This study found that both dependency and self-criticism in depression are linked to attributing negative events to internal and global causes. However, these depressive experiences did not influence attributions for positive outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychopathology

Background:

  • Dependency and self-criticism are considered distinct facets of depressive experiences.
  • Understanding their unique associations with cognitive styles is crucial for depression research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between dependency, self-criticism, and attributional style in depression.
  • To determine if these depressive experiences are associated with specific ways of explaining negative and positive outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • The study examined the association between dependency and self-criticism.
  • Participants' attributional styles for hypothetical negative and positive outcomes were assessed.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Both dependency and self-criticism were significantly associated with internal and global attributions for negative hypothetical outcomes.
  • Neither dependency nor self-criticism showed a relationship with attributions for positive hypothetical outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Dependency and self-criticism, while distinct, share a common link to a negative attributional bias in depression.
  • This suggests a shared cognitive vulnerability in these depressive experiences, particularly concerning the explanation of negative events.
