The attitudes to ageing questionnaire (AAQ)
The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS)
In the first study, a combined sample of mature students, depressed and formerly depressed patients, and the patients first degree relatives completed either Form A or Form B of the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS). Factor analysis of the two sets of data suggest that, contrary to the original proposals, the two versions of the DAS are not equivalent when a wide range of respondents are sampled. A second study presents preliminary information a…
Causal beliefs about depression in depressed patients, clinical psychologists and lay persons
Non‐depressed lay persons have been shown to have extensive and accurate knowledge about depression (Rippere, 1977, 1980 a, b , 1981 a ) that is underpinned by a structure that resembles current academic theories of the disorder (Furnham & Kuyken, 1991). In this study a semi‐structured interview schedule and a number of rating scales were used to determine and compare the nature and extent of depressed patients', clinical psychologists', and lay …
The pursuit of stability
A questionnaire designed to assess roles and goals
Social‐cognitive theories of depression predict that an individual is at more risk of becoming depressed if the individual's only dominant role or goal is disrupted by a life‐event. This paper reports the development of an instrument which assesses the individual's important roles and goals; preliminary data are presented from two samples (sample 1 of elderly people, sample 2 of younger adults) taken from the age‐sex registers of GP practices. Th…

The Selection of Patients for Group Therapy
Patients are selected for group therapy primarily on the basis of therapists' clinical judgements. Although a number of clinicians have attempted to specify what these judgements might be, a brief survey of these accounts shows little agreement apart from the proposal that appropriate patients should have interpersonal difficulties. Most clinicians appear to select patients on the basis of whether they are suitable for the type of therapy on offe…

"Are There Cognitive Rhythms in Speech?" — a Reply To Beattie (1984)
Beattie (1984) has criticized a previous study by Power (1983) which failed to find evidence for cognitive rhythms in a large sample of speech. Beattie's main criticisms were based on the contention that monologue speech and speech produced with an additional cognitive load were highly unnatural and that only speech produced in natural conversations will display such rhythms. In contrast, it is argued that monologue speech and speech produced wit…
Are There Cognitive Rhythms in Speech
Two studies are presented which investigated whether spontaneous speech is characterized by the presence of a cognitive rhythm that consists of alternating phases of hesitancy and fluency. In the first study, cumulative phonation-silence graphs were generated from the tape recordings of 54 one-minute monologues. These phonation-silence graphs were presented to two judges who were asked to rate the graphs for the presence or absence of cognitive r…

The effects of neighbourhood, school and family factors upon juveniles before the courts
Rates for juveniles before the courts have nearly doubled in a decade in England and Wales. Data from an epidemiological study of all the children in one com- munity who make court appearances have been collected over nine years. Enumeration district delin- quency rates for first court appearances by boys show wide and consistent differences over seven years. Similarly, such first appearance rates for schools show wide and consistent differences.…
