Abstract

|
Objectives : Behavioral inhibition/behavioral activation systems (BIS/BAS) influence on one’s behavioral patterns. This study investigated that depressive patients with high BIS sensitivity tend to have high KIIP-SC score and people with high KIIP-SC score tend to have more interpersonal problems.
Methods : A total of 152 patients diagnosed with depressive disorders completed questionnaire measuring BIS/BAS, demographic, clinical characteristics such as depression, anxiety and interpersonal problems(KIIP-SC). We used multiple regression analysis to investigate the relevance of BIS/BAS sensitivity and KIIP-SC and its subscales.
Results : High BIS scores were associated with high scores of KIIP-SC and of subscales of the KIIP-SC ; cold, socially avoidant, nonassertive, exploitable, overly nurturant, and intrusive. High BAS scores were associated with high scores of domineering and intrusive area and with low scores of cold, socially avoidant, nonassertive areas. BAS scores were not associated with KIIP-SC scores. There was no significant difference on total KIIP-SC scores according to sex, meanwhile, men had higher domineering and vindictive area scores than women.
Conclusions : Depressed patients with behavioral inhibition systems had more interpersonal problems than those with behavioral activation systems. These findings suggest BIS scores are associated with interpersonal problems in patients with depressive disorders.
