Depressed individuals currently view themselves negatively but perceive their general self-concept as balanced. This challenges the idea of a predominantly negative self-schema in depression.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Previous research suggests a negative self-schema in depression, evidenced by recall biases.
  • This negative self-schema is thought to comprise predominantly negative self-referent information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the subjective self-perceptions of individuals experiencing depression.
  • To examine whether depressed individuals possess a predominantly negative self-schema.

Main Methods:

  • Depressed patients and control participants rated positive and negative adjectives based on their applicability.
  • Ratings were collected for current self-perception, self-perception over the past week, and general self-perception.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Depressed individuals differentiated between current and general self-perception questions.
  • While currently describing themselves negatively, depressed participants reported their general self-concept as balanced, with equal positive and negative elements.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest that depression may not be characterized by a uniformly negative self-schema.
  • Depression's impact on self-perception might be more nuanced, affecting current self-views more than enduring self-concepts.
