Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate differences between two groups in relation to level of hopelessness, perceived social support, size of social networks and social relationships, in particular marital relationships. The investigator was interested in how an individual’s functioning may impact on his or her social relationships and the effect of marital status on levels of depression and hopelessness. A cross-sectional between groups design was utilised. Older people with a diagnosis of depression (aged 65 and over) were compared to a community control group of older people (aged 65 and over) who were not depressed. All participants completed questionnaires measuring mood, level of hopelessness, perceived social support and demographic variables such as marital status and size of social network. The main result was that older people who were depressed were satisfied with their level of social support. Group comparisons revealed that there was no difference in perceived social support despite older people who were not depressed having significantly larger social networks. However, higher levels of hopelessness were found in individuals who were not currently in a marital relationship. This finding has implications for clinicians working with older people with mental health difficulties. Interpreted using a life-span perspective, the results suggest that older people may adapt to the ageing process by focusing on social support from a smaller set of ties which includes family and close friends. This highlights the complexity and multifaceted nature of social relationships as people grow older, regardless of whether they have or have not mental health difficulties. The study showed that levels of hopelessness were present in participants who were not depressed and the importance of social relationships for well-being in later life.

Full textAbstract:
This study tested a structural model, examining the relationship between a latent variable
termed demoralization and measured variables (anxiety, depression and hopelessness) in
a community sample of Canadian youth. The combined sample consisted of data
collected from four independent studies from 2001 to 2005. Nine hundred and seventy
one (n=971) participants in each of the previous four studies were high school students
(grades 10-12) from three geographic locations: Calgary, Saskatchewan and Lethbridge.
Participants completed a battery of self-report questionnaires including the Beck Anxiety
Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory-Revised (BDI-II), Beck Hopelessness Scale
(BHS), and demographic survey. Structural equation modeling was used for statistical
analysis. The analysis revealed that the final model, including depression, anxiety and
hopelessness and one latent variable demoralization, fit the data (chi-square value, X2 (2)
=7.24, p<. 001, goodness of fit indices (CFI=0.99, NFI=0.98) and standardized error
(0.05). Overall, the findings suggest that close relationships exist among depression,
anxiety, hopelessness and demoralization. In addition, the model was stable across
demographic variables: sex, grade, and location. Further, the model explains the
relationship between sub-clinical anxiety, depression and hopelessness. These findings
contribute to a theoretical framework, which has implications with educational and
clinical interventions. The present findings will help guide further preventative research
in examining demoralization as a precursor to sub-clinical anxiety and depression.<br>xi, 127 leaves ; 29 cm.

Full textAbstract:
Homelessness among female veterans is a problem that is likely to increase as growing numbers of women in the United States military reestablish themselves into their communities as veterans. The purpose of this quantitavie quasi-experimental study was to determine whether there are differences in posttraumatic stress (PTSD), depression, and hopelessness in homeless versus nonhomeless female veterans who have experienced at least 1 U.S. military deployment. Four theories served as the basis for this research: the cognitive theory of depression, conditioning theory, ecological theory, and the hopelessness of depression theory. The data were collected from 88 female veterans who were deployed at least once. The variables were assessed using the Posttraumatic Checklist–Military Version posttraumatic stress disorder total score,theBeck Depression Inventory-II, total score and, the Beck Hopelessness Scale total score. The 1-way MANOVA findings indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between homeless and nonhomeless female veterans who experienced PTSD and depression but not hopelessness. This research will better serve the VA, clinicians, and communities to assist providing for the psychological and mental health needs required by these soldiers. The research findings may contribute to the provision of permanent and supportive housing for female veterans reintegrating back into civilian life.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between hopelessness and depression in a non-clinical sample of children (mean age = 10.75 years) was examined. A systematic comparison of three models of the role of hopelessness and global self-worth in childhood depression was conducted. The Children's Depression Inventory (Kovacs, 1983), the Self-Perception Profile for Students with Learning Disabilities (Renick & Harter, 1988), and the Hopelessness Scale for Children (Kazdin, French, Unis, Esveldt-Dawson, & Sherick, 1983) were administered. Results suggest that depressed children are hopeless but that hopeless children are not necessarily depressed; global self-worth and hopelessness are highly overlapping constructs; and no gender differences are present in childhood hopelessness. Results are interpreted with reference to the theoretical implications regarding the relative support of a new theory of depression and hopelessness, versus Greene's (1989) theory of the independence of hopelessness and depression as constructs, Beck's (1967) cognitive triad theory, and Haaga, Dyck, and Ernst's(1991) single dimension model of depression.

Full textAbstract:
The hopelessness theory of depression (Abramson et al. 1989) considers hopelessness to be a subtype of depression. A causal chain is proposed which starts with the perceived occurrence of a negative life event, at which point inferences can be made about (i) why the event occurred, (ii) its consequences and (iii) characteristics about the self. In particular, the hopelessness theory predicts that: (a) each cognitive diathesis will interact with subsequent stress to produce symptoms of hopelessness depression (diathesis x stress component); (b) each causal factor in the model still contribute to the next in a proximal direction (causal mediation component). This thesis presents four studies examining the main predictions of hopelessness theory. Studies 1 and 2 utilised student samples (n=100) and cross-sectional designs. In Study 1, the role of the three sets of inferences was examined using hypothetical events. Some support was found for both the diathesis x stress and the causal mediation components. In Study 2 inferences for real events were considered. The results provided minimal support for the diathesis x stress component, and no support for the causal mediation component. In Study 3, the main predictions were tested more fully using prospective measurement in a 5-week follow-up of students (n=100). The diathesis x stress component was not supported and the causal mediation component received only partial support. In Study 4 the utility of the hopelessness theory in predicting post-natal depression was examined among a sample of primiparous women (n=172). Measures were taken during the third trimester of pregnancy, and at 4 and 12 weeks postpartum. Little evidence was found to support the diathesis x stress component. However, considerable support was found for the causal mediation component. Overall, the four studies produced contradictory evidence for the hopelessness theory. Implications for future research on the hopelessness theory of depression are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research on symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has suggested clinically significant impairment is experienced below threshold for diagnosis. Recent studies have provided evidence that measures of hopelessness, negative affect, depression, and physical activity are independently related with increased PTSD symptoms and impairment. This constellation of variables has yet to be examined in a trauma-exposed population, so it is unknown whether these variables collectively predict significant impairment and PTSD. This study examined if: a) both clinical and subclinical symptoms of PTSD will be associated with significant impairment as measured by indices of hopelessness, negative affect, depression, and physical activity; b) measures of hopelessness, negative affect, depression, and physical activity will significantly contribute to the categorical diagnosis of Clinical PTSD in trauma-exposed populations; and c) Measures of hopelessness, negative affect, depression, and physical activity will significantly contribute to the categorical diagnosis of subclinical PTSD in trauma-exposed populations. Results indicate that the predictor variables are not associated with either of the outcome variables. The full model including hopelessness, negative affect, depression, and physical activity did not significantly contribute to the categorical diagnosis of clinical PTSD and subclinical PTSD in trauma-exposed populations. Limitations and further directions are explored in the discussion.

