Abstract

The research investigates the intrusion and depressive content of the autobiographical memory (AM) that associated with depressive self cognition. 493 students from different universities in 2004-2005 academic years participated in the study. Cognition Check List, Depressive Content Evaluation Form, Impact of Event Scale and Beck Depression Inventory were applied. Results showed that, depressives evaluated their own self at the event as more ‘worthless’, ‘unlovable’ and ‘inefficient’. They evaluated the others at the event as more ‘distrustful, ‘rejective’ and ‘unsupportive’ and the event as more ‘unchangeable’ in future than non-depressives. Concerning AM associated with depressive cognition, depressives reported more intrusion of the AM than non-depressives. It is considered that depressive persons’ AM associated with depressive cognition may be a self defining memory. As a result, it is suggested that AM is an important material and context in changing procedure of depressive cognitions in CBT.

Özet

Araştırma, depresif kişilerde depresif bilişle bağlantılı otobiyografik anıların bilince istemsiz girişlerini ve bu anıların depresif içeriğinin Beck’in bilişsel modeli ile olan tutarlılığını incelemektedir. Bu amaçla, 2004-2005 öğretim yılında çeşitli üniversitelerden 493 öğrenciyle çalışılmıştır. Katılımcılara Biliş Tarama Listesi, Anı İçeriğini Değerlendirme Formu, Olay Etkisi Ölçeği ve Beck Depresyon Envanteri uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, depresif kişiler geri getirilen anıda kendilerini ‘değersiz’, ‘sevilmeye layık olmayan’ ve ‘yetersiz’ değerlendirmişler, başkalarını ‘güvenilmez’, ‘reddedici’ ve ‘destek vermez’ görmüşler ve olaydaki durumu ‘değişmez’ bulmuşlardır. Depresif olmayan kişiler ise aynı boyutlarda tam tersi bir özellik sergilemişlerdir. Bunlara ek olarak, depresif kişilerin depresif bilişlerine bağlı anılarının, diğer kişilerinkine göre daha ‘araya girici’ oldukları görülmüştür. Tüm bu özellikler bir arada değerlendirildiğinde, depresif kişilerin depresif bilişlerine bağlı anılarının, bir ‘benliği tanımlayan anı’ oldukları düşünülmektedir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında, benliği tanımlayan anıların BDT sürecinde önemli bir psikoterapi malzemesi olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
