In cases where different cutoff scores were recommended for males and females (e.g., the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), we chose the higher cutoff score in order to be more conservative. The cutoff scores utilized were as follows: Beck Anxiety Inventory: 10 (Beck & Steer, 1990); Beck Depression Inventory: 10 (Beck, Steer, & Garbin, 1988; Kendall, Hollon, Beck, Hammen, & Ingram, 1987); Beck Depression Inventory-II: 14 (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996); Beck Depression Inventory- Short Form: 5 (Beck & Beck, 1972); Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale: 16 (Boyd, Weissman, Thompson, & Meyer, 1977; Radloff, 1991); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale: 8 for each subscale (Zigmond & Snaith, 1983); Profile of Mood States- Anxiety subscale: 16 (Higginson, Fields, Koller, & Tröster, 2001); Profile of Mood States- Depression subscale: 14 (Griffith et al., 2005); Symptom Checklist 90- Revised- Anxiety subscale: 0.75 (Schmitz, Hartkamp, & Frake, 2000); Symptom Checklist 90- Revised- Depression subscale: 0.73 (Schmitz et al., 2000); State-Trait Anxiety Inventory: 40 for each subscale (Leong, Farrell, Helme, & Gibson, 2007).