McGinnis, Todd Milton. "Hopelessness Depression as a Predictive Risk Factor for Recidivism and Survival Time Among Juvenile Offenders." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4464.
Full textAbstract:
In the United States, there is a high incidence of recidivism among juvenile offenders with mental health disorders. This is a critical social issue facing the public and the Department of Juvenile Justice Administration today. However, research is not clear on the role of psychological factors in recidivism frequency and survival time. The purpose of this study was to examine whether hopelessness depression, as measured by suicidal-ideation, depression-anxiety, anger-irritation, and alcohol-drug use, and offense type, were predictors of recidivism frequency and survival time when controlling for age, gender, and race. The total sample consisted of archival data from 404 juvenile offenders between the ages 13 and 19, who were detainees in the Juvenile Detention facility between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2012. Data consisted of scores from the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument, which is part of the standard intake screening at time of booking. A hierarchical regression analysis indicated a collective significant predictive relationship between age, gender, race, suicidal-ideation, depression-anxiety, anger-irritation, alcohol-drug-use, and recidivism frequency and survival time. Posthoc analyses of variance indicated statistically significant differences in alcohol-drug-use and anger-irritation levels between races. However, the multiple linear regression indicated that suicidal-ideation and depression-anxiety did not significantly predict either recidivism frequency or survival time. Results could enable juvenile justice staff to detect hopelessness depression among juvenile reoffenders at an earlier stage and offer better treatment aimed at reducing future occurrences of youth recidivism, thereby benefitting individuals as well as society.

Full textAbstract:
While mood disorders rank within the top ten disabilities worldwide, there has been limited research done on cognitive schemas and the role they play in the development of mood disorders in South Africa. Cognitive conceptualisations of depression typically emphasize the schema-based automatic processing of information. Beck (1967, 1976 & 1987) suggested that schematically driven automatic thinking is a key element in depressive disorders. Research in the field of depression has identified cognitive schemas as a factor which increases an individual’s diathesis to depression. The primary aim of this research is to explore and describe maladaptive cognitive schemas, hopelessness and levels of depression amongst individuals diagnosed with Unipolar Mood Disorder. A further aim of the research has been to explore the relationship between maladaptive cognitive schemas and hopelessness as a diathesis to depression. In order to achieve the objectives, data was collected from a sample of 50 inpatients diagnosed with Unipolar Mood Disorder. The following measures were used: Young’s Schema Questionnaire, Beck's Depression Inventory – 2nd edition and Beck’s Hopelessness Scale. The research is quantitative in nature and takes the form of an exploratory-descriptive study. Data has been analysed by means of descriptive statistics in order to identify the mean, ranges and standard deviation of the measures used. Cross-tabulations have been used to further explore the relationship between the variables mentioned above. It was found that a statistically significant correlation exists between the BDI, BHS and YSQ. Maladaptive cognitive schemas were found to have a strong positive correlation 4 to depression, whereas hopelessness was found to have a less significant role in Unipolar Mood Disorder. The most significant schemas found in relation to hopelessness, were the Social Isolation, Unrelenting Standards and Pessimism schemas. With regards to depression, the most significant schemas were found to be Mistrust, Practical Incompetence, Vulnerability, Subjugation, Self-Sacrifice, Emotional Inhibition, Unrelenting Standards, Entitlement, Insufficient Self-Control, Admiration, Pessimism and Self-Punitiveness. All the above mentioned variables proved to have a statistically significant relationship. The findings of this research study are for the most part consistent with the literature on depression, hopelessness and cognitive vulnerabilities, and all of the above mentioned concepts have been found to be related.

