“…This may change their expectancy of being able to regulate negative moods in the future. In turn, this reduction in NMR expectancies may increase the risk for recurrence, because NMR expectancies have been shown to predict future depression [10,18,19,20]. This study tests the hypothesis that a higher number of previous MDEs is associated with lower NMR expectancies.…”

Generalized Expectancies for Negative Mood Regulation and Major Depressive Disorder: The Role of Previous Depressive Episodes and Comorbid Mental Disorders

et al. 2011

Background: Generalized expectancies for negative mood regulation (NMR) have important consequences for the ability to regulate negative mood. This study tests two resulting hypotheses. NMR expectancies should correlate with the number of previous depressive episodes. Furthermore, there should be a correlation between NMR expectancies and the number of DSM-IV axis I disorders comorbid to depression. In order to test these hypotheses with an efficient instrument, this article presents the NMR-SF as a short form of the NMR Scale. Methods: During inpatient treatment, a sample of 40 depressed patients was interviewed by a clinical psychologist with the Structural Clinical Interview for DSM-IV to assess the number of previous depressive episodes as well as the number of axis I comorbidities. Patients completed the NMR-SF to measure NMR expectancies. Additionally, a nonclinical sample of 560 participants completed the NMR-SF to test its reliability and validity. Results: The findings indicate that the NMR-SF is reliable and valid. In the clinical sample, NMR expectancies did not correlate significantly with the number of previous depressive episodes. There was a significant correlation between NMR expectancies and the number of comorbid mental disorders. Conclusion: Previous depressive episodes do not seem to result in lower NMR expectancies. The findings are in line with the hypothesis that NMR expectancies are involved in the etiology of mental disorders comorbid to depression.

“…Low negative mood regulation expectancies are able to effectively predict exacerbations in depressive symptoms over time [3,7]. Davis and colleagues [8] examined predictors of a depressed mood at a 1-year follow-up in a sample of undergraduate psychology students. Results showed that negative mood regulation expectancies were the only significant predictor of depressed mood.…”

“…In addition, the NMR Scale has been used with family caregivers [12] and athletes [13]. The NMR Scale appears to be a stable measure that can predict a long-term mood state [8]. Although the use of the NMR Scale in clinical populations is limited, it has been used with people in substance disorder treatment facilities [2].…”

The present study was designed to evaluate patient expectations regarding their ability to manage negative emotional reactions. Strategies for managing negative emotional reactions were classified in terms of a focus on affect regulation, behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, and social involvement. Depressed psychiatric inpatients (N=137) reported weak expectations regarding their ability to regulate their negative moods (M = 82.37, SD = 16.61). Depression severity was closely related to male patients' expectations regarding their ability to control negative moods through affect regulation (r(44)=- 0.37, P<0.05), behavioral activation (r(44)=- 0.59, P< 0.01), cognitive restructuring (r(44)- 0.50, P<0.01), and social involvement (r(44)=- 0.33, P<0.05). Suicide risk was significantly related to male patients' expectations regarding their ability to control negative moods. Similar results were observed for female patients. Recent suicide attempters, past attempters, and non-suicidal depressed inpatients reported similar mood regulation expectations (F(2,134)=0.46, ns). Therapy may help patients develop confidence in their ability to manage negative emotional reactions. It may be useful to assess patient expectations in order to guide therapy toward specific coping actions that may help them control their negative moods.

The role of expectancies regarding negative mood regulation in improving the mood states of undergraduate students when they experience both negative and positive life events was investigated. In Study 1, a Japanese language scale for measuring expectancies for negative mood regulation (NMR scale) was developed. In Study 2, undergraduates (n ＝ 95) completed the NMR scale twice within an interval of ve-weeks. They also completed a self-rating depression scale and a scale of life events in interpersonal and achievement domains. The results indicated that participants with high NMR scores did not experience depression when they faced negative events, if they concurrently experienced positive life events. These results suggest that expectancies for negative mood regulation alleviate the negative mood states by using a mood regulation strategy moderated by positive life events, and predict the level of depression.
