  • perfectionism and depression longitudinal assessment of a specific vulnerability hypothesis
    Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1996
    Co-Authors: Paul L Hewitt, Gordon L Flett, Evelyn Ediger
    Abstract:

    The authors tested whether perfectionism dimensions interact with specific stress to predict depression over time. A sample of 103 current and former patients completed measures of perfectionism and depression at Time 1 and measures of stress and depression 4 months later. After controlling Time 1 depression, self-oriented perfectionism interacted only with achievement stress to predict Time 2 depression. Socially prescribed perfectionism did not interact with achievement or social stress to predict Time 2 depression, but it did predict Time 2 depression as a main effect. The results provide support for the contention that perfectionism dimensions are involved in vulnerability to depression over time. Depressive disorders are recognized as among the most prevalent forms of psychopathology, and a goal among researchers is to identify factors that predispose people to these disorders. Most theorists (e.g., Beck, 1983; Blatt & Zuroff, 1992) have distinguished between Personality vulnerability factors that involve achievement versus social concerns. Perfectionism is a Personality Variable of importance in depression, and the achievement and social distinction has been incorporated into the perfectionism construct (Frost, Marten, Lahart, & Rosenblate, 1990; Hewitt & Flett, 1991b). For instance, Hewitt and Flett (1991b) identified self-oriented perfectionism as an achievement-based dimension that involves the need for one's own perfection. In contrast, other-oriented perfectionism is an interpersonal dimension that involves the need for others to be perfect, and socially prescribed perfectionism is an interpersonal dimension that involves the belief that others expect perfection from oneself. Self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism are the dimensions most relevant to depression (Hewitt & Flett, 199la), and two mechanisms have been proposed to account

  • investigating the Personality Variable loc impression management relationship exploring the role of demographic Variables sectoral difference of managers
    OPUS: Annual HR Journal, 2016
    Co-Authors: Poornima Madan, Shalini Srivastava
    Abstract:

    The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between locus of control and impression management. The study also examines the variation in locus of control dimensions namely, internality, externality (others) and externality (chance). It further investigates the difference on perception of demographic Variables (gender and marital status) and sectoral difference on impression management. The study was administered on 125 Managers who were representatives of different private and public sector organizations in Delhi/NCR. Variables in the study were assessed using validated instruments. Descriptive Statistics, t-test, Correlation and Regression were used for data analysis. Organizations will be better prepared to dig into the arena of one of the Personality Variable, i.e. locus of control and its relationship with impression management. The current research is imperative in providing insights into role of Personality Variable (locus of control) and impression management, which will be one of the pioneer researches available till date. Moreover, the research will highlight the significance of locus of control dimensions and impression management.

  • moderating effect of Personality Variable on stress effectiveness relationship an empirical study on b school students
    Vision: The Journal of Business Perspective, 2011
    Co-Authors: Shalini Srivastava, Deepti Pathak
    Abstract:

    The purpose of the study is to explore the moderating effect of locus of control on relationship between general role stress and personal effectiveness of management graduates. The present study was done on a sample of 186 management students belonging to different management institutes. Variables in the study were assessed using three validated instruments. Descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. It was found that general stress was negatively related to personal effectiveness and locus of control moderates the relationship between the two. Results confirmed the importance of Personality dimension as factor affecting personal effectiveness. It shows that the intensity of stress is reduced if the student focuses on locus of control thus making him more effective. By understanding the relationship between these Variables the management institute should conduct and deliver training programmes to actively manage the budding managers. This study is the first of its kind to study the moderating effect of locus of control on the relationship between general role stress and personal effectiveness.

  • the relationship of neuroticism and urgency to negative consequences of alcohol use in women with bulimic symptoms
    Personality and Individual Differences, 2007
    Co-Authors: Sarah Fischer, Gregory T Smith, Agnes M Annus, Megan Hendricks
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this study was to test hypotheses regarding why eating disordered college women report more frequent negative consequences of alcohol use than controls. Thirty-two women with eating disorder (ED) symptoms and 34 women without eating disorder symptom were individually administered structured clinical interviews regarding alcohol abuse/dependence and the eating disorders examination. They also completed self-report measures of neuroticism, urgency, sensation seeking, planning, and persistence. Women with ED symptoms reported more negative consequences of alcohol use, and higher levels of neuroticism and urgency. However, the two groups did not differ on any other Personality Variable. The presence of high levels of trait urgency moderated the effect of neuroticism on the negative consequences of drinking such that women with high levels of both traits reported the most consequences related to alcohol use. Rash affect regulation may be a characteristic of ED women and influence consequences of alcohol use.
