Maternal depressive symptoms, relationship satisfaction, and verbal behavior
Two studies applied a social-cognitive interpersonal process model to investigate mechanisms underlying the association of maternal depressive symptoms with maternal relationship satisfaction and maternal verbal behavior. Study 1 participants were 86 mothers of 6-12-year-old children with a history of ADHD. Study 2 participants were 81 mother-child dyads recruited from a children's inpatient unit and the surrounding community. Negative trait perc…
Partner Appraisal and Marital Satisfaction
This study examined whether people are more maritally satisfied when the valence of their partner's view of them is congruent with the valence of their self-view. In doing so, competing hypotheses derived from self-verification theory and self-esteem enhancement theory were examined. Married couples, recruited from the community and mental health facilities, completed measures of marital satisfaction, self-esteem, depression, and rated their spou…
Effect of actor depression on observer attributions
This experiment examined whether others explain the successes and failures of depressed versus nondepressed people differently and how these attributions are related to affective and behavioral reactions to a request for psychological help. Ss reported attributions about the success and failure experiences of hypothetical depressed and nondepressed people. Ss also responded to a hypothetical request for psychological help by indicating their attr…
Depression and Expectations of Satisfaction
12 participants in an adult education class titled “Coping with Depression” reported their expectations of satisfaction for planned pleasant events. Based upon a median split of Beck Depression Inventory scores, subjects were divided into depressed and nondepressed categories. Consistent with current psychosocial theories of depression, depressed subjects expected a significantly lower satisfaction from planned events than did nondepressed subjec…
Effect of depression level and length of acquaintance on reaction of others to a request for help
This experiment examined an interpersonal-process view of depression by assessing subjects' reactions to a request for help from a hypothetical depressed or nondepressed person with whom they had been acquainted for a relatively short (2 weeks) or long (1 year) period of time. Subjects responded to each of the four hypothetical persons by indicating their probable affective reactions to the request, the number of minutes they would be willing to …
Depression and self-reinforcement in a public and private setting
Three groups of subjects--depressed, nondepressed, and nondepressed pretreated with an insolvable-problems (failure) manipulation--were compared on self-reinforcement during a 22-trial skill task. Success rate was experimentally controlled, and all subjects received either an initially high rate of success followed by a low rate of success or an initially low rate of success followed by a high rate of success. Subjects responded in either a publi…
