Prospective cognitions in anxiety and depression: Replication and methodological extension

Stoeber, Joachim (2000) Prospective cognitions in anxiety and depression: Replication and methodological extension. Cognition and Emotion, 14 (5). pp. 725-729. ISSN 0269-9931. (doi:10.1080/02699930050117693) (KAR id:18982)

Abstract

The present study presents a replication and methodological extension of MacLeod, Tata, Kentish, and Jacobsen (1997) with a nonclinical sample, using future-directed imagery to assess prospective cognitions. Results showed that only anxiety (but not depression) was related to enhanced imagery for future negative events. Both anxiety and depression showed significant zero-order correlations with reduced imagery for future positive events. However, when the overlap between anxiety and depression was controlled for, only depression (but not anxiety) showed a unique association with reduced imagery for positive events. Implications of these findings for cognitive models of anxiety and depression are discussed.
