“…Such research generally concludes that the sense of self decreases along with the memory in people with DD, based on the supposition that remembrance of significant people and life events is key to the sense of self. In contrast, Clare and Caddell (2013b), in a study of people with early stage DD, found that the relationship between autobiographical memory and identity was weak, and likely to be more complex than previously assumed. When comparing this group to older people without DD, they found very few differences in sense of identity between the groups (Caddell & Clare, 2013a).…”

“…Negative emotions can be incorporated into a construct called negative affect. Depression is related to negative affect, but it is also different (Danhauer et al, 2013 ). Individuals may experience negative affect whether or not they are depressed (Danhauer et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Depression is related to negative affect, but it is also different (Danhauer et al, 2013 ). Individuals may experience negative affect whether or not they are depressed (Danhauer et al, 2013 ). Furthermore, depressed individuals tend to experience non-mood depressive symptoms (i.e., somatic, vegetative) as well as negative affect (Danhauer et al, 2013 ).…”

The Role of Character Strengths in Depression: A Structural Equation Model

et al. 2018

The main aim of present study was to develop a model that specifies the predictive effects of some character strengths in depression. Two hundred individuals with major depression were recruited from clinical psychology centers. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires measuring dysfunctional attitudes, basic emotions, character strengths, and depression. Seven character strengths of critical thinking, emotional intelligence, gratitude, forgiveness, hope, spirituality, and zest were selected to measure the latent variable of character strengths. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Normed chi-square, comparative fit index, incremental fit index, and other indices demonstrated an adequate fit for the model suggesting that character strengths had an indirect effect on depression through the mediation of dysfunctional attitudes, negative affect, and happiness. Character strengths had negative effects on dysfunctional attitudes and positive effects on happiness. The findings of present study have implications for practitioners and researchers to develop an integrative model for the treatment of depression.

“…The same conclusion was reached in the other part of the study, which examined the use of personal pronouns and attributes elicited in a semi-structured interview: when the rate of production was considered, the mean numbers of pronouns and attributes produced per minute were very similar for AD patients and for controls. Caddell and Clare (2013) reported that AD patients in the mild stage of the disease felt that little had changed considering their identities as a whole, even if most features they identified about themselves were different from those that characterized them prior to the onset of the disease. Most researchers are supporters of an inbetween thesis.…”

To cite this version:Marie-Lou Eustache, Mickael Laisney, Aurelija Juskenaite, Odile Letortu, Hervé Platel, et al. AbstractWe looked at whether sense of identity persists in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and if its profile remains the same between two examinations. A specifically designed protocol was administered to 16 AD patients in the mild to severe stages of dementia and to 16 matched healthy controls, both living in the same institution. We showed that sense of identity was broadly preserved in AD patients. The patterns of their responses were similar to those of controls, and remained consistent over a two-week period. However, some qualitative characteristics of sense of identity in AD patients differed significantly from those of controls, suggesting that AD patients may not be able to update their self-knowledge, probably because of their episodic memory deficit. These results are discussed in the light of both current models of the self and philosophical concepts such as sameness and selfhood.
