Corporation 1996) were administered to 840 adolescent (13–17 years old) outpatients
who were diagnosed with various types of psychiatric disorders. A Schmid-Leiman transformation was used with the iterated-principal-factor
pattern matrix of the BAI and the BDI-II loadings. The amounts of orthogonalized common variance that were explained by the
one second-order (56%), one first-order depression (22%), and two first-order anxiety (22%) dimensions were comparable to
those previously reported for adult psychiatric outpatients. The results were discussed as supporting the construct of negative
affectivity that is proposed in L. A. Clark and Watson’s (1991) tripartite model of anxiety and depression.
