Abstract
A depression scale scored through the content analysis of verbal samples is described. A classification is provided of the type of content analysis used in the development of this scale. The rationale for various mathematical transformations used in deriving the scores is given. The construct of depression is discussed, and measurement problems occurring in its assessment are outlined. The content analysis approach to measurement of psychological and behavioral dimensions is seen as a combination of self-report and independent observer rating scale methods. The place of normative scores with such measurement tools is explained. Reliability of scoring and construct validation data using the depression scale are presented.

Suicidal patients, and in particular those who used violent methods, tended to have lower 5-HIAA, but not HVA, in their CSF; they also more often had non-suppression of cortisol after dexamethasone, and neither suicide nor postdexamethAsone cortisol levels showed any relation to maximal TSH changes.

Developing objective measures of an individual's emotional level or psychological state at any particular time would be of great value in assessing changes in level and lability of emotional response in reaction to psychoactive drugs or psychotherapy, and in determining the relationship of psychological to physiological or biochemical responses in an individual.

A method for measuring both labile emotional and more permanent psychological events through content analysis of verbal behavior has been developed by Gottschalk and Gleser, and provides an interesting challenge for “artificial intelligence,” the study of thought and action in forms that can be expressed in computer programs.

An informal survey by us showed that the definition of REM latency is relatively idiosyncratic, and it is suggested that the reliability and validity of the available measures would provide an empirical basis for selection.
