“…Thus, the present study failed to provide evidence for the significance of cognitive factors as predictors of depressive symptoms. This is in contradiction with previous studies indicating the importance of both global (Czyz, Horwitz, & King, 2016;Horwitz et al, 2017;Strunk et al, 2006) and situational expectations (Kube et al, 2018b). Further, it is inconsistent with findings from studies examining cognitions other than expectations as predictors of depressive symptoms, such as dysfunctional attitudes (Alloy et al, 2006;Burns & Spangler, 2001;Jarrett et al, 2012).…”

“…With reference to the cognitive model of depression (Beck et al, 1979), it has been hypothesized that situational expectations may constitute an important link between global beliefs, such as intermediate beliefs and dispositional optimism, and depressive symptoms. This hypothesis could recently be confirmed: the effects of both intermediate beliefs and dispositional optimism on depressive symptoms were mediated via situational expectations (Kube et al, 2018a(Kube et al, , 2018b. To add to this line of research, the present study used longitudinal data of both healthy and depressed people to compare the predictive values of situational vs. more global cognitions in the context of depressive symptoms.…”

“…High sum scores of the DES reflect a greater endorsement of dysfunctional expectations. In three previous studies, the DES has shown good psychometric properties (Kube et al, , 2018a(Kube et al, , 2018b. Specifically, internal consistency ranged in previous studies between α = .87 and α = .93; one-year retest reliability was r = 0.430; correlations with measures of depressive symptoms were high (correlation with the PHQ 9: r = .754, correlation with the BDI-II: r = .572 and r = .527, respectively).…”

The cognitive model of depression assumes that depressive symptoms are influenced by dysfunctional cognitions. To further specify this model, the present study aimed to examine the influence of different types of cognitions on depressive symptoms, i.e., situational expectations and global cognitions. It was hypothesized that situational expectations predict depressive symptoms beyond global cognitions. The present study examined a clinical (N = 91) and a healthy sample (N = 80) using longitudinal data with a baseline assessment and a follow-up five months later. Although the study was not designed as an interventional trial, participants from the clinical study received non-manualized cognitive-behavioral treatment after the baseline assessment. We examined situational expectations, intermediate beliefs, dispositional optimism, and generalized expectancies for negative mood regulation as predictors of depressive symptoms. Hypotheses were tested using multiple hierarchical linear regression analyses. Results indicate that, although there were significant correlations between the cognitive factors and depressive symptoms, in both samples neither global cognitions, nor situational expectations significantly predicted depressive symptoms at the five-month follow-up. The present study could, contrary to the hypotheses, not provide evidence for a significant impact of cognitive vulnerabilities on depressive symptoms, presumably due to high drop-out rates at follow-up. Limitations of the study and directions for future research are critically discussed. Situational and global cognitions were examined as predictors of depressive symptoms. In a healthy and a clinical sample, cognitive factors were correlated with depressive symptoms. However, in both samples depressive symptoms at follow-up were not predicted by cognitive factors. Situational and global cognitions were examined as predictors of depressive symptoms. In a healthy and a clinical sample, cognitive factors were correlated with depressive symptoms. However, in both samples depressive symptoms at follow-up were not predicted by cognitive factors.

Prospection (mentally simulating future events) generates emotionally charged mental images that guide social decision-making. Positive and negative social expectancies -imagining new social interactions to be rewarding vs. threatening -are core components of social approach and avoidance motivation, respectively. Stable individual differences in such positive and negative future-related cognitions may be underpinned by distinct neuroanatomical substrates. Here, we asked 100 healthy adults to vividly imagine themselves in a novel selfrelevant social scenario that was ambiguous with regards to possible social acceptance or rejection. During this task we measured their expectancies for social reward (e.g. anticipated feelings of social connection) or threat (e.g. anticipated feelings of rejection). On a separate day they underwent structural MRI; voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to explore the relation between their social reward and threat expectancies and regional grey matter volumes (rGMV). Increased rGMV in key regions involved in prospection, subjective valuation and emotion regulation (including ventromedial prefrontal cortex), correlated with both higher social reward and lower social threat expectancies. In contrast, social threat expectancies were uniquely linked with rGMV of regions involved in social attention (posterior superior temporal sulcus) and interoception (somatosensory cortex). These findings provide novel insight into the neurobiology of future-oriented cognitiveaffective processes critical to adaptive social functioning.

Does social influence turn pessimistic consumers green?

The current research investigates the role of social influence on pessimistic consumers' approach toward organic food consumption using the self‐focused regulations theoretical framework. It also examines the mediating and moderating role of environmental concern and social influence on the proposed relationships, respectively. An e‐survey was conducted on 300 Indian consumers. The findings reveal that pessimistic consumers do not typically consume organic food. However, they have a strong concern for the environment, which, in turn, is likely to change them into optimistic consumers who begin to consume organic foods. Further, social influence significantly motivates pessimistic consumers to adopt organic foods and reduces the concern‐behavior gap. The study provides significant implications for organic food marketers and retailers.
