Carnelley, Paula R. Pietromonaco, and Kenneth Jaffe.<br \/>\nThis study focuses on the idea that the type of care received in childhood, positive or negative, has a great effect on relationship functioning later in adulthood.\u00a0 But there are two links between child-rearing and relationship functioning:\u00a0 attachment style and depression.\u00a0 Both derive from the type of care received\u00a0in childhood and affect relationship functioning, and both exert a<br \/>\nreciprocal influence on each other in adulthood.\u00a0 The researchers of this study wanted\u00a0to examine all the correlation\u2019s between type of care, attachment style,<br \/>\ndepression, and relationship functioning.\u00a0 They proposed a three-part hypothesis:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A less positive childhood would result in an insecure attachment style and<br \/>\ndepression, 2. Depressives would exhibit a preoccupied or fearful style of<br \/>\nattachment, and 3. Attachment style would affect relationship functioning more<br \/>\nthan depression.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The research was conducted in two independent studies.\u00a0 The first study sampled 204 college women.\u00a0 Women were studied based on the very plausible assumptions that women are more susceptible to depression than men and relationships carry more significance with women than men.\u00a0 The women were screened using the Beck Depression Inventory, a popular method of testing consisting of 21 multiple choice questions to be administered by a clinician. The questions range in scope from feelings of sadness to loss of libido.\u00a0 From these results, a sample of 163 was taken: 73 whose scores indicated mild depression.\u00a0 From this point the<br \/>\nresearchers administered various inventories to assess the type of childhood care given, romantic attachment styles, and relationship functioning.<br \/>\nDepression appears to be the independent variable because the sample was selected based on desired levels of depression. Once the distinction in levels of depression had been made, childhood care, attachment style, and relationship functioning were assessed in relation to depression.<\/p>\n<p>The actual distinction between independent and dependent variables isconfusing.\u00a0 There are almost ten variables in this experiment:\u00a0 mild depression, no depression, dating or not dating (101 out of 163 were involved in stable dating relationships that averaged 19.99 months), positive or negative child-rearing,<br \/>\nattachment style (fearful, preoccupied, or secure), and relationship functioning (overall satisfaction, quality of interactions with partner, and conflict resolution style).\u00a0 The confusion arises in that the study is assessing the relationships of so many variables.<\/p>\n<p>The second study repeated the first except the sample consisted of recovering clinically depressed married women and non-depressed married women.<br \/>\nThe first hypothesis 1a was confirmed as having a strong correlation between women with negative childhood experiences with their mother and a preoccupied and avoidant attachment style. Hypothesis 1b was confirmed by a strong correlation between childhood experiences and depression.<\/p>\n<p>A very strong correlation existed between depression and fearful andpreoccupied attachment styles, consistent with the second hypothesis.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that attachment style had more of an impact thandepression, \u201cattachment style was the most consistent predictor of relationshipfunctioning and generally predicted functioning better than depression,\u201d consistent with the third hypothesis.<\/p>\n<p>The second study consisting of clinically depressed married women, and non-depressed women found a correlation between greater fearful avoidance and preoccupation in recovering clinically depressed married women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This study raised several interesting questions:\u00a0 To what can the varioustypes of relationship functioning and the multifarious correlations between thevariables involved be ascribed?\u00a0 Are the factors controlling depression external or internal?\u00a0 How do people develop their \u201cworking models\u201d of relationships?\u00a0 Do<br \/>\nthese models derive from childhood, or are they slowly assimilated over the course<br \/>\nof one\u2019s life?<\/p>\n<p>I would now like to go on to the treatment and results of depression and the effects on the ones they love.\u00a0 When one is depressive, some studies show that one may become more productive at work, they need less, sleep, and also concentrate harder on their work according to Syndrome of The Elite:\u00a0 Bipolar Disorder II, by Carl Sherman.\u00a0 People affected sometimes can have quick, innovative intelligence.<br \/>\nThey can be charismatic, have more energy, but they can also have extreme mood<br \/>\nswings to upset a relationship.\u00a0 When one is treated with a medication such as<br \/>\nlithium to stabilize their moods, one may actually benefit from having such a<br \/>\ndisease.\u00a0 These people will be hard working, needless sleep, and can get ahead in<br \/>\ntheir jobs.\u00a0 Some of the top executives, creative people, and entrepreneurs benefit<br \/>\nfrom these conditions.\u00a0 However, in the home these mood swings may lead to<br \/>\nunresolved fights, and anger within one\u2019s family.\u00a0 Depression can lead to excessive<br \/>\nbehavior, such as gambling, and exorbitant lifestyles.\u00a0 This is compounded by the<br \/>\nproblem that one suffering also likes to be isolated, and prefers not to talk about<br \/>\ncompounding problems they may be facing.\u00a0 This can build up a fire inside one\u2019s<br \/>\nself.\u00a0 We can only say for sure that with the bi-polar stages of manic depression,<br \/>\nthat many relationships can only follow the highs and lows of the depressive\u2019s<br \/>\nstates.<\/p>\n<p>To fight this disease, many people turn to the many available anti-depressant drugs on the market now.\u00a0 These drugs alter the bio-chemicals in the brain itself. It works wonders for most people.\u00a0 In fact, 85% of all manic depressives have great results right away when treated according to an the article entitled, 1 in 5 adults suffer mental illness\u00a0 Experts say great strides made intreating Depression, by Natalie Neiman.\u00a0 Also according to this study, almost 15 to20 percent of manic depressives commit suicide, which makes treating this disease a must.\u00a0 One way of tracing this is through hereditary.\u00a0 Almost 40-50 percent of the siblings of manic depressive\u2019s children also have a depression disorder.\u00a0 It is sometimes however hard to decipher between a normal teenager\u2019s mood swings, or a depression.\u00a0 People need to realize not to discriminate, and know that it is a treatable chemistry imbalance.\u00a0 If one\u2019s teenager is acting in a depressive state have them talk to a psychologist, and assure them nothing is wrong with them, and<br \/>\nthat it can only help.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to do my research on this given that I am manic depressive.\u00a0 I had<br \/>\nrecently broken up in a relationship, and this research helped to satisfy some<br \/>\ncuriosities. With this research I realize how much I have been helped, and it<br \/>\nhelped to explain some of my personality traits.\u00a0 Someone who has manic depression<br \/>\nshould definitely go in for help, and should realize the risk of not.\u00a0 The research<br \/>\nshows that the interaction between relationship functioning, depression, and<br \/>\nattachment style are attributable to early childhood.\u00a0 In other words, an<br \/>\nindividual\u2019s experiences in his or her formative years can have lasting<br \/>\npsychological effects, up to the most basic social functions in adulthood.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A primary concern for Psychology research is depression.\u00a0 Depression affects a great deal of our population and many aspects of an individual\u2019s mental health and well-being.\u00a0 In my research of books, articles, and Internet pages on depression, I chose to base my paper mainly on a 1994 article of a study of depression, entitled Depression,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.0 -
