Abstract:	The Chinese Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was administered to 1154 Chinese college students. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to examine the dimensions of the Chinese BDI-II and produced a twofactor solution representing cognitive-affective and somatic dimensions whose factor compositions were comparable to those previously reported with college students in North America. The data were also analyzed for sex differences in the factor structure. The results showed that the two-factor solution representing cognitive-affective and somatic dimensions was present in both sexes. These fmdings generally suggest that the Chinese BDI-II possesses acceptable reliability and the factor analytic data tend to support Beck, Steer, and Brown's (1996) two-dimensional view of depression as a construct.
