2019, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :In this personality type, depression most likely occurs upon the failure to accomplish desired goals, and is expressed through feelings of defeat, inferiority, and hopelessness (Fazaa and Page, 2005, 2003; Robins et al., 1997). In support of Beck's (1983) proposal, various studies have identified high levels of sociotropy and autonomy to be associated with depression and general life stress (Frewen and Dozois, 2006; Nietzel and Harris, 1990; Sato and McCann, 2000). Moreover, a recent prospective study by O'Keefe et al. (2016) identified that autonomy, mediated by depression, predicts future TB and PB.

2017, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :It should be noted that the anaclitic personality dimension is based on disorders in interpersonal relations which are essentially experienced with feelings of loneliness, abandonment and frustration, thus presenting high vulnerability to loss. Relations are relatively undifferentiated, incorporative, focused on gratification, since there is a constant demand for the visible and physical presence of others (e.g., Blatt, 2008; Blatt & Luyten, 2009; Blatt & Zuroff, 1992; Nietzel & Harris, 1990; Ouimette & Klein, 1993). It should also be mentioned that the Neediness subscale reveals, per se, a more ill-adapted form of Dependency/immaturity - an excessive preoccupation with abandonment and separation, the feeling of not being liked, and fear of loss.
Is nonverbal behavior in patients and interviewers relevant to the assessment of depression and its recovery? A study with Dutch and Brazilian patients
2017, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Secondly, Beck (1983) hypothesized that sociotropy personality characteristics (e.g. a strong need for obtaining interpersonal acceptance and approval) could be an important marker of vulnerability to depression. Indeed, depressed patients tend to show elevated scores of sociotropy compared to non-depressed controls (Nietzel and Harris, 1990), and a decrease of them occurs when there is clinical improvement (Moore and Blackburn, 1996), although sociotropy may not be necessarily associated with relapse (Backs-Dermott et al., 2010). As the higher speaking effort behavior in the non-responders/non-remitters of the present study represents an increase in their nonverbal look for interpersonal support, one may speculate whether speaking effort is connected with interpersonal dependence and higher levels of patients’ sociotropy.
