Interpersonal cognitive distortions and automatic negative thoughts as predictors of depression among college students: Insights from the structural equation model
Overview
This quantitative study examines the relationship between interpersonal cognitive distortions, automatic negative thoughts, and depression among 200 college students using structural equation modeling. The results indicate significant correlations between depression and factors such as low self-esteem, helplessness, and negative self-concept, with the latter mediating the link between cognitive distortions and depressive symptoms. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the cognitive mechanisms underlying depression in young adult populations.
