Girls completed the 10-item form of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI-S; Kovacs, 1985). This widely-used self-report instrument has been found in several investigations to be a valid and reliable measure of depressive symptoms in 8- to 17-year-old children. Girls indicated which of a series of statements best described how they have been feeling recently. Internal consistency for the CDI-S was α = .76.
