The purpose of this study was to begin a preliminary examination of constructs theorized to be related to suicidal behavior by testing a model of the influence of both temperament and emotion regulation on suicidal ideation and hopelessness in a sample of depressed older adults. The model was evaluated using structural equation modeling procedures in a sample of depressed, older adults. Finding...

The most powerful geometric tools are those of differential geometry, but to apply such techniques to finitely generated groups seems hopeless at first glance since the natural metric on a finitely generated group is discrete. However Gromov recognized that a group can metrically resemble a manifold in such a way that geometric results about that manifold carry over to the group [18, 20]. This ...

OBJECTIVES This study describes the perceptions of racism, passive and active responses to this psychosocial stressor, and it examines socioeconomic correlates of perceived racism in an economically diverse population of Black women. METHODS The Telephone-Administered Perceived Racism Scale was administered to 476 Black women, aged 36 to 53 years, who were randomly selected from a large healt...

A number of studies have supported the hypothesis that negative attributional styles may confer vulnerability to the development of depression. The goal of this study was to explore factors that may contribute to the development of negative attributional styles in children. As hypothesized, elevated levels of depressive symptoms and hopelessness at the initial assessment predicted negative chan...

is true. The exponent c3 can be reduced by Selberg's improvement of Brun's method, but it seems hopeless at present to decide about (3) . Jacobsthal also informed me that for r <_ 10 the value of C(r) is determined by n,.= 2, 3 . . . . p,., the p's being the consecutive primes, and that this perhaps holds for all values of r . Possibly the value of g(n,.') for n,'=n =1p,á+1 is already considera...

Providing a developmental extension of the cognitive theories of depression, researchers and theorists have suggested that during early to middle childhood, attributional styles may mediate rather than moderate the association between negative life events and the development of depression. Within the context of the hopelessness theory of depression, we tested this hypothesis in a 6-month longit...

The purpose of this study is to further examine the relationships among hopelessness, social desirability, and suicidal behavior in the decade-long dispute about the role of social desirability and the ability of the Beck Hopelessness Scale to predict suicidal behavior. Using a stratified random sample of state prison inmates, we found that hopelessness and suicidal behavior remain significantl...

Results: The analyses revealed that the group aged between 15-25 years reported fewer reasons for living, higher suicide probability, more hopelessness and loneliness, compared to older ages. Moreover, women reported more reasons for living, along with less loneliness and hopelessness. The regression analyses pointed out that age, education level, hopelessness, loneliness and reasons for living...

was hopeless. Where the infection is diffuse the prognosis is still very bad. But we have learnt that if in the earliest stage, when the trouble is still, we hope, circumscribed, we can remove the infective focus, the patient's chances of recovery are by no means poor. This emphasises the importance of deciding, quite at the beginning of any case of meningitis, whether an otorrhoea may be the f...

Cognitive theories of depression posit that automatically activated cognitive schemas, including negative thoughts about the self and the future, predispose individuals to develop depressive disorders. However, prior research has largely examined these constructs using explicit tests in currently depressed individuals. Using the Implicit Association Test (IAT), the present study examined automa...
