Accordingly, older age, lower reported income, higher number of other children to be looked after, lower levels of satisfaction of basic needs, and more use of emotion focused coping wer...
Specificity of information processing styles to depressive symptoms in youth psychiatric inpatients
Gençöz, Tülin; Gençöz, Faruk; Joiner, TE (2001-06-01)

Analogously, even less effort has been directed toward examining the information processing styles of depressed children and adolescents. The present study investigated the specificity of information processing styles to depression and anxiety among 58 youth psychiatric inpatients. To assess informa...

Participants were 172 students and adults recruited in Ankara and Bolu, Turkey. Two separate sets of hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. In these analyses, ...
The relative specificity of excessive reassurance-seeking to depressive symptoms and diagnoses among clinical samples of adults and youth
Joiner, TE; Metalsky, GI; Gençöz, Faruk; Gençöz, Tülin (2001-03-01)
In addition to playing a role in the deterioration of depressed people's interpersonal environment, excessive reassurance-seeking may be implicated as a vulnerability factor for depression. If so, excessive reassurance-seeking should display relative specificity to depression versus other forms of psychopathology. Two studies of psychiatric inpatients (Study 1 on adults and Study 2 on children) tested this possibility. In Study 1 a Depressed group obtained higher reassurance-seeking scores than an Other Dis...
