Popis: | Depressed and socially anxious individuals were compared in terms of their social self-perceptions using the interpersonal problem circle, a conceptualization of the domain of interpersonal problems derived from Horowitz' Inventory of Interpersonal Problems. Subjects who were socially anxious, whether depressed or not, differed significantly from a control group of nondepressed, nonanxious subjects on both dimensions of problematic social behavior. These subjects characterized themselves as nonassertive and socially avoidant. Individuals who were depressed but not socially anxious were no different than control subjects in their social self-perceptions. These results suggest that beliefs and self-perceptions concerning characteristic patterns of interpersonal behavior may distinguish individuals with various types of affective complaints. |
