“…Then, the partner eventually develops his or her own depressive symptoms, hostile feelings, ambivalent support, and withdrawal from the depressed person 10, 12. Three decades of research have supported the idea of this interpersonal systemic response to depressive symptoms in couples 13–18. Several of these studies have examined the interactional model for depression in adults with heart disease 13, 14 as well as spinal cord injury 15–18 and found support for components of the model in medically ill populations.…”

“…Although the present results are consistent with previous analogue research utilizing actors with disability (e,g., Corcoran, Frank, & Elliott, 1988; Elliott & Frank, 1989), the effects of nondisabled actors depicting disability on subjects' reactions are unknown. Similarly, it is possible that student reactions to actors in the videotaped interactions may have influenced subjects' reactions.…”

Subjects viewed a videotaped interview of a confederate who appeared to be either with or without a physical disability, and who enacted either depressed or socially appropriate roles. Subjects were also told either they could choose to meet the target, they had to meet the target immediately following the tape, or nothing in regards to meeting the target. Results indicated that subjects reported higher levels of negative mood when they expected to meet the target, and depressed targets elicited higher rates of negative cognitions regardless of the physical appearance of the target. Furthermore, consistent with predictions, confederates appearing disabled and depicting socially appropriate behavior elicited significantly higher rates of positive cognitions from subjects. Findings are integrated with past research of reactions to depression and disability.

“…Although clinically experienced and professionally dispassionate, the staff members eval-uated the supposedly depressed person with SCI as low in attractiveness and reported greater levels of hostile mood than did those who heard the nondepressed version of the tape. Desire for additional contact with the individual, too, was lower in the experimental than the control condition (for related research, see Corcoran, Frank, & Elliott, 1988;Elliott & Frank, 1989;Frank et al, 1987).…”
