“…Although the scores on the CDI at baseline for the ND group differed signifi cantly from the CD group, the ND group had a mean CDI score of 9, in some studies used as a cut-off score to identify children with mild depressive symptomatology (see e.g., Rudolph, Hammen, & Burge, 1997;Shirk, Boergers, Eason, & Van Horn, 1998). Still, similar results appeared when we statistically controlled for current depressive symptoms.…”

This study examined cognitive vulnerability in both depressed and non-depressed referred youngsters. Formerly depressed (FD) children and adolescents (n = 16) were compared to a currently depressed (CD) group (n = 18) on a self-referent encoding and memory task imbedded in a mood induction paradigm. In order to test the specificity of the findings to depression, the results of the FD were further compared with those of a clinical but never depressed (ND) group (n = 39) diagnosed with anxiety and/or disruptive behaviour disorders. The study confirmed the hypothesized differences between the groups in terms of self-referent encoding bias. Both the ND (p < 0.001) and FD (p < 0.001) group rated more positive words than negative words as self-descriptive while the CD endorsed a closer balance of positive and negative words (non-significant difference). No interaction effect was found for the recall task. The FD group evinced a similar memory bias than the CD group. However, also in the ND group, the number of proportional recalled positive words did not differ from the proportional recalled negative words. The findings yielded no evidence for a depression-specific information-processing bias. However, all subjects (FD, CD as well as ND) exhibited a memory bias and therefore 'clinical status' is considered as a cognitive vulnerability risk factor for developing a depressive disorder in the future.

“…Related to Sandler and colleagues’ study (1992) is an Outcome specific study, which represents the sole study to include specificity of moderator in their theory‐based specificity design. Shirk, Boergers, Eason, and Van Horn (1998) hypothesized that interpersonal stress would predict depression, but not hostility, symptoms in a sample of 8th grade youth and that interpersonal schema would moderate the relation between interpersonal stress and depression, but not hostility, symptoms. The authors report support for both their hypotheses.…”

Research on the relations between specific stressors and specific psychological outcomes among children and adolescents is reviewed. Specificity, the notion that particular risk factors are uniquely related to particular outcomes is discussed from a theoretical perspective, and models of specificity are described. Several domains of stressors are examined from a specificity framework (e.g., exposure to violence, abuse, and divorce/marital conflict) in relation to broad-band outcomes of internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Studies that tested for specificity conducted within the past 15 years are examined, and definitional problems are highlighted. Little evidence for specificity was found. Methodological problems in the literature and the lack of theory-driven specificity research are discussed, and directions for future research are identified.

“…There is also evidence that positive schemas may be inversely related to psychopathology (Keyfitz et al 2013;Prieto et al 1992: MacLeod andMoore 2000;Shirk et al 1998). When considering depression specifically, depression is often qualified by both the presence of negative schemas and the absence of positive schemas (MacLeod and Byrne 1996;MacLeod and Moore 2000;MacLeod and Salaminiou 2001).…”

Bipolar Spectrum Disorder (BSD) is a severe psychiatric disorder, and relatively little is known about positive outcomes for youth with this diagnosis. Employing a multi-informant, mixed-methods approach, this study sought to a) gain a deeper understanding of positive factors identified by youth with a diagnosis of BSD and their caregivers; and b) understand how the parenting context relates to positive functioning among youth with a diagnosis of BSD. A clinical sample of 18 families with a youth diagnosed with BSD participated, completing measures of parenting style, resiliency, positive schemas, mania, depression, and a telephone interview with a qualitative component. Qualitative analyses revealed most caregivers described their youth with BSD as having strong interpersonal relationship qualities and positive internal characteristics. Youth responses cohered largely with caregiver responses. Parental acceptance related to all measures of positive functioning, and results further suggested positive schemas may be one mechanism linking parental acceptance to resiliency for youth with BSD. Despite the severity of a BSD diagnosis, caregivers and youth reported on many positive aspects of their experiences. These results also inform a more complex view of the relation between parenting and resiliency for youth with BSD. With replication, the findings from this preliminary sample may inform the design of future measures of positive functioning for youth with BSD and inform the development of treatment and intervention programs for families coping with BSD.
