“…In the total sample, 19.3% endorsed IDDL items suggesting the presence of a lifetime history of depression, a finding similar to those of other researchers evaluating depression among college students (e.g. Wong & Whitaker, 1994). A significantly higher proportion of women reported the presence of a lifetime history of depression compared to men and women reported significantly higher scores than men on LES scores.…”

“…The study was approved by the University IRB. The mean age was 19.1 years ( SD = 2.0); most students were freshmen, a time associated with increased depression among college students (Wong & Whitaker, 1994). The majority of the participants self-identified as European Americans (73.5%); others identified themselves as Asian/Pacific Islanders (9.8%), Hispanics (2.6%), African Americans (2.0%), and Native Americans (0.3%).…”

Gender differences in the moderating role of dysfunctional attitudes in the relationship between life stress and depressive symptoms were examined with and without controlling for the presence of lifetime history of depression. When lifetime history of depression was controlled, dysfunctional attitudes played a moderating role in the relationship between life stress and depressive symptoms for both men and women. However, when lifetime history of depression was not controlled, dysfunctional attitudes moderated the relationship of life stress and depressive symptoms for women only. The results suggest gender differences in the moderating role of dysfunctional attitudes may be contingent on lifetime history of depression and that past depression may exert differing effects for men and women.

“…Wong and Whitaker cross-validated predictors of future levels of depression among college students by using a battery of depression and psychosocial measures including Hudson's ISE [37,36]. The authors found that a measure of dysfunctional attitude, highly stable over time and combined with measures of stress and personality characteristics (specifically self-esteem), contributed significantly to the prediction of concurrent depression.…”

Abstract-Falling is associated with psychosocial sequelae that may influence functional performance and fall risk. Exercise can improve psychosocial factors. To address the research questions (1) Do psychosocial variables differ among persons with and without falls? and (2) Among persons who fall, can exercise improve psychosocial variables? we evaluated psychosocial and functional performance variables in older persons with and without recent falls. A pretest and posttest design with a nonequivalent control group was used. Community-residing elderly individuals participated, 66 had falls in the past year (fallers) and 77 had no falls (nonfallers). Participants completed measures of self-esteem, depression, psychological impact, and functional performance at baseline and 6 weeks. Baseline descriptive characteristics for fallers and nonfallers were similar. Fallers then completed a 6-week exercise program. Exercise benefited fallers' self-esteem, depression, mobility, social role, social activity, and anxiety. Nearly 40% of fallers were clinically depressed before exercise and 24% were depressed after (p = 0.04). Psychosocial variables correlated significantly with quality of functional performance (p < 0.019). Among fallers, moderate exercise produced a significant improvement in psychosocial variables and functional performance (p < 0.045).

“…Self-esteem has also been identified as a potential predictor of outcome. It is a good candidate because it is a predictor of subsequent depression in naturalistic investigations (Brown, Andrews, Harris, Adler, & Bridge, 1986;Johnson, Meyer, Winett, & Small, 2000;Miller, Kreitman, Ingham, & Sashidharan, 1989;Roberts, Kassel, & Gotlib, 1995;Vostanis, Feehan, & Grattan, 1998;Wong & Whitaker, 1994), with Johnson et al's (2000) suggesting that self-esteem exerts its effect by mediating the effects of social support. In keeping with these expectations, self-esteem has been able to predict outcome at posttreatment (Bothwell & Scott, 1997;Roberts, Shapiro, & Gamble, 1999) and follow-up (Andrew, Hawton, Fagg, & Westbrook, 1993).…”

An attempt was made to predict outcomes following group Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for patients with affective and neurotic disorders. A group of 348 patients at a private psychiatric clinic, treated in a group CBT program, completed the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) before and after treatment. Prior to treatment, data from the Locus of Control of Behavior (LCB), a Global Assessment of Function (GAF), the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS), and the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSE) were also collected. Results indicated that posttreatment stress scores of all patients were predicted by pretreatment stress and self-esteem. Among patients with neurotic disorders, posttreatment anxiety was predicted by initial anxiety and self-esteem whereas among patients with affective disorders, posttreatment anxiety scores were predicted by initial anxiety and GAF. For patients with neurotic disorders, self-esteem did not predict variance in posttreatment depression in addition to that explained by pretreatment depression. In contrast, for patients with affective disorders, pretreatment depression and Locus of Control predicted posttreatment depression.
