  • Title: Seasonal mood patterns in a northeastern college sample.
    Author: Rohan KJ, Sigmon ST.
    Journal: J Affect Disord; 2000 Aug; 59(2):85-96. PubMed ID: 10837877.
    Abstract:
    Given that seasonality can be conceptualized along a developmental continuum, it is surprising that the college population has been largely excluded from previous epidemiological research on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). In this study, college students completed the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ) and Beck Depression Inventory twice during either the Fall or Spring academic semester. SAD prevalence rates were similar to those of nearby adult samples. The SPAQ demonstrated high test-retest reliability when administered during different seasons; however, gender differences only emerged during winter SPAQ administrations.
