儿童抑郁认知易感性的发展特点

相对稳定的负性认知特征会使个体容易发生抑郁,被称为抑郁认知易感性.文章总结并对比当前关于抑郁认知易感性的稳定性与可变性的观点,提出从儿童发展早期开始研究认知易感性因素的必要性.接着回顾消极归因方式、功能失调态度和冗思这三种认知易感性因素在儿童期的表现及其前期心理特征,试图找到抑郁认知易感性在个体发展中的连续性.建议今后探讨认知易感性因素在不同年龄的发展特点,关注发展早期认知易感性因素的测量.

Development of Children’s Cognitive Vulnerability to Depression

Several cognitive theories of depression vulnerability have been proposed, but development of these cognitive factors has not caught much attention. This paper reviews the research investigating development of cognitive vulnerability to depression (CVD) among children and adolescents. First, it is suggested that it is necessary to understand when CVD emerges and becomes relatively stable in childhood, especially early childhood. Second, development of three cognitive factors, including attributional styles, dysfunctional attitudes and rumination response style, were reviewed to support continuity of CVD. New insights and implications for assessment and etiology of CVD are discussed.
