Depression and interpersonal rejection (original) (raw)
1992, Clinical Psychology Review
Research on depression and interpersonal rejection was reviewed. Most of this research was generated by Coyne's (19766) model. The strongest support for Coyne's model was found when long-term relationships were examined, or when confederates or role-enactments were employed for short-term interactions. Fourfactors that may accountfor these results were discussed: (a) methodological and measurement issues, (b) the psychology of inevitability, (c) self; resentational factors and the situational nature of depression, and (d) the heterogeneity of depression. It was concluded that future researchers should (a) avoid using confederates and role enactments, (6) develop a theory to describe short-term interactions with depressed individuals, (c)focus more on the consequences of rejection (and other responses) for subsequent depressive behaviors, and (d) explore individual dzfferences in responses to depressed people.
