Depression and interpersonal dysfunction are inextricably linked. Interpersonal behaviors in individuals with depression, specifically excessive reassurance seeking (ERS) and negative feedback seeking (NFS), have recently emerged as possible risk factors for interpersonal rejection and future depression. However, existing models integrating ERS and NFS in individuals with depression lack empirical support and fail to provide an adequate explanation for the negative social and psychological consequences that concurrent ERS and NFS create. The proposed model, based on the bias and accuracy literature in close relationships, suggests that individuals with depression desire and elicit global enhancement (through ERS) and specific verification (through NFS) from close others. This model has strong theoretical and empirical foundations and suggests that depression chronicity and interpersonal distress stem from the influence that early core-beliefs about relationships and self-views have on the seemingly adaptive combination of global enhancement and specific verification.
抑郁和人际功能障碍是紧密相关的。抑郁个体的人际行为，特别是过度寻求保证（ERS）和寻求负面反馈（NFS），最近被认为是人际拒绝和未来抑郁的可能风险因素。然而，现有的整合抑郁个体中 ERS 和 NFS 的模型缺乏实证支持，也无法充分解释 ERS 和 NFS 同时产生的负面社会和心理后果。基于亲密关系中的偏差和准确性文献，提出的模型表明，抑郁个体渴望并从亲密他人那里获得整体增强（通过 ERS）和特定验证（通过 NFS）。该模型具有坚实的理论和实证基础，并表明抑郁的慢性和人际困扰源于早期关于关系和自我观念的核心信念对看似适应性的整体增强和特定验证组合的影响。