Full textAbstract:
A large body of literature exists to show that childhood anxiety and depression are significantly interrelated, both at the disorder and the symptom level. Clark and Watson (1991) proposed that a tripartite model could account for the observed relations between anxiety and depression. The tripartite model holds that while anxiety and depression share a substantial component of general affective distress or negative affectivity (NA), they can be meaningfully differentiated on the basis of specific symptoms. Anhedonia, or low positive affect (PA), is seen as specific to depression, and physiological arousal (PH), or somatic tension, is seen as unique to anxiety. The studies presented in this thesis were designed to investigate the tripartite model of anxiety and depression in children and youth. Although previous studies provide some support for the validity of the tripartite model in children, they have not systematically examined the generalisability of the model across the developmental spectrum. Where age differences have been explored, there is some evidence to suggest that anxiety and depression show greater differentiation across development. Therefore, the first study sought to test unitary, dual, and tripartite models of anxiety and depression in a cross-sectional design, using three distinct age cohorts of non-referred children and youth recruited from grade 3 (mean age 7.74 years), grade 6 (mean age 10.59 years), and grade 9 (mean age 13.52 years). A confirmatory factor analytic strategy was used with selected items from the Revised Childrens Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Childrens Depression Inventory. The study found little evidence to support the idea of increasing differentiation with age. All models provided a moderate fit to the data, although analyses indicated that a correlated three-factor tripartite model was the preferred model in all age cohorts. These results suggest that the tripartite model may be a clinically useful tool in differentiating between depressive and anxious symptoms and disorders in children of all ages. The second study then sought to examine the predictive utility of the tripartite model, using a subsample of participants from the first study. In line with the tripartite theory, it was anticipated that the dimensions of NA and PA would predict concurrent and future symptoms of hopelessness (depression). Further, it was expected that the dimensions of NA and PH would predict concurrent and future symptoms of panic (anxiety). Self-report symptoms of hopelessness and panic were measured at baseline and again 12 months later. Results revealed some consistencies and inconsistencies with respect to the predictions of the model. In accordance with predictions, results indicated that NA and PA were significant predictors of concurrent symptoms of hopelessness for grade 3 and grade 6 students, but not for grade 9 students. In addition, NA and PH were significant predictors of concurrent symptoms of panic for grade 6 students, but not for grade 3 or grade 9 students. The tripartite dimensions of NA and PA predicted future hopelessness symptoms for grade 6 students only, however the NA and PH dimensions did not predict future symptoms of panic for any students. Methodology of the study is examined in interpreting the obtained results, and limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Suicide is a significant public health concern worldwide and the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Risk factors for suicide include depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and previous suicide attempts, among others. Some vulnerable groups may have unique risk factors that exacerbate suicide risk; for instance, college students experience academic stress, and individuals with chronic illnesses, such as fibromyalgia and cancer, face persistent health complications. However, protective characteristics, such as self-compassion, may reduce suicide risk. Comprised of self-kindness, mindfulness, and common humanity, self-compassion is beneficially associated with mental and physical health, and to the task of suicide prevention. As such, we examined the relation between self-compassion and suicidal behavior, and the potential parallel mediating effects of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness across four samples (community, N = 632; collegiate, N = 338; fibromyalgia, N = 508; cancer, N = 241). Across all four samples, the combined effect of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness mediated the relation between self-compassion and suicidal behavior. Our findings provide support for the notion that self-compassion has a beneficial association with suicidal behavior directly, as well as indirectly via its influence on the suicide risk factors of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. Increasing self-compassion through interventions such as Compassion-Focused Therapy and Mindful Self-Compassion may not only increase self-compassion, but may also facilitate adaptive coping, particularly in times of distress, that ameliorates symptoms of psychopathology and suicide risk. Future prospective, longitudinal studies, and randomized control trials, are needed to examine causal effects of self-compassion on emotional dysfunction and suicidal behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Links between later life depression (LLD) and adverse health outcomes are well-documented, with mental ill-health in rural older adults highlighted as a priority area for health care policy. In working age adults, models of depression show that specific psychological factors (e.g. hopelessness, neuroticism, extraversion and insecure attachment) interact with life stress to increase risk of depression. In older adults, however, the direct relationship between depression and hopelessness is inconsistently replicated. In addition, there is little evidence regarding how psychological factors interact with vulnerability to depression in older adults; and whether these factors act in the same manner as they do in working age adults. Objectives: A systematic review was carried out in order to determine the strength of the depression-hopelessness relationship, and the influence of personality traits (neuroticism/ extraversion) and insecure attachment (anxious/ avoidant) on this relationship. Next, an exploratory study was carried out to determine whether there was a direct relationship between depression and hopelessness in rural older adults living in the community and, secondly, whether this relationship was indirectly influenced by specific psychological factors (e.g. neuroticism, extraversion, and attachment styles). Methods: The systematic review was carried out using several databases (Psychinfo, Science Direct, EBCOS, Cohrane Library, PROSPERO, WEBCAT and Google Scholar). Studies relating to the variables of interest, meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, were reviewed and evaluated for methodological biases. The pilot study asked older adults (N = 58) living in a remote and rural region to complete and return a packet of self-report questionnaires (Big Factor Inventory-10, Experiences in Close Relationships, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale). Results: The systematic review identified twenty-one studies; four examining the depression-hopelessness relationship and seventeen investigating the effects of neuroticism, extraversion and insecure attachment styles on wellbeing, depression and/ or hopelessness. Findings from the pilot showed a direct relationship between depression and hopelessness in rural community dwelling older adults, with only neuroticism indirectly influencing this relationship. Conclusions: The systematic review suggests that it is not possible, as yet, to draw robust conclusions from the existing evidence base regarding the influence of psychological variables on depression and hopelessness in older adults. The findings were particularly sensitive to methodological limitations (e.g. variability between sampling methods and small effect sizes). Despite this, studies suggest some evidence for attachment and personality influencing on the depression-hopelessness relationship. Likewise, findings from the pilot study are limited by the small sample size and cross-sectional nature of the data. Preliminary findings, however, suggest that neuroticism, and not beliefs about insecure attachment, strengthens the relationship between depression and hopelessness in non-clinical, rural older adults. These findings are consistent with research on working age adults and could, potentially, represent an emerging relationship in non-clinical older adults. Further research, however, is required as to whether the same patterns are observed in clinical populations.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of mood disorders and in particular depression is pertinent with rapidly increasing incidences of depression and suicide a widespread phenomenon in the world today. In South Africa, the rates of depression are increasing steadily each year. Much research has been undertaken in the area of depression, with negative cognitive schema identified as a common factor, which increases an individual’s vulnerability or diathesis to depression and hopelessness. The primary aims of this research are to explore and describe the depressogenic cognitive schema of both a depressed as well as normal (nondepressed) individuals and identify the relationship these schema have to levels of depression and hopelessness. In order to achieve these objectives, three measures were administered, the Beck’s Depression Inventory, the Beck’s Hopelessness Scale and the Inferential Style Questionnaire. The research design is quantitative in nature and took the form of an exploratory-descriptive study. The researcher made use of frequency tests to identify frequencies of scores and descriptive statistics to identify the mean, range and standard deviations. T tests, a Pearson product- moment correlation coefficient and factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) were also employed for statistical analysis within this research study. The findings of this research study identify that the depressed sample scored higher levels of depression, hopelessness and negative inferential style than that of the normal sample.

Emotional distress items were developed and administered to cancer patients who initiated chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments at Morton Plant Hospital Cancer Center in Clearwater, Florida, USA. Item responses were examined by factor analyses of principal components with promax rotations. The EDI presents three subscales that assess anxiety/depression, hopelessness, and anger expression as components of emotional distress. We also discuss the important implications of these subscales, particularly the inclusion of anger expression and hopelessness in the assessment of emotional distress in cancer patients.<br>El propósito de este estudio es avanzar en la construcción del Inventario de Distrés Emocional (IDE) como un instrumento de screening, fácilmente accesible, administrable, ypsicométricamente válido y confiable, en la medición del distrés emocional en pacientes con cáncer.

