The role of loneliness, irrational beliefs, and deficient reasons for living in predicting vulnerability to hopelessness under conditions of negative life stress was examined. Subjects (N = 178) completed the UCLA Loneliness Scale. Rational Beliefs Inventory, and the Reasons for Living Inventory at the beginning of the semester. Then, at midterm, measures of negative life stress, depression, and hopelessness were obtained from the same subjects. It was hypothesized that the vulnerability factors would interact with negative life stress to predict hopelessness, independent of depressed mood. The results of multiple regression analyses supported this hypothesis. Implications for research, prevention, and treatment are noted.
研究了孤独、非理性信念和生活理由不足在预测负性生活压力条件下易产生绝望感方面的作用。研究对象（N = 178）在学期开始时完成了加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表、理性信念量表和生活理由量表。然后，在学期中期，从同一批研究对象那里获取了负性生活压力、抑郁和绝望感的测量数据。研究假设这些易感性因素会与负性生活压力相互作用，以预测绝望感，且不受抑郁情绪的影响。多元回归分析结果支持了这一假设。文中还指出了该研究结果对研究、预防和治疗的启示。
