Summary

Depression may be influenced by age differences. Other studies showed no relationship between age and depression so one should expect no relationship between the two in further studies. Data was obtained from 41 college students in order to determine relationships between the profile of Mood States (POMS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Life Change Inventory (LCI). Within the administration of the POMS, only the Profile of Mood States for Depression (POMSD) was used for this study. The POMSD did not show a correlation with age (p>.05), and the BDI showed no relationship to age (p>.05). Although no correlations were found, considering other reasons for the results are important. Because of problems in construct validity, the results are nonsignificant.
