Comments on R. Nolan and V. L. Willson's (1994) study in which they reported that male and female undergraduates obtained different mean scores only on Items 13 and 17 of the Beck Depression Inventory. In samples of 208 Kuwait and 144 American students (aged 18-23 yrs), the current study found mean differences between men and women on Items 14 and 19 of the Beck Depression Inventory. Thus, the results of Nolan and Willson were not replicated
