The diagnostic efficiency of the trait version of the Depression Adjective Check Lists (DACL) was studied in a two‐phase investigation that involved two psychiatric patient samples ( N = 308 and N = 67). Cutting scores developed on the first sample were cross‐validated successfully on the second sample. In addition, the DACL compared favorably in diagnostic efficiency with the Beck Depression Inventory, the MMPI‐D scale, and a Self‐rating Depression scale.
