The BSI-18 is the latest and shortest of the multidimensional versions of the Symptom-Checklist 90-R, but its psychometric properties have not been sufficiently clarified yet.METHODS: Based on a representative sample of N = 2516 participants (aged 14-94 years), detailed psychometric analyses were carried out.RESULTS: The internal consistency was good: Somatization α = .82, Depression α = .87, Anxiety α = .84 and GSI α = .93. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three scales as second-order and GSI as first-order factors. The model fit based on RMSEA is good but that model fit based on CFI and TLI are too low.CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, it is a very short, reliable instrument for the assessment of psychological distress.
