Beck's content specificity hypothesis predicts distinct cognitive content within specific psychological disorders. We evaluated whether the third component of the "cognitive triad", negative view of the future (hopelessness), would be related 4 weeks later to depressive symptoms, but not to anxiety. University student participants (83 females, 71 males) were tested on the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory at two points in time, separated by 4 weeks. The Hopelessness Scale was administered at time 1 and a Life Events Inventory at time 2. Concurrent cognitive content specificity was replicated. For males only, hopelessness predicted future depression severity scores, but not anxiety. Hopelessness predicted depressive symptoms over and above life event stressors, but not vice versa.
贝克的内容特异性假说预测，特定心理障碍中存在独特的认知内容。我们评估了“认知三联征”的第三个成分，即对未来的消极看法（绝望），在4周后是否与抑郁症状相关，而与焦虑无关。大学生参与者（83名女性，71名男性）在两个时间点接受了贝克抑郁量表和贝克焦虑量表测试，间隔4周。在时间1施测绝望量表，在时间2施测生活事件量表。重复了同时期的认知内容特异性。仅对男性而言，绝望预测了未来的抑郁严重程度得分，但不能预测焦虑。绝望在生活事件应激源之外还能预测抑郁症状，但反之则不然。
