Previous research shows that depression is associated with an increase in stressful life events and perceived stress as well as dysfunctional ways of coping with stress. However, knowledge about coping in previously depressed individuals is scant.
This study compared perceived stress, coping, and thought suppression in a sample of 30 currently depressed, 63 previously depressed, and 42 never depressed individuals.
Analysis of variance revealed that previously depressed individuals showed less wishful thinking and thought suppression than the currently depressed individuals, but scored significantly higher on these strategies than the never depressed individuals. However, the group differences became nonsignificant when controlling for perceived stress and intrusions.
This study shows that both current depression and previous depression is related to avoidant coping (wishful thinking and thought suppression). However, these associations might be explained by the higher level of perceived stress among individuals with current or previous depression.
先前的研究表明,抑郁与压力性生活事件和感知到的压力增加以及应对压力的功能失调方式有关。然而,关于先前抑郁个体的应对方式的知识还很匮乏。
本研究比较了 30 名当前抑郁、63 名曾有抑郁史和 42 名从未抑郁的个体的感知压力、应对方式和思维抑制。
方差分析显示,曾有抑郁史的个体比当前抑郁的个体更少地抱有不切实际的想法和思维抑制,但比从未抑郁的个体更多地使用这些策略。然而,当控制感知压力和侵入性思维时,组间差异变得无统计学意义。
本研究表明,当前的抑郁和以前的抑郁都与回避应对(不切实际的想法和思维抑制)有关。然而,这些关联可能是由当前或以前抑郁个体的感知压力水平较高所解释的。
