Abstract EN

Many studies ‘ found that metacognitive beliefs in metacognitive’ therapy has an essential impact on the way in which the individual responds to negative ideas, beliefs, symptoms and emotions; it serves as the driving force behind the toxic thinking style.

The current study ainis to investigate the relationship between depression on the one hand and metacognitive beliefs on the other hand( positive beliefs about worry , negative beliefs about uncontrollability to thoughts and danger, beliefs about the need to controlthôughts , cognitive ‘Confidence) , and It also investigates the relationship between depression ànd thought control strategies “( disti’àction’, reappraisal, social' control, anxiety, puflishment.

The study’ alsO aims ‘to detect depression via metacognitive beliefs, and thought control strategies.The study ‘consisted of (216) 1st yer stüdet ‘teachérs’ from all majors (niales and females) at Faculty of Education, Basic Education Division, Assiut University (2012- 2013).The researcher used, the following scales: Beck depression inventory (BDI4I) (d -2), Metacognition scale (MCS-30) (Wells &Cartwright-Hatton, 1997) (translated by the researcher), ,Thought Control Strategies (TCS) (Wells & Davies, 1994) (translated by the researcher).The researcher used also a number of statistical methods such as correlation coefficients, multiple regression analysis, and path analysis.

The study revealed that values of correlation coefficients between depression and each of metacognitive beliefs and thought control strategies were significant at (0.01), also the correlation coefficients revealed predictability of Depression through thought control strategies in the following domains :( social control, anxiety, punishment).The researcher reached the following a predictability equation to predict Depression = 17.336 + 0.808 (social control ) + 0.707 (anxiety) + 0.5 15 (punishment) ; also he found predictability of depression via the following metacognitive beliefs including the following:(negative beliefs about uncontrollability to control the thoughts and danger, cognitive confidence);IIe also reached the following predicti9n equation: Depression=27.946+0.846(negative beliefs about uncontrollability to thoughts and danger)+0.490(cognitive confidence).The study also finds a path analysis model that tracks statistical functionality between these variables on the one hand •and depression on the other hand supported by the results of previous studies and results of multiple regression analysis in the third and fourth hypothesis in this study.