Data were collected from the instruments chosen and subsequently used with detainees, namely: 1) Beck Depression Scale, 2) Beck Anxiety Scale; 3) Beck Hopelessness Scale, 4) socio-emotional questionnaire. The results below indicate that depression is present among 25.0% of inmates, while 11.9% had anxiety symptoms, 6.64% indicating positive for symptoms of hopelessness and finally 59.7% had
symptoms socio-emotional distress. It was also highlighted in the present study the correlation between socio-emotional distress and symptoms of depression, anxiety and hopelessness, indicating that the absence of family and social support, can lead the detainee to develop these symptoms over time. The data analysis also revealed that the higher the degree of vulnerability to which the prisoner is exposed, the greater the odds
of presenting the same symptoms mentioned. Overall, this study allowed us to outline a framework of factors that trigger momentary suffering among inmates and impact the performance of daily activities within the establishment, and show that early identification of these symptoms can contribute to promoting mental health and quality Living among them.<br>Este estudo teve como objetivo principal averiguar a prevalência de sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e desesperança, bem como, possível sofrimento sócioafetivo, entre duzentos e cinquenta e dois detentos do Complexo Penitenciário Anísio Jobim, na Cidade de Manaus, Capital do Estado do Amazonas, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados dos instrumentos escolhidos e posteriormente utilizados junto aos detentos, a saber: 1)
Escala Beck de Depressão; 2) Escala Beck de Ansiedade; 3) escala Beck de Desesperança; 4) Questionário Sócioafetivo. Os resultados apontam abaixo que a depressão encontra-se presente entre 25,0% dos detentos, enquanto que 11,9%
apresentam sintomas de ansiedade, 6,64% com indicação positiva para sintomas de desesperança e por fim 59,7% apresentaram sintomas de sofrimento sócioafetivo.
Destaque-se ainda no presente estudo a correlação encontrada entre sofrimento sócioafetivo e sintomas de depressão, ansiedade e desesperança, indicando que a ausência de suporte familiar e social, pode levar o detento a desenvolver os referidos
sintomas com o passar do tempo. A análise dos dados obtidos revelou ainda, que quanto maior o grau de vulnerabilidade a que o detento está exposto, maiores são as probabilidades do mesmo apresentar os mencionados sintomas. De maneira geral, este estudo permitiu traçar um quadro momentâneo dos fatores que desencadeiam sofrimentos entre os detentos e impactam o desempenho de suas atividades diárias no interior do estabelecimento, bem como mostrar que a identificação antecipada destes sintomas pode contribuir para promoção de saúde mental e qualidade de vida entre os mesmos.

Full textAbstract:
Tidigare forskning pekar på att det kan finnas samband mellan vissa psykologiska faktorer och utveckling av depression och ångest. Därför var syftet med denna studie att undersöka huruvida olika psykologiska faktorer påverkar risken att utveckla depression samt ångest vid en uppföljning efter tre år. Studien baserades på data som insamlats vid det första (T1) och det andra (T2) mättillfället i den longitudinella populationsbaserade Miljöhälsostudien i Västerbotten. Samplen i denna undersökning bestod av deltagare som inte hade ångest (n=1930), och deltagare som inte hade depression (n=2120) vid T1. I studien undersöktes i vilken utsträckning upplevelse av utmattning, insomni, känsla av hjälp- och hopplöshet, stress, självskattad ohälsa, ångest och depression vid T1 ökade risken för depression respektive ångest vid T2. Logistiska regressionsanalyser visade på en signifikant ökad risk för att utveckla depression vid T2 (Oddskvot; OK=1.99-3.64) för samtliga riskfaktorer. Riskfaktorerna depression, utmattning, hjälp- och hopplöshet och självskattad ohälsa ökade risken för att utveckla ångest vid T2 signifikant (OK=2.37-3.78). Sammanfattningsvis visar resultaten att riskfaktorerna indikerar en i varierande grad ökad risk för att utveckla depression och ångest. Kännedom om riskfaktorer kan vara ett betydelsefullt stöd för att i ett tidigt skede sätta in interventioner och därmed förhindra senare insjuknande i depression och ångest.<br>Previous research suggests that there may be a link between certain psychological factors and development of depression and anxiety. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate how different psychological factors affect the risk of developing depression and anxiety in a follow-up three years later. The study was based on data from baseline (T1) and follow-up (T2) in the Västerbotten Environmental Health Study, a longitudinal population- based study. The sample consisted of participants who did not have anxiety (n = 1930), and participants who did not have depression (n = 2120) at T1. The study examined the extent to which experience of exhaustion, insomnia, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, stress, low self-rated health, anxiety and depression at T1 increased the risk of depression and anxiety at T2, respectively. Logistic regression analyses showed a significantly increased risk of developing depression at T2 (Odds ratio; OR = 1.99-3.64) for all risk factors. The risk factors depression, exhaustion, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness and low self-rated health significantly increased the risk of developing anxiety at T2 (OR = 2.37-3.78). In conclusion, the results show that the risk factors indicate a varying degree of increased risk of developing depression and anxiety. Knowledge of risk factors is important as support for initiating interventions at an early stage and thus preventing later onset of depression and anxiety.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica<br>O nosso estudo procurou perceber se a depressão, a desesperança e a ideação suicida estavam correlacionadas e se o tipo de recordação de memórias autobiográficas para as palavras família, amigos e escola, ao nível da especificidade, valência e categorias, influencia as primeiras três variáveis. Para tal, foi aplicada uma tarefa de memórias autobiográficas onde era pedido para recordar três memórias referentes às palavras família, escola e amigos, a Escala de auto-avaliação da Depressão (DSRS), a Escala da Desesperança de Beck (BHS) e o questionário da ideação suicida (QIS). Os resultados sugeriram que a ideação suicida, a depressão e a desesperança estão positiva e fortemente correlacionadas. Sugeriram ainda que a recordação das memórias autobiográficas referentes às palavras família e amigos não influenciaram a ideação suicida, a depressão nem a desesperança. Para a recordação das memórias autobiográficas referentes à palavra escola, foi possível verificar que a variável categoria tem apenas um efeito principal na depressão. Embora os resultados referentes à especificidade e valência das memórias autobiográficas para as palavras família, amigos e escola não apresentassem diferenças estatisticamente significativas, foi possível verificar uma tendência de recuperação de memórias específicas e memórias positivas para adolescentes que apresentaram menor média de ideação suicida, depressão e desesperança. ------ ABSTRACT ------ The aim of our study is to understand if depression, hopelessness and suicidal ideation were correlated and if the type of recall of autobiographical memories for the words family, friends and school, at the specificity, valence and categories, influences the first three variables. For that, we applied a task of autobiographical memories where was asked to recall three memories concerning the words family, school and friends, the Scale for self-rating Depression (DSRS), the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and the questionnaire of suicidal ideation (QIS). The results suggested that suicidal ideation, depression and hopelessness are positively and strongly correlated. They also suggested that the recall of autobiographical memories related to the words family and friends did not influence suicidal ideation, depression or hopelessness. To the recall of autobiographical memories related to the word school, we only found that the variable category has one main effect on depression. Although the results regarding the prevalence and specificity of autobiographical memories for the words family, friends and school did not show statistically significant differences, we found a trend toward recovery of specific memories and positive memories for adolescents who had lower average suicide ideation, depression and hopelessness.

