Abstract

This study investigated whether Sociotropy and the subscales of Autonomy (i.e., Perfectionistic/Self-critical, Need for Control, and Defensive Separation) would show differential patterns of vulnerability to dysphoria in both retrospective and prospective designs. Each of these scales showed a predicted pattern of association with life goals and impact ratings for negative events in a retrospective design. In a prospective design, the scales showed differential associations with goal obtainment and cognitive-affective responses to life events but did not predict follow-up dysphoria independently of baseline dysphoria. These results are discussed in terms of the multidimensionality of personality vulnerability and depressogenic negative life events along social, achievement, and control dimensions.

The definitions of these life domains that followed were formulated giving close reference to Beck's (1983) original exposition of the sociotropic and autonomous personality dimensions so as to insure their theoretical relevance to these constructs. Specifically, the social life domain was defined as “Feeling close to and liked by others,” the achievement domain was defined as “Feelings of accomplishment and ability,” and the independence domain was defined as “Feeling independent and having the freedom to make your own decisions, without feeling constrained or interfered with by intrusive circumstances or others.”
