“…The results presented by Paredes & Calvete, 37 which we rated to be moderate quality, suggests that a certain cognitive vulnerability, brooding, may be a modifiable predictor of depression. This was a three-phase longitudinal study of 998 adolescents aged 13 to 17.…”

Modifiable predictors of depression following childhood maltreatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2017

Although maltreatment experiences in childhood increase the risk for depression, not all maltreated children become depressed. This review aims to systematically examine the existing literature to identify modifiable factors that increase vulnerability to, or act as a buffer against, depression, and could therefore inform the development of targeted interventions. Thirteen databases (including Medline, PsychINFO, SCOPUS) were searched (between 1984 and 2014) for prospective, longitudinal studies published in English that included at least 300 participants and assessed associations between childhood maltreatment and later depression. The study quality was assessed using an adapted Newcastle–Ottawa Scale checklist. Meta-analyses (random effects models) were performed on combined data to estimate the effect size of the association between maltreatment and depression. Meta-regressions were used to explore effects of study size and quality. We identified 22 eligible articles (N=12 210 participants), of which 6 examined potential modifiable predictors of depression following maltreatment. No more than two studies examined the same modifiable predictor; therefore, it was not possible to examine combined effects of modifiable predictors with meta-regression. It is thus difficult to draw firm conclusions from this study, but initial findings indicate that interpersonal relationships, cognitive vulnerabilities and behavioral difficulties may be modifiable predictors of depression following maltreatment. There is a lack of well-designed, prospective studies on modifiable predictors of depression following maltreatment. A small amount of initial research suggests that modifiable predictors of depression may be specific to maltreatment subtypes and gender. Corroboration and further investigation of causal mechanisms is required to identify novel targets for intervention, and to inform guidelines for the effective treatment of maltreated children.

“…In a long-term prospective cohort study, Widom and colleagues (2008) found that adults who had experienced court-documented abuse and neglect in childhood ( n = 496) reported significantly higher rates of additional traumas by age 40 relative to a socioeconomically matched control group with no such history ( n = 396) (Widom, Czaja, & Dutton, 2008). Similarly, other longitudinal studies have found that individuals exposed to sexual or physical abuse early in life are significantly more likely to experience re-victimization later in life (Culatta, Clay-Warner, Boyle, & Oshri, 2017; Fisher et al, 2015; Noll, Horowitz, Bonanno, Trickett, & Putnam, 2003; Padilla Paredes & Calvete, 2014; Rich, Gidycz, Warkentin, Loh, & Weiland, 2005). …”

Socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with increased exposure to victimization and traumatic stress. The present study evaluates longitudinal pathways linking victimization and trauma to depressive symptoms in a socioeconomically disadvantaged sample of African-American adolescent girls seeking mental health services (N = 177, 12-16 years old at baseline). Girls completed four assessments over the course of three years (T1-T4). Depressive symptoms were assessed at T1-T3 using clinical interviews and questionnaires. At T4, lifetime history of victimization and traumatic stressors was evaluated with in-person interviews. Separate structural equation models tested longitudinal pathways from stressor frequency, severity, and duration to depressive symptoms. In all three models, higher levels of victimization and traumatic stressors were associated with significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms. More frequent stressors prior to T1 directly predicted depressive symptoms at T1 and indirectly predicted depressive symptoms at T2, which, in turn, predicted depressive symptoms at T3. A similar pattern emerged in the stressor severity and duration models. Findings support the idea that victimization and traumatic stressors are associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms and that, among treatment-seeking low-income adolescent girls, these effects occur through both direct and indirect paths. Implications of these findings are discussed in the context of the stress-generation and stress proliferation models of psychopathology.

“…Providing more proximal assessments of childhood abuse are four studies featuring either child samples (Gibb & Abela, , n = 140; Gibb, Stone, & Crossett, , n = 100; Mezulis, Hyde, & Abramson, , n = 289) or an adolescent sample (Padilla Paredes & Calvete, , n = 1,316). Negative inferential styles have been associated with parental CEA (Gibb & Abela, , n = 140; Padilla Paredes & Calvete, ) and peer victimization in youth (Mezulis et al., ; Padilla Paredes & Calvete, ). There is some evidence that negative inferential styles may be particularly related to relational victimization (i.e., victimization intended to inflict harm on an individual's social standing and peer relationships) rather than overt victimization (i.e., direct physical victimization, including hitting and kicking; Gibb et al., ).…”

Since the formulation of the hopelessness theory of depression (Abramson, Metalsky, & Alloy, 1989) a quarter century ago, it has garnered considerable interest. The current paper presents a systematic review of this theory including its subsequent elaborations (Rose and Abramson’s [1992] developmental elaboration, Abela and Sarin’s [2002] weakest-link approach, Panzarella, Alloy, and Whitehouse’s [2006] expansion of the hopelessness theory, and the hopelessness theory of suicide [Abramson et al., 2000]), followed by recommendations for future study. Although empirical support was consistently found for several major components of the hopelessness theory, further work is required assessing this theory in relation to clinically significant phenomena. Among the most significant hindrances to advancement in this area is the frequent conceptual confusion between the hopelessness theory and the reformulated learned helplessness theory.
