| Popis: | A considerable amount of evidence has accumulated indicating a greater rate of depression among females compared to males. In addition, recent investigations have revealed distinct patterns of depressive responding as a function of sex. The present study provided a cross-validational test of findings reported by Funabiki and colleagues. Male and female college students indicated the likelihood that they would engage in 79 behavioral analytically derived behaviors or cognitions if depressed. Stepwise discriminant function analyses were performed to determine maximum separation of male and female responses. This procedure yielded a 55.6% overall variable cross-validation rate. Many of the findings were consistent with Radloff and Rae's theoretical view of sex differences in learned susceptibility to depression. The data also suggest several avenues for future research and support the utility of investigating theories of depression within the context of a continuity between normal mood states and depressive phenomena. |
