Certainty-related beliefs and depressive symptomatology: concurrent and longitudinal relationships

Article Abstract:

Depressive predictive certainty and causal uncertainty are concurrently or longitudinally not related with each other. A 6-week prospective study reveals that causal uncertainty acts as a concomitant of depression while depressive predictive certainty acts as an antecedent of depression. A correlationship was noted between depressive predictive certainty and a rise in depressive symptomatology and causal uncertainty. Uncontrollability perceptions serves as antecedent of causal uncertainty.
