Development and Validation of the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale for Children: Tests of Beck’s Cognitive Diathesis-stress Theory of Depression, of Its Causal Mediation Component, and of Developmental Effects

David U. D’Alessandro, Kimberly D. Burton

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 335-353

Two studies investigated Beck’s cognitive diathesis-stress theory of depression in children. Study 1 sought to develop and validate the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale for Children (DAS-C). Children (N = 453, ages 8–14) completed an item pool and measures assessing divergent validity, with a readministration 3 weeks later. The finalized DAS-C is a 22-item self-report measure with sound psychometric...

Social Anxiety and the Fear of Causing Discomfort to Others

Neil A. Rector, Nancy L. Kocovski, Andrew G. Ryder

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 279-296

Patients with social phobia frequently report fearing that their symptoms of anxiety will adversely affect the comfort and performance of others, but these fears are not typically included in traditional measures. In Study 1, an initial 26-item pool was developed to assess this fear dimension and then administered in conjunction with measures of social phobia, anxiety and depression, to undergraduate...

Effects of Approach and Avoid Mindsets on Performance, Self-regulatory Cognition, and Affect in a Multi-task Environment

Paul Karoly, Craig Newton

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 355-376

Despite numerous studies of approach- and avoidant mindsets, relatively little research has addressed the impact of such motivational orientations on performance and emotion in a real-time, multi-task setting. A laboratory simulation is reported that examines the influence of an induced approach-centered, an avoidance-centered, and a “neutral” motivational mindset upon multiple aspects of task performance,...

A Self-Focused Attention Scale: Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties

Litza A. Kiropoulos, Steven Klimidis

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 297-306

The psychometric properties of a Self-Focused Attention Scale (SFAS) were examined in Greek-born immigrants and Anglo-Australians. Factor analysis on SFAS items yielded four factors, interpretable as those obtained in previous research despite differences in age between the current sample and previous samples employed in SFA research. Analyses supported the distinctions between private and public...

Cognitive-Behavioral Models of Emotional Writing: A Validation Study

Adam J. Guastella, Mark R. Dadds

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 397-414

Previous research suggests that the Pennebaker writing paradigm may improve physical and psychological health; however, inconsistent findings suggest that it may not be suitable for community dissemination in its current format. This study manipulated writing instructions across groups in order to emphasise putative emotional processes. Three processes were isolated consistent with Cognitive-Behavioral...

Multiple Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Young Schema-Questionnaire in a Dutch Clinical versus Non-clinical Population

Marleen M. Rijkeboer, Huub Bergh

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 263-278

So far, results on the dimensionality of the Young Schema-Questionnaire (YSQ) were based on exploratory factor analysis. In this study, confirmatory techniques were used to investigate the latent structure of the YSQ and its measurement invariance across a Dutch clinical (n = 172) and non-clinical (n = 162) sample. Data support the 16 factor structure as originally hypothesized by Young (Young, J...

Extreme Goal Setting and Vulnerability to Mania Among Undiagnosed Young Adults

Sheri L. Johnson, Charles S. Carver

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 377-395

During euthymia people with bipolar disorder and their unaffected family members accomplish more than the general population. People with bipolar disorder, or those who are at risk for it, also set higher goals in laboratory tasks than other people. The work reported here examines whether persons vulnerable to mania set elevated goals in their lives. In two studies, a measure of lifetime vulnerability...

Expanded Hopelessness Theory of Depression: On the Mechanisms by which Social Support Protects Against Depression

Catherine Panzarella, Lauren B. Alloy, Wayne G. Whitehouse

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2006 > 30 > 3 > 307-333

The inverse relationship between social support and depression has been robust to a wide variety of conceptual replications with college, community, and clinical samples. However, there is inadequate understanding of the mechanisms by which social support protects against depression. In this paper, we define a subtype of social support, adaptive inferential feedback, which is more precise than the...
