Results provide partial support for Radloff's original factor structure, the factors' internal reliability and independence, and the comparability of total scale means to the scale's normative data. Women scored higher on the total scale scores than men and also higher on the depressed, interpersonal and somatic factors, but not the positive factor, than men. The incidence of depression using Radloff's cut-point of 16 was lower in this Greek-Cypriot sample but aligned with Kessler's (2003) estimate of the incidence of depression in the general community.

In this study, 82 people with PD (M age = 68 years, SD = 9.4) completed questionnaires related to the duration of their illness, social support, coping, relationship satisfaction, and depression. The authors entered variables that correlated significantly with depressive mood into a multiple regression analysis, and the variables in the final model explained 64% of the variance in depressive mood. Gross motor impairment (beta = .45), blaming self (beta = .41), avoidance (beta = .33), symptom severity (beta = .21), and recreational intimacy (beta = -.14) were strong predictors of depressive mood. The authors discuss the findings in terms of interventions aimed at reducing the use of emotion-focused strategies, encouraging recreational intimacy among people with PD and their partners, and educational programs that provide information on PD symptoms, to promote positive mood and adjustment among people with PD.

Featured next are papers examining different facets of subjective well-being in the context of work environments and occupational stressors. The final part of the volume collectivelly focuses on theoretical, methodological, and empirical complexities routinely faced by studies investigating anxiety and related outcomes.

Research paper thumbnail of Anxiety in Chronic Liver Disease: Changes Post Transplantation

Quality of life, work, family and social roles are all impaired and these losses may also contribute to depression. This article investigated anxiety and depression associated with end-stage liver disease and changes in these mood states following successful liver transplantation. Patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis and healthy volunteers comprised the control groups. Signi®cant reductions in the measurement of anxiety and positive mood changes occurred as early as 1 month post transplant and were maintained across the course of the study. However, qualitative data suggest that discrete episodes of anxiety may still exist post transplant. These episodes appear to be related to maintaining the newly acquired`wellness' and availability of support. Most patients were able to resume work by 9 months post transplant.
