| Abstract: | The present investigation evaluated the validity of the Children's Depressive Correlates Inventory (CDCI), a recently developed measure of cognitive style in children, which attempts to measure attributional style for negative events, expectations for future events, punitiveness of parent, and contingency of punishment. The study also investigated the relationship between childhood depression and cognitive thinking style. Results indicated that the CDCI has poor reliability and validity. There was also no support found for a relationship between clinical depression and depressogenic thinking style in children. The author suggests that the lack of support for the "helplessness" model of depression, may lend credence to the "hopelessness" model as a subtype of depression. The question of sufficient negative life events interacting with cognitive style in depression is also addressed. |
