According to J. Kuhl's (1984, 1985, and unpublished manuscript) information-processing model of depression, the chronicity of depressive mood states is maintained by so-called degenerated (unfulfillable) intentions that claim working memory capacity is needed to enact new (fulfillable) intentions. In the present experiment, an attempt was made to induce a degenerated intention in 18 hospitalized depressive patients and in 3 nondepressed control groups consisting of 10 university students, 10 hospitalized male schizophrenics, and 7 hospitalized male alcoholics. Whether depressives have an increased tendency to maintain unrealistic intentions and reduced memory capacity following suggestion of an unrealistic goal was examined. Results indicate that the tendency to encode unrealistic instructions in an intentional format appeared to be associated with a personal history of depressive episodes. In accordance with the model, the experimental manipulation (involving a clean-up task and a memory-span assessment) produced short-term memory deficits in depressive Ss, while memory capacity was unaffected for nondepressed Ss.(28 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
