SDES
Deutsche Version der Short Defeat and Entrapment Scale
Short abstract
The SDES is aimed to measure two constructs, Defeat and Entrapment, with 4 items each. It was constructed from the English short version and with the help of the separately developed translations of both scales. Reliability: The internal consistencies according to Cronbach's alpha were between alpha = .85 and alpha = .88 for the Defeat scale and between alpha = .65 and alpha = .83 for the Entrapment scale. Validity: The factorial and convergent validity could be demonstrated. In addition, significant differences in mean scores were achieved between non-suicidal persons at risk and respondents at different stages of suicidality.
