Summary
Depression is a mood disorder that is mainly characterized by a sad mood or the loss of in terest and pleasure in most activities in a period of at least two weeks (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). To decrease the onset of depression disorders, early psychological interventions, i.e., psychological methods targeting behavioral change to reduce limitations or problems (Vingerhoets, Kop, & Soons, 2002), aiming at adults with depression symptoms or mild depression disorders are necessary. Depression severity is mostly measured by self-report questionnaires such as the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D; Radloff, 1977), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D; Hamilton, 1960), and the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996). These self-report questionnaires often include items on mood and feelings. Questionnaire items may cover physical depression symptoms such as sleep disturbances, changes in weight
