Empirical analysis of factors in depressive cognition: the cognitive triad inventory

Article Abstract:

An analysis on the factor analytic evidence for three components of Beck's cognitive triad revealed that the three scales of the CTI generates five factors. These are positively phrased 'future' items, negatively phrased 'future' items, positively phrased 'world' items, negatively phrased 'world' items, and positively phrased 'self' items. These results support the utility of categorizing depressiveness cognition into three constructs (self, world, and future) and support the notion that different cognitive operations can be elicited from positive versus negative items.

Hopelessness predicts future depressive symptoms: a prospective analysis of cognitive vulnerability and cognitive content specificity

Article Abstract:

Psychological research on college students suggests that Beck's cognitive psychological construct hopelessness, which is part of Beck's negative cognitive triad, may be a precursor of clinical depression. More than 150 students in a lower division psychology course were tested via the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Hopelessness Scale, and the Life Events Survey. The results show a relationship between measured hopelessness and the later onset of depression symptoms.

The specificity of sociotropy-autonomy personality dimensions to depression vs. anxiety

Article Abstract:

A study of 70 females and 42 males on the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory to determine sociotropy in differential prediction of depression vs. anxiety shows that the relationship between sociotropy and depression is not distinct and suggests a need for further study of cognitive content specificity. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses are used to predict anxiety at T2 level.