Full textAbstract:
Death by suicide, and suicidal behaviors, are a significant public mental health problem, and individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning (LGBTQ), may be at increased risk. Potential underlying mechanisms of this association are unknown, but may involve the impact of LGBTQ status on future orientation and mood. Our purpose was to determine the influence of sexual identity, sequentially, on cognitive and emotional functioning, and consequent relation to suicidal behavior. In a sample of 349 college students, we used serial mediation models to investigate the relation between self-identification as LGBTQ and suicidal behavior, with hope and hopelessness as first-order mediators and depression as a second order mediator. Supporting hypotheses, we found that LGBTQ status was related to less hope and greater hopelessness and, in serial fashion, to depressive symptoms and consequent suicidal behavior. Our findings may have clinical implications. Resolution of hopelessness and depression, and promotion of hopefulness, perhaps via Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies, such as goal-setting, may reduce suicidal risk in LGBTQ young adults.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: A desesperança encontra-se amplamente associada com depressão maior e risco de suicídio. O suicídio, por sua vez, é um problema de saúde pública que está associado a uma diversidade de fatores e contextos econômicos, sociais e emocionais. No Brasil, a ocorrência de suicídio parece se relacionar diretamente com situações de perda, frustrações e sofrimento emocional, como a situação de abortamento na vida da mulher. Objetivos: este estudo tem como objetivos identificar desesperança em mulheres que viveram/provocaram abortamento; avaliar depressão maior; verificar a associação entre ocorrência de abortamento espontâneo ou provocado e depressão e desesperança. Método: este estudo foi composto por duas fases. Na primeira fase, foi verificado o prontuário de 162 mulheres que tiveram diagnóstico de abortamento e participaram do projeto anterior \"Culpa, ansiedade e depressão na vivência do abortamento provocado\", sendo que, destas 144 tinham vivido abortamento espontâneo e 18, abortamentos provocados. Nessa fase foram analisadas entrevista semidirigida; Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD) e Escala de Desesperança de Beck (BHS). Após uma média de tempo de 95,75 meses da ocorrência do abortamento, foi realizado contato telefônico com as 162 mulheres, visando convidá-las a participar da segunda fase; 12 mulheres aceitaram retornar. Foram aplicados os seguintes instrumentos: entrevista semidirigida, o PRIME-MD e BHS. Foi realizada análise quantitativa e qualitativa dos dados, os quais foram analisados pela técnica de análise temática e posteriormente foi utilizado o programa IBM SPSS Statistics Standard Edition. O nível de significância utilizado foi p < 0,05. Também foi realizada analise qualitativa dos discursos das mulheres que compareceram na segunda fase deste estudo. Resultados: constatou-se que 14,6%(n=21) das mulheres que sofreram abortamento espontâneo apresentaram alto nível de desesperança (índice <= 9) e 30,6%(n=44) apresentaram diagnóstico de depressão maior. Desta forma, foi observada associação significativa entre alto nível de desesperança e diagnóstico depressivo em mulheres com abortamento espontâneo (p=0,03). Entre as mulheres que relataram abortamento provocado, contatou-se que 27,8% (n=5) apresentaram altos índices de desesperança e 55,6%(n=10) foram diagnosticadas com depressão maior. Ao associar as duas variáveis, não foi encontrada significância estatística (p=0,9). Os resultados da segunda fase revelaram que 2 mulheres encontravam- se com alta desesperança, sendo que uma referiu abortamento espontâneo e a outra, provocado, ambas também tinham diagnóstico de depressão maior. Conclusão: foi constatado alto nível de sofrimento emocional e de desesperança associado com a situação do abortamento independente de sua natureza, se espontânea ou provocada. Foi observada associação estatística significativa entre depressão e desesperança entre as mulheres que vivenciaram abortamento espontâneo. Nas avaliações da segunda fase, constatou-se que o sofrimento de algumas mulheres permanecia atual, independente do tempo decorrido ou do tipo do abortamento<br>Introduction: Hopelessness is widely associated with Major Depression and suicide risk. The suicide, on the other hand, is a public health problem that may be associated with economic, social and emotional factors. In Brazil, the ocurrence of suicide seems to be directly related to situations involving loss, frustrations and emotional distress, such as the abortion situation in woman\'s life. Objectives: This study aims to identify hopelessness in women who have received abortions or miscarriage diagnosis; to evaluate major depression; to verify the association between miscarriage, abortion; depression and hopelessness. Method: This study was composed of two phases. In the first phase, it was verified the medical records of 162 women who had a diagnosis of abortion and participated in the previous Project \"Guilt, anxiety and depression in the experience of induced abortion\". Of these, 144 had a miscarriage and 18 had a induced abortion. For this phase, a semidiriged interwiew; Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD) and Beck`s Hopelessness Scale (BHS) was analyzed. In the second phase, after an average time of 95,75 months from the abortion, a telephone call was made to the 162 women in order to invite them to participate at this time; twelve women agreed to return to the second phase of this study. The following instruments were applied: semi-directed interwiew, PRIME-MS and BHS. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed. The data were analyzed by the thematic analysis technique and later using the IBM SPSS Statistics Standard Edition. The significance level was p < 0,05. A qualitative analysis of the discourses of the women who attended the second phase was also performed. Results: It was found that 14,6% (n=21) of the women who suffered miscarriage had a high level of hopelessness (índex <= 9) and 30,6% (n=44) presented a diagnosis of major depression. Statistical significance was observed between high level of hopelessness and depressive diagnosis in women with miscarriage (p=0,03). Among women reporting induced abortion, 27,8% (n=5) had high rates of hopelessness and 55,6% (n=10) were diagnosed with major depression. When the two variables were associated, no statistical significance was found (p=0,9). The results of the second phase revealed that 2 women presented a high level of hopelessness, 1 that reported miscarriage and 1 that reported induced abortion. Both had a diagnosis of Major Depression. Conclusion: It was observed a high level of emotional distress associated with the abortion experience regardless of its natures, whether spontaneous or induced. There were There were high rates of hopelessness among women who experienced abortion, whether spontaneous or induced; and a statistically significant association was found between depression and hopelessness among women who experienced spontaneous abortion. In the evaluations of the second phase it was found that the suffering of some women remained current, regardless of the time elapsed or the type of abortion

