Objective:Nolen-Hoeksema asserted that people have a consistent and unique response style to depression. The interpersonal differences in vulnerability and persisting time of depression can be explained by such a variability of interpersonal response style to depressive mood. We compared the differences of depressed mood response style between acutely remitted non-depressive group(n=28) and currently depressive group(n=18). We tried to investigate what kind of response style is most responsible for the remission and persisting of depression.
Method:We divided patients who were diagnosed as depression with ICD-10 criteria and being treated by pharmacotherapy into two groups by KDS(Korean Depression Scale). One is acutely remitted non-depressive group and another is currently depresssive group. And we checked depressed mood response style questionnaire(DMRQ).
Results:There were significant differences in DMRQ subscales between two groups. Non-depressive group showed more problem-solving(t=2.325, sig.=.026), more mood-controlling(t=2.054, sig.=.046) and less ruminative(t=-3.619, sig.=.001) response style subscale than depressive group. There was no significant difference in the mood-avoiding response style(t=-1.406, sig.=.167).
Conclusions:We concluded that problem-solving and mood controlling response styles can act as a mediator that decrease the severity of depression during treatment of depressive patients. On the while, the ruminative response style can be a mediator that persist depressive symptom and prohibit the recovery of patient from depression.
