  • Self-silencing mediates the link between marital conflict and depression

    Open AccessValerie E Whiffen, Meredith L Foot et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2007Cited by: 12References: 32

    The Silencing the Self model of depression (Jack, 1991) proposes that women are at risk for depression when they suppress their true thoughts and feelings to avoid conflict. Using a community sample of 115 couples, the present study investigated whether self-silencing mediates the relationship between marital conflict and depressive symptoms. Results indicated that both men and women who perceived their marriages as conflicted tended to hide thei…

  • Does Self-Silencing Link Perceptions of Care from Parents and Partners with Depressive Symptoms

    Open AccessJanice M Thompson, Janice Thompson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2001Cited by: 13References: 31

    Silencing the self is a theory of women's depression that proposes that depression results from women being inauthentic in key relationships. In this study, we linked this theory to a substantial empirical literature indicating that adult depression is associated both with perceptions that parents were rejecting during childhood, and with perceptions that the current romantic partner is critical. We hypothesized that rejecting childhood relations…

  • Sex Differences in Self-Silencing

    Open AccessLinda Duarte, Linda M Duarte et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1999

    The construct of self-silencing was proposed to account for women's greater vulnerability to developing depression. This study of 1,117 students (795 women and 322 men) explored possible explanations for the empirical finding that men self-silence to the same or greater extent than women. Analysis showed that men reported more self-silencing than women. A factor analysis confirmed the subscale structure of the Silencing the Self Scale for women a…

  • Between Scientism and Relativism: Phenomenology, Hermeneutics and the New Realism in Psychology

    Open AccessJack Martins, Jack Martin et al.ARTICLETheory & Psychology1997

    Because of the contextual, agentically controlled, uncertain and morally constituted nature of psychological phenomena, psychological inquiry is vulnerable to charges of scientism and relativism. These characteristics of the subject-matter of psychology and the challenges they pose for psychological inquiry are elaborated. Three approaches to conceptualizing psychological studies that might avoid these difficulties are discussed and examined crit…

    The influence of three gender role related variables-instrumentality, silencing-the-self and ruminating-on depressive symptomatology among 73 adolescents with a mean age of 14.5 years was examined for this study. Girls reported more symptomatology and ruminating than did boys. Girls had higher scores on one facet of silencing-the-self externalized self-perception, than did boys. Positive correlations were found between symptomatology and both rum…

  • Silencing The Self: Depressive Symptomatology and Close Relationships

    Open AccessJanice M Thompson, Janice ThompsonARTICLEPsychology of Women Quarterly1995Cited by: 22References: 7

    Silencing the self theory (Jack, 1991) holds that women's depression is closely related to experiences in close relationships, especially if women conform with societal norms for feminine relationship roles. In conforming, Jack believes that women develop relationship schema that heighten vulnerability to loss of self-esteem and depressive symptomatology. An exploratory study addressed relationships among self-report measures of silencing the sel…

  • Depressive Symptoms, Sex and Perceptions of Intimate Relationships

    Open AccessJanice M Thompson, Janice Thompson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…1995Cited by: 6References: 34

    Empirical evidence indicates that depression in one partner is negatively associated with marital variables, and suggests that the marital relationship may be critical to the course and outcome of the depressive episode. Two exploratory studies of intimate relationships addressed: (a) gender differences in dysphoric individuals' perceptions of themselves and their intimate partners, and (b) whether depressive symptomatology had differential effec…
