本研究在未选择的本科生样本中采用短期前瞻性设计，以检验抑郁症绝望理论症状部分的五个假设（Abramson, Meta[sky, & Alloy, 1989）。与绝望理论一致的是，绝望与抑郁症状的同时和未来都有独特的联系，但与焦虑无关。假设的绝望抑郁症状与其他抑郁症状的相关性比它们与其他抑郁症状的相关性更高也不是假设的绝望抑郁的一部分或其他精神病理症状。绝望可以预测被假设为绝望抑郁症状的八种症状中的四种，并显示出预测另外两种绝望抑郁症状的趋势（p < 0.05）。绝望不能预测任何非绝望的抑郁症状或任何焦虑障碍的症状（躯体焦虑、恐惧症、强迫/强迫）。此外，该理论的归因素质-应激交互作用对绝望抑郁症状的预测具有前瞻性和特异性，并以绝望为中介。然而;与理论相悖的是，绝望无法预测被假设为绝望抑郁症一部分的两种症状（悲伤、低能量），但它确实可以预测其他精神病理学的一些症状，主要是精神病，以及少数的敌意和偏执。
This study used a short-term prospective design in an unselected sample of undergraduates to test five hypotheses derived from the symptom component of the hopelessness theory of depression (Abramson, Meta[sky, & Alloy 1989). In congruence with hopelessness theory, hopelessness was uniquely associated both concurrently and prospectively with symptoms of depression but nor anxiety. The hypothesized hopelessness depression symptoms correlated with one another more highly than they correlated with other depressive symptoms nor hypothesized to be part of hopelessness depression or with symptoms of other psychopathology. Hopelessness predicted prospectively four of the eight symptoms hypothesized to be part of the hopelessness depression symptom profile and showed a trend (p < .05) to predict an additional two hopelessness depression symptoms. Hopelessness did nor predict any nonhopelessness depression symptoms or any symptoms of anxiety disorders (somatic anxiety, phobias, obsessions/compulsions). In addition, the attributional diathesis-stress interaction featured in the theory predicted hopelessness depression symptoms prospectively and specifically, and was mediated by hopelessness. However; at odds with the theory, hopelessness failed to predict two of the symptoms (sadness, low energy) hypothesized to be part of hopelessness depression anal it did predict some symptoms of other psychopathology, primarily psychoticism, and, marginally, hostility and paranoia.
