TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - The concepts of depression, anxiety, and neuroticism in questionnaires JO - European journal of personality A1 - Luteijn, Frans A1 - Bouman, Theo K. SP - 113 EP - 120 VL - 2 IS - 2 N2 - In this study, the relations among depression, anxiety, and neuroticism measured by self-report questionnaires were investigated. Subjects were 207 psychiatric patients. High correlations were found among self-report scales purporting to measure depression, anxiety, and neuroticism. Results of a content analysis showed considerable overlap among these scales. A division of items into six content categories did not result in lower correlations compared to the original scales.
