“…It remains unclear whether the observed dysfunctional cognitions are specifically related to the illness of bipolar disorder or whether it is a general phenomenon of patients suffering from chronic illness. However, this result contradicts some experimental findings as well as the widely held belief that patients with bipolar disorders are less dysfunctional during the episode‐free interval than patients with major depression (9). Our findings support other authors who also pointed out the existence of subsyndromal symptoms in remitted bipolar patients (7, 8, 27–29).…”

“…In fact, clinical impression of these patients, particularly during their manic or euthymic interval, does not necessarily suggest the existence of a negative self‐concept. Between acute episodes, bipolar patients have been described as rather inconspicuous as compared with patients with major depression (9). Several studies found no significant differences between remitted bipolar patients on lithium prophylaxis and normal control subjects (10–14).…”

Based on a new model of productivity in age diverse tams, ¿ndings from a six-year research program are reported in which data from more than 745 natural teams with 8,848 employees in three different ¿elds (car production, administrative work, ¿nancial services) were collected. Moreover, central assumptions of this model were tested with a representative survey of the German workforce (N = 2,000). Results support both signi¿cant advantages and disadvantages for age-mixed teams. Based on the findings, the following preconditions for the effectiveness of age diverse teams are identi¿ed: high task complexity, low salience and high appreciation of age diversity, a positive team climate, low age-discrimination, ergonomic design of work places, and the use of age differentiated leadership. Based on these insights, we developed a new training for supervisors, which addresses the aforementioned aspects and seeks to improve team performance and health of team members. It was found that the training reduces age stereotypes, team conflicts and enhances innovation. Thus, we can conclude that effective interventions for a successful integration of elderly employees in work groups are available and that combinations of measures that address ergonomic design issues, team composition and leadership are to be strongly recommended for practice.

“…The internal/external dimension of causal attributions (ASQ) explained approximately 50% of the variance in pain intensity perception only after uncontrollable painful skin stimuli, whereas no correlation could be found after controllable painful stress despite identical physical properties. Only depressive symptoms (18) showed a low correlation with PPI ratings. Furthermore, depressive symptoms were moderately correlated with an internal attribution style for negative events, highlighting the validity of the present findings.…”

Depressive Attribution Style and Stressor Uncontrollability Increase Perceived Pain Intensity after Electrical Skin Stimuli in Healthy Young Men

Many patients with major depression report painful physical complaints (1). In addition, a large proportion of patients with chronic pain suffer from depression. Fibromyalgia is a disorder sharing common features of both depression and pain disorders (2,3). Recent studies have shown that higher perceived pain intensities and negative pain-related cognitions were associated with depression in chronic pain patients (4) and with lower quality of life in patients with major depression and pain complaints (5). However, it remains unclear whether specific depression-related cognitive schemata and states predispose to intensified pain perception and the development of chronic pain, or whether acute and chronic pain may worsen or even cause depression. The great impact of persistent painful states and pain treatment on depressive symptoms and related cognitions has been demonstrated (6). Accordingly, situational dysfunctional cognitions have been linked to lower thresholds and higher intensity ratings after experimentally induced pain, whereas dispositional measurements have not (7). The predictive properties of cognitive schemata associated with depression as risk factors for the development of painful states have, thus, been questioned.Basic research has revealed specific cognitive and emotionalaffective components of neurobiological pain processing (8-10), which likely contribute to the clinically relevant overlap between depressive and pain disorders. Specifically, uncontrollability and unpredictability of painful stressors have been demonstrated to be extremely important modifiers of pain perception (11-13). Unpleasantness and helplessness of potentially painful stimuli appear to be associated with increased BackgRounD: Depressive and pain symptoms often occur concurrently in patients with psychiatric disorders or somatic diseases, but the contribution of pre-existing dysfunctional cognitive schemata to pain perception remains unclear. oBJective: To investigate the relationship between depression-related attribution styles and perceived pain intensity (PPI) after controllable versus uncontrollable electrical skin stimulation in healthy male individuals. MethoDs: Causal attributions for negative events were measured using the attribution style questionnaire (ASQ) on the dimensions internal versus external (INT), global versus specific (GLO) and stable versus unstable (STA) in 50 men (20 to 31 years of age). Additionally, symptoms of anxiety and depression (measured using the Depression Scale) as well as baseline helplessness were assessed. Participants were randomly assigned to receive self-administered (controllable) or experimenter-administered (uncontrollable) painful skin stimuli. PPI was assessed after stress exposure using a visual analogue scale (0 to 100). Relationships between PPI and depression-related cognitions were calculated using correlation and multiple regression analyses. Results: Correlation analyses revealed a moderate correlation between PPI and ASQ-INT scores (r=0.46). Following uncontrollable ...