Full textAbstract:
The present study aimed to reveal the effect of family functioning, attachment styles in romantic relationships, and city of origin on the emotional well-being of first year university students. 286 first-year university students from the Department of Basic English at Middle East Technical University participated in the study. They completed a demographic information sheet, the McMaster Family Assessment Device, the short-form Version of Experiences in Close Relationships Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and the Hopelessness Scale. ANOVAs were run to find out if there are significant differences in the emotional well-being of participants with different cities of origin and gender. To assess if there are significant differences in the emotional well-being between participants with different attachment styles and cities of origin, ANCOVAs (Gender as the covariate factor) were conducted. Finally, regressions were run to find out the relationship between demographic variables, attachment styles, family functioning, and emotional well-being of first-year university students. The participants who moved to Ankara when they started university were found to report more depressive symptoms than the participants who had been living in Ankara. Further significant differences were observed in the depression and hopelessness levels of participants with different attachment styles. In general, those participants having fearful attachment styles tended to have more depressive symptoms and hopelessness as compared to those having secure and preoccupied attachment styles. Regression analyses revealed that absence of secure attachment style, fearful attachment style, and problems in affective responsiveness in the family were associated with symptoms of depression. Gender, fearful attachment style, and communication problems in the family were found to be associated with symptoms of anxiety<br>and fearful attachment style, communication problems in the family and inappropriate family roles were found to associate with hopelessness. These findings were discussed with reference to relevant literature. Future research topics were suggested and thereupatic implications of the study were stated.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate breast cancer patients’ experiences of their illness and of traditional nursing care (TNC) or supportive nursing care (SNC) respectively, as well as nurses' experiences of support and of caring for cancer patients. An intervention including extended co-operation between the surgical ward and primary health care, shorter waiting times, and changed routines concerning the information about the diagnosis, as well as training and systematic clinical supervision for the nurses, was implemented. Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients (n=47) from two county councils in the south-east of Sweden were interviewed (IV, V). Thirty-four of them completed scales about well-being, burnout, hopelessness, anxiety and depression (VII). The women who had TNC reported lack of professional support during the initial phase of the disease and suggested changes in the care similar to those implemented in the SNC. In the SNC group the women expressed feelings of safety and security after the professional support and the organizational changes in the care. There were significantly more single women and women who had had breast conserving surgery in the SNC group than in the TNC (VII). The hopelessness scores in the SNC group were significantly higher than in the TNC group. Thirty-nine district nurses (DNs) were interviewed at baseline (I), and thirty-three of them completed scales about burnout, empathy, and sense of coherence (SOC) before and after systematic clinical supervision (VI). Twenty-three of the 39 DNs, as well as 9 hospital nurses (HNs) who participated in the clinical supervision, were interviewed about their experiences of this intervention (III). Twenty-nine tape-recorded supervision sessions in three groups of DNs (n=23) were analysed (II). Baseline interviews and analyses of the content of the supervisory sessions strongly emphasized that DNs experienced problems in the home care of seriously ill cancer patients. Deep human contacts were a source of both strain and enrichment. The clinical supervision was said to provide relief from undesirable thoughts and feelings, confirmation of themselves both as individuals and in their professional role, a broader and deeper knowledge and increased self-confidence. There were no significant differences in the burnout, empathy, and SOC scores between the supervisory group (n=21) and a comparison group (n=12) at the first and second measures, nor over time within the groups. There were some correlations between these phenomena and the Karolinska scales of personality, as well as correlations between burnout, empathy and SOC. The groups of women were not entirely similar as regards demographic and medical characteristics, and the sample size of patients and nurses was small. It is obvious that patients in the TNC missed those factors that were implemented in the SNC, at the same time the latter women expressed hopelessness more often than those who had received TNC. This result may be due to the fact that support from nurses had made the women more prepared to express their feelings, that support had not been provided to an adequate extent or in the right way, or that the applied scales were not appropriate. The finding that the nurses experienced the clinical supervision as very positive but that, despite this, there were no significant differences in attitudes measured by scales within or between the groups, can be interpreted in a similar way. Consequently, further research is needed to judge the effects of intervention. The study has, above all, produced qualitative descriptions of patients' experiences of the nursing care after discharge from hospital, and of DNs’ experiences of the care of cancer patients in their homes, and of systematic clinical supervision.<br><p>Diss.

