Validational studies of self-critical and dependent personality dimensions as vulnerability factors for depression have been tested primarily with depressed samples, employing research designs devised to address state vs. trait and trait-situational congruity issues. In this study we examined the diagnostic specificity to depression of these two personality dimensions, comparing Self-Criticism and Dependency scores as measured by the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ) in two samples of outpatients: (1) panic disorder with agoraphobia; and (2) non-psychotic, unipolar major depression. As hypothesized, the two groups differed on Self-Criticism, with the depressed group scoring higher, but no differences were found for Dependency. These findings were similar even when depressed mood was partialed out. These results complement a growing body of research associating Self-Criticism, as specifically measured by the DEQ, with depression.
自我批评和依赖型人格维度作为抑郁症易感性因素的验证性研究，主要是在抑郁症样本中进行测试的，采用了旨在解决状态与特质以及特质-情境一致性问题的研究设计。在本研究中，我们考察了这两个人格维度对抑郁症的诊断特异性，比较了两个门诊样本中通过抑郁体验问卷（DEQ）测量的自我批评和依赖得分：（1）伴有广场恐惧症的惊恐障碍；（2）非精神病性、单相重度抑郁症。正如所假设的那样，两组在自我批评方面存在差异，抑郁症组得分更高，但在依赖方面未发现差异。即使排除了抑郁情绪，这些结果仍然相似。这些结果补充了越来越多的研究，这些研究将通过DEQ具体测量的自我批评与抑郁症联系起来。
