The goal of the present study is to reexamine whether the latent structure of depression is dimensional or categorical.Participants comprises 129 undergraduates (76 male and 53 female). The participants completed the Japanese version of the self-rated depression scale. The results, using the latent class model, suggest that: (1) the latent structure of depression is categorical (extracting the four latent classes) and (2) differences in each category are the degree of the depression's symptoms.
