the BDI, which contains 21 items with a possible score range from 0 to 63, includes the risk of developing different interpretations of test scores depending on the rater. Bumberry et al. (1978) addressed this issue by calculating a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between primary (i.e. structured interview used for over 2 decades) and secondary raters (i.e. board certified psychiatrists with 9 and 4 years of experience). Researchers found that inter-rater reliability between the…

The purpose of this study was to see if there is a positive correlation between self-esteem and social inclusion by measuring self-esteem and friendships.…

The study was approved by the Victoria University ethics…
