Abstract:
Eight subscales based on items drawn from the original 100-item Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (Weissman & Beck, 1978) were developed as potential markers of specific cognitive vulnerabilities (Beck, 1987). Six of the eight subscales were correlated with both depression and anxiety symptom measures, indicating that the 'vulnerabilities' represented by these subscales are unlikely to be specific to depression.
