以前的研究已经建立了证据表明，不稳定的自尊与抑郁症的脆弱性有关，并且它作为抑郁症症状的预测因子优于自尊水平。然而，这些研究中的大多数都只使用学生样本来调查自尊不稳定在抑郁症易感性中的作用。本研究采用目前抑郁症住院患者，以前抑郁的个人，和从未抑郁的控制，调查自尊不稳定性和抑郁症之间的关系。此外，我们还检验了自尊不稳定性在预测未来抑郁症状方面的预测有效性。结果表明，自尊不稳定与抑郁和抑郁易感性。此外，自尊不稳定性与知觉压力变异性和抑郁情绪变异性在预测未来的抑郁症在6个月的随访。这些结果符合素质压力模型，并支持这一假设，即在预测抑郁症的脆弱性，自尊不稳定可能比自尊水平更重要。(c)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Previous studies have built up evidence that an unstable self-esteem is associated with vulnerability to depression and that it outperforms level of self-esteem as a predictor for symptoms of depression. However, most of these studies have used student samples exclusively to investigate the role of self-esteem instability in depression vulnerability. Our present study used samples of currently depressed inpatients, formerly depressed individuals, and never-depressed controls to investigate the relationship between self-esteem instability and depression. In addition, we examined the predictive validity of self-esteem instability in predicting future depressive symptoms. The results indicate that self-esteem instability is associated with depression and vulnerability to depression. Furthermore, self-esteem instability interacted with perceived stress variability and depressed mood variability in predicting future depressive symptomatology at six months follow-up. These results are in line with the diathesis-stress model and support the hypothesis that self-esteem instability might be more important than level of self-esteem in predicting vulnerability to depression.