En el moment en què els ballarins pateixen una lesió l'atenció dels professionals de la medicina de la dansa se centra prioritàriament en els aspectes físics del tractament i de la recuperació. Amb tot, la lesió sovint té conseqüències pel que fa a les funcions psicològiques. L'objectiu d'aquesta recerca de tipus exploratori, de disseny empíric, transversal, descriptiu i correlacional/causal és conèixer les respostes emocionals davant la lesió de ballarins lesionats de dansa mesurant depressió, desesperança, estat emocional i estratègies d'afrontament. Per això, es varen administrar el POMS, BDI-II, BHS i CHIP, a més d'un qüestionari sobre els factors associats a la lesió, a una mostra de 94 ballarins lesionats a Nova York. <br/>Els resultats més destacats assenyalen que el 31,9% dels ballarins va presentar una simptomatologia de depressió en les categories de lleu, moderat i sever en el BDI-II i un 42,9% d'ells desesperança. Quant al perfil de l'estat d'ànim (POMS), constatem una tendència a nivells elevats de tensió i confusió, seguits de depressió, fatiga i hostilitat. El vigor destaca per la seva absència. Les estratègies d'afrontament utilitzades inclouen l'afrontament instrumental i el de distracció, mentre que tendeixen a no utilitzar en la mateixa mesura estratègies pal·liatives. Pel que fa a d'altres factors associats cal destacar, en primer lloc, les preocupacions econòmiques com a factor que pot arribar a ser un impediment a l'hora d'obtenir tractament mèdic i/o psicològic. En segon lloc, en relació a les conductes dels ballarins és rellevant que el 64,8% va continuar ballant malgrat la lesió, i que el 31,9% va cuidar la lesió per sí mateix, sense cap ajut mèdic. Finalment, pel que fa al suport i l'ajuda que pot oferir un psicòleg especialitzat en dansa, els ballarins valoren positivament les tècniques de relaxació, i el seu suport davant les respostes emocionals davant les lesions, així com en la transició psicosocial de la carrera de ballarí.<br>En el momento en que los bailarines sufren una lesión la atención de los profesionales de la medicina de la danza se centra prioritariamente en los aspectos físicos del tratamiento y de la recuperación.

Para ello, se administraron el POMS, BDI-II, BHS y CHIP, además de un cuestionario sobre los factores asociados a la lesión, a una muestra de 94 bailarines lesionados en Nueva York. <br/>Los resultados más destacados señalan que el 31,9% de los bailarines presentó una sintomatología de depresión en las categorías de leve, moderado y severo en el BDI-II y un 42,9% de ellos desesperanza. En cuanto al perfil del estado de ánimo (POMS), constatamos una tendencia a niveles elevados de tensión y confusión, seguidos de depresión, fatiga y hostilidad. El vigor destaca por su bajas puntuaciones. Las estrategias de afrontamiento empleadas incluyen el afrontamiento instrumental y el de distracción, mientras que tienden a no utilizar en la misma medida estrategias paliativas. En cuanto a otros factores asociados es importante destacar, en primer lugar, las preocupaciones económicas como factor que puede llegar ser un impedimento para obtener tratamiento médico y/o psicológico. En segundo lugar, en relación con las conductas de los bailarines cabe destacar que el 64,8% continuó bailando aún estando lesionado, y que el 31,9% cuidó la lesión por sí mismo. Finalmente, en cuanto al apoyo y la ayuda que puede ofrecer un psicólogo especializado en danza, los bailarines valoran positivamente las técnicas de relajación, y su apoyo ante las respuestas emocionales ante las lesiones, así como en la transición psicosocial después de la carrera de bailarín.<br>When dancers are injured dance medicine professionals focus their attention primarily on the physical aspects of treatment and recovery. However, injuries usually have an impact on the individual's psychological functions as well. The objective of this exploratory study, of experimental, transversal, descriptive and correlational/causal design, is to know the emotional responses towards injury in injured dancers measuring depression, hopelessness, emotional state and coping strategies. In order to do that, the POMS, BDI-II, BHS and CHIP were administered, together with a questionnaire regarding injury-associated factors, to a sample of 94 injured dancers in New York. <br/>As for the results, 31.9% of the dancers showed depression symptomatology in the categories mild, moderate and severe in the BDI-II and 42.9 of them showed hopelessness. Regarding the profile of mood states (POMS), results show a tendency towards high levels of tension and confusion, followed by depression, fatigue and hostility. Vigor stands out due to its low scores. The coping strategies used include instrumental and distraction, while not using palliative strategies in the same degree. Regarding other injury-associated factors it is important to note, firstly, the dancers' economical worries as a factor that can even prevent them from accessing medical and/or psychological treatment. Secondly, as regards dancers' behavior, 64.8% of them continued dancing despite being injured, and that 31.9% took care of their injuries themselves, without any professional medical help. Finally, regarding the support and help a dance psychologist can provide, dancers considered positive the relaxation techniques, and their support when emotionally responding to injuries as well as in the psychosocial transition at the end of their professional career.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: The authors examined trait hope and hopelessness as potential moderators of the association between depressive symptoms and suicidal behavior. Participants: A diverse sample of 372 college students. Methods: Depressive symptoms, hopelessness (Beck Hopelessness Scale), trait hope (Trait Hope Scale), and suicidal behaviors were assessed. Trait hope is defined as confidence in the ability to identify and attain goals, whereas hopelessness encompasses future attitudes and motivation loss. Results: In independent models, low hopelessness buffered the association between depressive symptoms and suicidal behavior for our whole sample, blacks, and whites, whereas trait hope buffered for Hispanics and whites. Examined simultaneously, hope remained a significant moderator only in whites and hopelessness only in blacks. These findings suggest that etiological and outcome correlates of hope and hopelessness may differ by ethnicity. Conclusions: These findings may have implications for development of culturally targeted interventions for college students that strive to simultaneously reduce hopelessness and bolster hopefulness.

