Participants completed the 119-item Young Adult Self-Report for ages 18-30 (YASR; Achenbach, 1997) as part of their 23 year and 26 year assessments, and they completed the 126-item Adult Self-Report (ASR; Achenbach, 2003) as part of their 32 year assessment. Participants rated themselves, their feelings, and their behavior during the past six months on a 3-point scale (0-2). Scores on the anxious-depressed subscale were used in the present analyses. According to the Achenbach manuals (1997, 2003), scores on the anxious-depressed subscale discriminate between clinically referred and non-referred samples, and they are highly and positively correlated with scores on both the depression scale from the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (Derogatis, 1977; 1994) and the depression scale from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989). One, five, and four participants scored in the borderline clinical range (T-scores of 65-69) at ages 23, 26, and 32, respectively. No participants scored in the clinical range (T > 70) at ages 23 and 26, but one participant did at age 32.
