THE THOUGHTS WITHIN: COGNITIVE STYLES AS MEDIATORS BETWEEN PERCEIVED PARENTING AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

Given the high degree of comorbidity between depression and anxiety and their impact on quality of life, knowledge of shared and unique factors implicated in their development is critical. Although research has linked parenting behaviors and negative schemas with their development, little is known about how specific parenting behaviors affect schema development. The present study explored the relation between perceived parenting, dysfunctional attitudes about the self and anxiety, and aspects of affective symptomatology. Lower levels of parental care were associated with both dysfunctional attitudes and anxiety sensitivity, and parental overprotection was specifically associated with negative beliefs about anxiety. Although dysfunctional attitudes uniquely predicted symptoms of depression, beliefs about anxiety were nonspecific predictors of affective symptomatology. The present findings provide support for assessing specific elements of parenting, cognitive styles, and affective symptomatology independently. Implications for understanding the development of affective disorders and identification of targets for preventive and treatment interventions are discussed

Acid-base titrations for polyacids: Significance of the pK sub a and parameters in the Kern equation

A new method is suggested for calculating the dissociation constants of polyvalent acids, especially polymeric acids. In qualitative form the most significant characteristics of the titration curves are demonstrated and identified which are obtained when titrating the solutions of such acids with a standard base potentiometrically

Implicit Self-Esteem in Adolescents with Parental History of Depression

Although low explicit self-esteem has been strongly linked to Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) as both a symptom of and vulnerability for the disorder, little is known about the relation between implicit self-esteem and MDD. Prior research suggests that individuals with MDD or a history thereof display positive implicit self-esteem similar to or higher than that of controls. The present study examined the relation between implicit self-worth, as measured with an Implicit Association Test (IAT), parental bonding, and explicit self-esteem before and after a negative mood induction in individuals with (n=26) and without (n=21) a family history of MDD. Individuals with a family history of MDD displayed significantly higher implicit self-worth than controls following but not prior to the negative mood induction. Parental bonding and explicit self-esteem were unrelated to the implicit self-worth of either participant group. These findings suggest that increased implicit self-worth may characterize individuals vulnerable to developing MDD. Implications for future research are discussed
