我们使用Rotter（1954,1982）的社会学习理论和Kirsch（1985,1999）的反应期望扩展来澄清应对相关期望（关于应对努力结果的信念）和应对倾向（使用特定应对反应的倾向）之间的区别，特别关注消极情绪调节（NMR）的广义期望作为应对和幸福个体差异的预测因子的作用。两项使用结构方程模型的研究为核磁共振预期与抑郁症状之间的直接和间接关联提供了支持。在研究1中，核磁共振预期预测情境回避应对反应和抑郁、焦虑症状，独立于性格回避应对倾向。在学习中？核磁共振预期与抑郁症状相关，同时与前瞻性相关，独立于性格乐观和悲观。两项研究都表明，与焦虑和身体疾病的症状相比，核磁共振预期与抑郁症状的关联更强。结果强调了区分预期和其他与应对相关的人格变量的重要性。
We used Rotter's (1954, 1982) social learning theory and Kirsch's (1985, 1999) response expectancy extension thereof to clarify distinctions between coping-related expectancies (beliefs about the outcomes of coping efforts) and coping dispositions (tendencies to use particular coping responses), specifically focusing on the role of generalized expectancies for negative mood regulation (NMR) as a predictor of individual differences in coping and wellbeing. Two studies using structural equation modeling provided support for direct and indirect associations between NMR expectancies and symptoms of depression. In Study 1 NMR expectancies predicted situational avoidance coping responses and symptoms of depression and anxiety, independent of dispositional avoidance coping tendencies. In Study ?,, NMR expectancies were associated with depressive symptoms, concurrently and prospectively, independent of dispositional optimism and pessimism. Both studies indicated that NMR expectancies are more strongly associated with depressive symptoms than with symptoms of anxiety and physical illness. Results underscore the importance of distinguishing between expectancies and other personality variables related to coping.
