尽管发展突出的理论模型的目标动机及其在日常生活中的重要性，研究很少检查临床抑郁症的目标失调过程。在这里，我们的目的是调查有问题的方面，在临床抑郁症的成年人，相对于控制。抑郁的参与者（n = 42）从英格兰西北部的两个改善获得心理治疗诊所招募。对照组（n = 51）从同一地区招募。参与者生成个人方法目标（例如，提高我的马拉松时间）和避免目标（例如，避免为小事烦恼），并完成了目标实现可能性和抑郁症状的自我报告措施。参与者还完成了一项衡量脱离无法实现的目标和重新参与新目标的容易程度的措施。与对照组相比，抑郁的参与者报告了更少的接近目标（但不是更多的回避目标），将他们的接近目标（奖励）结果评定为不太可能发生，回避目标（威胁）结果更可能发生。抑郁的参与者还报告说，与对照组相比，他们更容易脱离无法实现的目标，更难重新参与新的目标。我们的研究结果从目标调节的角度扩展了目前对抑郁症精神病理学的认识，表明目标追求周围的悲观情绪伴随着更少的方法目标追求和遇到困难时脱离的一般倾向。
Despite the development of prominent theoretical models of goal motivation and its importance in daily life, research has rarely examined goal dysregulation processes in clinical depression. Here we aimed to investigate problematic aspects of goal regulation in clinically depressed adults, relative to controls. Depressed participants (n = 42) were recruited from two Improving Access to Psychological Therapy clinics in north-west England. Control participants (n = 51) were recruited from the same region. Participants generated personal approach goals (e.g., improve my marathon time) and avoidance goals (e.g., avoid getting upset over little things) and completed self-report measures of goal attainment likelihood and depressive symptoms. Participants also completed a measure of ease of disengagement from unattainable goals and re-engagement with new goals. Compared to controls, depressed participants reported fewer approach goals (but not more avoidance goals), rated their approach goal (rewarding) outcomes as less likely to happen and avoidance goal (threatening) outcomes as more likely to happen. Depressed participants also reported greater ease of disengagement from unattainable goals and more difficulty re-engaging with new goals than controls. Our findings extend current knowledge of the psychopathology of depression from a goal regulation perspective, suggesting that pessimism around goal pursuit accompanies fewer approach goal pursuits and a general tendency to disengage when difficulties are encountered.
