When Depression Breeds Rejection Rather Than Compassion
Past research has shown that the close relationships of depressed individuals are often characterised by rejection rather than compassion. The goal of this research was to broaden interpersonal models of depression by investigating the reports of support providers themselves. Individual differences, including disagreeableness, stigmatic beliefs about depression, and empathic concern were measured. These were examined in relation to reported inter…
The benefits of self-compassion and optimism exercises for individuals vulnerable to depression
The effectiveness of two online exercises intended to help individuals experience (1) self-compassion (n = 63) and (2) optimism (n = 55) were compared to a control intervention where participants wrote about an early memory (n = 70). A battery of tests was completed at 1 week following the exercise period, and at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-ups. Both active interventions resulted in significant increases in happiness observable at 6 months and sig…
Investing in the Personality Vulnerability Research Program--Current Dividends and Future Growth
The authors do not see any benefit to J. C. Coyne, R. Thompson, and V. Whiffen’s (2004) proposal todraw sharp boundaries between psychodynamic vulnerability theories, research on the onset of syndro-mal depression, and research with vulnerable, nondepressed populations. These domains have been andremain mutually relevant. Coyne et al. did not bring forward new evidence concerning the 6 issuesaddressed by D. C. Zuroff, M. Mongrain, and D. A. Santo…
Conceptualizing and Measuring Personality Vulnerability to Depression
J. C. Coyne and V. E. Whiffen (1995) reviewed research on personality vulnerability to depression, focusing on S. J. Blatt's (1974, 1990) concepts of dependency and self-criticism and A. T. Beck's (1983) concepts of sociotropy and autonomy. The authors discuss 6 issues raised in that review: (a) the typological or dimensional nature of vulnerability, (b) the theoretical implications of "mixed" vulnerability, (c) the relations of vulnerability to …
Parental Representations and Support‐Seeking Behaviors Related to Dependency and Self‐Criticism
Cognitive and interpersonal models of depression were integrated by examining the links between parental representations and the interpersonal behaviors of individuals at risk for depression. Study 1 assessed the quantity and type of social support associated with Dependency and Self‐Criticism. Study 2 examined the parental representations related to these personality styles, in an effort to document cognitive variables that might contribute to i…
Perceptual biases, affect, and behavior in the relationships of dependents and self-critics
Aspects of interpersonal, personality, and cognitive models of depression were tested in a college sample. The perceptions and actual interpersonal behaviors of dependent and self-critical women and their romantic partners were assessed during a conflict-resolution task. Dependent women were characterized by positive biases in the perception of lovingness expressed within the relationship. The partners of dependent women, however, experienced a d…
