In this study the psychometric properties of State-Trait Depression Inventory (STDI) were analyzed in a sample of adults from metropolitan Lima, to obtain validity evidences that support its use both in the consulting and non-consulting population. Acceptable indicators of reliability were found through a method of internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), as well as content validity evidence, factorial validity and of criteria validity. Therefore, the STDI is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate the affective component of depression.

This research had as purpose to establish a relationship between metalinguistic abilities and memory in students of first and second grade in Metropolitan Lima. A sample of 164 children were assessed, between first and second grades of primary school, both of sexes, whose ages ranged between 6 and 7 years olds, who applied the Metalinguistic Abilities Test by Gomez, Valero, Buades and Perez (adapted to our reality by Panca, 2000) and Digit Span Subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC III). The results showed a correlation between metalinguistic abilities and memory of children. A positive correlation was found between syllable segmentation, syllable deletion, rhyme detection, join the phonemes and phoneme counting with retention of digits in forward order, and negative correlation between syllable addition and retention of digits in progressive order. Also it was fo...
