There has been little exploration of Beck's cognitive theory of depression and Nolen-Hoeksem's response styles theory within Arab populations.
The study investigates the generalizability of these clinically influential models to Emirati citizens residing within United Arab Emirates (UAE).
An opportunity sample of 450 undergraduate participants was assessed for dysfunctional attitudes using an Arabic/English 40-item version of Weissman and Beck's Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DAS). Participants also completed Arabic/English versions of Nolen-Hoeksema's ruminative response styles (RRS) scale and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II).
Correlation and regression analyses showed depression to be associated with both RRS and dysfunctional attitudes.
The study supports the generalization of these clinically influential theories of depression within a UAE context.
贝克的抑郁认知理论和诺伦-霍克西玛的反应风格理论在阿拉伯人群中鲜有探讨。
本研究旨在调查这些具有临床影响力的模型在阿联酋居住的阿联酋公民中的普遍性。
采用机会抽样法，对 450 名本科参与者进行了威斯曼和贝克的功能失调态度量表（DAS）的阿拉伯语/英语 40 项版本的评估。参与者还完成了诺伦-霍克西玛的沉思反应风格（RRS）量表和贝克抑郁量表二（BDI-II）的阿拉伯语/英语版本。
相关和回归分析表明，抑郁与 RRS 和功能失调态度均有关。
该研究支持这些具有临床影响力的抑郁理论在阿联酋背景下的推广。
