Depression-Related Mood and Cognition Self-Assessment | A Depression Testing Tool Based on Cognitive Theory

I. Theoretical Basis of This Questionnaire

This questionnaire is designed based on the core theories of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly the cognitive theory framework proposed by Aaron T. Beck. This theory suggests that depressive states are often closely related to negative cognitive patterns individuals develop regarding themselves, the world around them, and the future. By assessing these cognitive patterns, individuals can better understand their emotional state and thinking tendencies.

This questionnaire covers the following three core cognitive dimensions:

  • View of Self: Self-evaluation, sense of worth, feelings of guilt, etc.
  • View of the World: Interpersonal feelings, environmental adaptation, perception of support, etc.
  • View of the Future: Sense of hope, optimism, sense of purpose, etc.

II. Purpose of This Questionnaire

This questionnaire aims to help you:

  • Understand recent emotional states and thinking patterns
  • Identify cognitive characteristics that may be related to depression
  • Provide reference direction for self-awareness and psychological adjustment
  • Increase awareness of depression-related psychological states

Please note: This questionnaire is a mental health self-assessment tool. Results are for reference only and cannot replace professional medical diagnosis.

III. Questionnaire Content and Scoring Method

This questionnaire contains 13 questions. Each question describes an emotional, thinking, or behavioral state. Please answer based on your actual feelings over the past two weeks. Each question has 4 options, corresponding to scores of 0-3:

  • 0 points: Not at all or rarely
  • 1 point: Some of the time
  • 2 points: A good part of the time
  • 3 points: Most or all of the time

After completing the test, the system will provide a result evaluation (0-39 points) based on your total score, divided into four levels: No Depressive Symptoms (≤4 points), Mild Depressive Symptoms (5-7 points), Moderate Depressive Symptoms (8-15 points), Severe Depressive Symptoms (≥16 points). Each level provides corresponding symptom descriptions and intervention suggestions.

IV. Applicable Population and Precautions

This questionnaire is suitable for:

  • Adolescents and adults who wish to understand their emotional state (recommended ages 12 and above)
  • General public concerned about mental health
  • An auxiliary tool in the process of psychological growth and self-exploration

Precautions: This questionnaire is an educational and educational popular science tool independently developed based on publicly available psychological theories and is not a standardized diagnostic scale. If you experience persistent emotional distress, significant impairment in daily functioning, or have thoughts of self-harm/suicide, please immediately seek help from a professional psychologist or psychiatrist.

V. Limitations

  • Non-diagnostic tool: Results only reflect recent subjective feelings and cannot serve as a basis for diagnosing depression
  • Self-assessment bias: Influenced by individual self-awareness ability and honesty in answering
  • Cultural adaptability: Different cultural backgrounds may have different understandings of emotions and behaviors
  • Theoretical derivation: This questionnaire is a theoretical re-creation and is not a reproduction or adaptation of any commercial scale
