Mood regulation expectancies, anxiety sensitivity, and emotional distress

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the relationships between negative mood regulation and anxiety sensitivity and on their ability to serve as predictors of emotional distress to determine the usefulness of integrating behavior-outcome and stimulus-outcome expectancies in emotional distress expectancy models. Using the Beck Depression Inventory and Trait Anxiety Inventory, both expectancy types were found to be independently related to distress. The highest distress levels were observed in subjects who weakly believed that they could control negative moods and strongly believed that anxiety results in more negative consequences.

Effects of structure and clustering on recall and recognition memory in clinical depression

Article Abstract:

The effect of word lists varied according to structure and degree of clustering on retrieval and recognition memory in depressed individuals was examined. Depressed subjects exhibited poorer recall compared with control groups only on the medium structured material and the randomized categories list. Recognition memory was not found to be influenced by groups nor was it characterized by interactions. Signal detection analysis, however, revealed an effect for group with regard to sensitivity.