Full textAbstract:
Two studies were undertaken to examine the relationship between suicidality and three key psychological predictors of suicide risk, namely, depression, hopelessness, and psychache. Study 1 determined the degree to which these suicide risk predictors are distinct using a sample of undergraduate students (N = 587). Because typical measures of depression, hopelessness, and psychache differ in terms of their scale format, results were compared using original items, dichotomized items, parcels of original items, and parcels of dichotomized items. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated that depression, hopelessness, and psychache comprise three separate, but correlated factors. Psychache accounted for a greater proportion of variance in depression and hopelessness than vice versa, and psychache was also more strongly associated with a wider range of suicide criteria than depression and hopelessness, though all three predictors made unique contributions to suicidality. In order to ascertain whether suicide risk predictors interact with stress to predict suicidality, study 2 compared diathesis-stress models of depression, hopelessness, and psychache in a 4-month longitudinal study using an independent sample of university undergraduates (N = 301). When initial levels of all variables were controlled, hopelessness and psychache, but not depression, were significantly associated with suicide risk. Furthermore, negative cognitions about oneself, the world, and the future served as a common diathesis that interacted with major negative life events to precipitate increases in both hopelessness and psychache. Simple slopes analyses further indicated that among individuals with a low level of cognitive diathesis, the frequency of major life stressors was positively associated with both hopelessness and psychache. However, among individuals with a high level of cognitive diathesis, the frequency of
major life stressors was negatively associated with hopelessness and unrelated to psychache. Together, the results of the research presented in this dissertation have important implications for understanding the unique roles of depression, hopelessness, and psychache in the prediction of suicide risk.<br>Thesis (Ph.D, Psychology) -- Queen's University, 2007-12-14 17:09:43.918<br>Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Full textAbstract:
This study provides the first examination of the hopelessness
theory of depression among an older adult population. Adapted from
the theory of learned helplessness, hopelessness depression is
hypothesized to exist as a specific depressive subtype within a
heterogeneous grouping of affective disorders. Salient negative life
events are hypothesized to trigger depressive attributional
processes among predisposed persons. This entails the propensity
to attribute responsibility for negative events to stable and global
causes, leading to the generalized perception of hopelessness.
Seventy spousal caregivers of suspected dementia patients
were recruited within an outpatient geriatric assessment clinic.
One-time interviews were conducted with caregivers at the time of
their relative's assessment. Caregivers were grouped within a
predetermined matrix on the basis of responses to two depression
screening measures. Analyses were subsequently conducted to
assess the degree of association between the construct of
hopelessness and depressive attributional style.
A second focus of this study was an examination of the
relationship between hopelessness and caregiver burden. This
analysis suggests the constrained cognitive processes associated
with the construct of hopelessness are significantly related to
burden among caregivers. It is hypothesized that caregiver burden
may be a specific type of hopelessness depression within this
population.
The results of univariate and multivariate analyses indicated
a strong and significant association between hopelessness and
depressive attributional processes. In contrast, depressed persons
who do not present as hopeless do not appear to attribute negative
events to stable and global causes. These findings provide the first
indication that hopelessness effectively differentiates cognitive
functioning within this population of older adults.
The construct of hopelessness also appears significantly
related to expressed burden among spousal caregivers. The
constrained cognitive set epitomized by hopeless ideation may
reflect the despair perceived by those caregivers who are
overwhelmed by this role. This association appears over and above
objective variables related to patient impairment and duration of
caregiving.
The sample recruited for the current study was compared
against a randomly derived grouping of spousal caregivers from the
Canadian Study of Health and Aging (CSHA). Demographic similarity
between samples would suggest that caregivers recruited for the
current study are representative of Canadian caregivers. Based on
this finding, results from the current study can be generalized with
greater confidence.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>中原大學<br>心理學研究所<br>104<br>Background and purpose：Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common side effects of patient with cancer. It is also one of concern issue on recent psycho-oncology, and is known to highly correlate with depression. From the literature review, Cancer patient in the process of fighting cancer may both feel hopeful and hopeless. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of hope and hopelessness on depression and cancer-related fatigue in patient with cancer, including the relationship between hopelessness on patient’s depression and fatigue, and the role of hope in this relationship. By understanding this, more information will be provided to health professionals for better intervention, and it also can be provided to improve patient’s quality of life.
Methods：This study is based on cross-sectional design. A total of 150 patients with cancer were included. The tools we used in this study including the Personal Basic Information, The Trait Hope Scale, The Beck Hopelessness Scale(BHS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and Cancer Fatigue Scale(CFS). Correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyses the statistics.
Result：(1) Patients who reported having higher level of hopelessness would feel more depressed. (2) Patients who reported having higher level of hope (agency and pathway thinking) would feel lower depressed. (3) Patients who reported having higher level of hopelessness would have higher level of cancer-related fatigue. (4) Patients who reported having higher level of hope (agency and pathway thinking) would have lower level of cancer-related fatigue. (5) The interaction between hopelessness and agency thinking of hope significantly predicted depressive symptoms. (6) The interaction between hopelessness and hope, hopelessness and agency thinking of hope, and hopelessness and pathway thinking of hope significantly predicted physical fatigue.
Discussion：Agency thinking plays an important role in coping process of patient with cancer, when they are struggling with depression by feeling hopeless. In addition, if a patient’s physical fatigue is caused by hopelessness, not only agency thinking, but also pathway thinking has moderating effects on physical fatigue. Therefore, in order to prevent depression and physical fatigue and to improve the quality of life of these patients, we suggest that clinicians can timely help the patients to enhance corresponding component of hope.

Full textAbstract:
The current research investigated the role of depression, hopelessness, anxiety sensitivity, and trait anxiety in alcohol use and problems, using hierarchical regression and structural equation modelling (SEM). Using adolescent sample in Study 1, coping drinking motives mediated the relations of both depression and hopelessness with alcohol problems, whereas conformity motives mediated the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and alcohol problems. Trait anxiety did not significantly contribute to the prediction of alcohol use once other predictors were accounted for. The structural model was cross-validated on a second group of adolescents. Using a young adult sample, Study 2 further investigated distinct motivational pathways to alcohol use, distinguishing between anxiety-related and depression-related drinking motives. Depressive symptomatology had an indirect impact on alcohol dependence through depression drinking motives, whereas trait anxiety had an indirect impact on alcohol dependence through anxiety motives and in turn alcohol frequency. Depression is hypothesized to be characterized by an underactive Behavioural Activation System (BAS; i.e., reward-responsiveness) and an overactive Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS; i.e., punishment-susceptibility), whereas anxiety is said to be characterized by an overactive BIS only. Self-report BIS/BAS scales and a reinforcement contingency paradigm - Card Arranging Reward Responsivity Objective Test (CARROT) - were used to examine the extent to which reinforcement sensitivity was able to account for relations among personality/symptom variables and alcohol use. A sip of alcohol was used to examine whether cues for alcohol could increase reward-responsiveness and diminish punishment-susceptibility. Generally, findings confirmed hypotheses concerning BAS and BIS activity. However, depressive symptomatology was not characterized by low BAS activity using self-report, and neither hopelessness nor depressive symptomatology exhibited low BAS on the CARROT. Anxiety sensitivity was characterized by high BIS with self-report, but not the CARROT. Individuals scoring high on depressive symptomatology, hopelessness, and trait anxiety all exhibited high self-reported BIS activity and diminished punishment-susceptibility on the CARROT after presentation of alcohol cues. The current research provides preliminarily evidence for depression and anxiety playing independent roles in motivation for alcohol use, with both reflecting a desire to diminish BIS activity (i.e., negative affect). The current as well as past findings are integrated into a model of depression and anxiety-related alcohol use.
