Hi folks. I wonder if anyone is aware of any evidence indicating that the
act of taking a questionnaire or survey (e.g., the Beck Depression
Inventory) can lead the individual to experience the very phenomena that
the questionnaire is attempting to tap (e.g., depressive thoughts,
possibly suicidal ideation). It seems to me that evidence from the
priming literature makes the above situation a likely scenario. If
so, then such situations raise some interesting risk/benefit implications
regarding the use of these questionnaires in certain patient/student
populations. Any thoughts?
TIA
Miguel
