Depressed College Students

Depressed, formerly depressed, and never depressed female college students were randomly assigned to success, failure, or neutral experiences on a sham measure of empathy ( ns = 12/cell). They then read descriptions of their supposed positive and negative intellectual and personality characteristics, and took a recognition memory test. Based on Beck's (1967) theory, it was predicted that depressed subjects would display negative biasing of memory after neutral or failure experiences and that the latent negative biases of the formerly depressed would be activated by failure. The predictions for depressed subjects were not confirmed. However, the memories of the formerly depressed for information about their intellectual qualities became negatively biased after failure. Beck's view that those predisposed to depression harbor latent negative cognitive biases received some support, but the results also indicated that his conception of global negative biasing of cognition during depression is over-simplified.

Components Analysis

A principal components analysis was performed on the self-ratings obtained from the Personality Characteristics Inventory (PC1-1) ( N = 941 male and female college students). The obtained principal components were then rotated according to the varimax procedure. The varimax factors obtained were: Independence, Purposefulness, Imagination, Knowledge, Self-regard, Diversion, Wonder, Self-honesty, Logicality, Innovativeness, and Self-awareness.

Per Se

Dream recall and content were studied in 10 female college students who habitually slept nocturnally for more than 9 hr. and in 7 who habitually slept less than 6½ hr. During 2 wk. 81 spontaneously recalled dreams were reported by the 7 short sleepers and 114 dreams by the 10 long sleepers. Of 9 dream content variables the 2 groups of sleepers differed significantly on only one and did not significantly differ in frequency of dream recall. It was suggested that in homogeneous groups of long and short sleepers length of sleep per se might be relatively unimportant in relation to dream reports and dream reporting, and other measured personality characteristics.
