The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between self-reported depressive symptoms, intelligence, and academic achievement. The sample consisted of 635 school children (304 boys and 331 girls) aged 9-11 years. The variables were assessed using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), and the grade point average. The data indicate that depressive symptoms are related to academic achievement, in boys also to intelligence. The relationship between depressive symptoms and school grades reached statistical significance in both sexes. In boys, the CDI total scores were associated with full-scale and verbal IQ. Academic achievement was significantly related to full-scale, verbal, and performance IQ in both boys and girls. No gender differences in depressive symptoms or academic achievement were found. Significant gender differences in favor of boys emerged in full-scale and performance IQ.

We analyzed associations between school achievement operationalized as grade point average (GPA) and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) factor structure in three different factor models. The sample consisted of 587 Prague school children (276 boys and 311 girls) aged 9-11 years (average age 10.01). The results were consistent in all the models studied. Analyses were conducted separately for girls and boys. The obtained outcomes were similar for both genders. A significant correlation between GPA and total CDI score appeared. Detailed analyses revealed a factor with a markedly closer and more consistent relationship to GPA than other factors had. This factor comprised items directly linked with perception of school achievement. If the score of this factor was subtracted from the total CDI score, the correlation between the latter variable and GPA decreased, but stayed significant. Our findings suggest that the CDI contains a factor strongly related to GPA that should be controlled when studying the relationship of the total CDI score to GPA.
