The purpose of this study is to assess the factor structure model and normative data of the Depression Self-Rating Scale for Children (DSRS). The study involved 2383 junior high-school students (1245 males and 1138 females). The four factor models (one-factor, two-factor, three-factor, and four-factor structures) were compared and tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The results revealed that the model proposing two factors had the highest fit index. This result was consistent with the result of a previous study on elementary school students. Analysis of DSRS scores indicated that the female students scored higher than the male students, and that the scores increased with an increase in age. These findings are quite consistent with those of previous studies.

We investigated how the costs and benefits of telling a lie affect a person who is lying in an attempt to avoid punishment. One hundred and sixty-eight college students were asked to read three scenarios in which the protagonist gave an excuse for arriving late to an appointment. Excuses given for arriving late were: an incredible lie (a lie invoking an unlikely event as an excuse), a credible lie (a lie invoking a plausible event as an excuse), and the truth. Participants then rated the perceived degree of benefit (forgiveness and impression) and the behavioral and emotional costs associated with each excuse, and finally chose the “best” excuse for avoiding punishment. The incredible lie was ranked highest in terms of costs and benefits, the credible lie received moderate ranking, and the truth received the lowest ranking. Participants tended to choose the credible lie, ranked moderately in terms of costs and benefits, as the “best” excuse. The results suggest that people do not act to maximize benefit but rather to avoid high cost when making an excuse to avoid punishment.
