Abstract

Validated the General Behavior Inventory (GBI), revised to identify unipolar as well asbipolar affective conditions, in a nonclinical sample (n = 201) against naive,interview-derived diagnoses. For bipolar and unipolar conditions, respectively, the GBI hadhigh positive (.94, .87) and negative (.99, .93) predictive power with the effect of prevalenceconsidered, adequate sensitivity (.78, .76), high specificity (.99, .99), and adequateselection ratios for sampling of affective and nonaffective subjects from nonclinicalpopulations for research purposes. The utility of the GBI in several different researchcontexts is discussed.
