اليقظة الذهنية و المعتقدات الوسواسية كمنبئات بالاكتئاب لدى عينة من طلاب الجامعة

Abstract EN

Those with depressive disorder tend to focus their attention on exciting and unpleasant news, explain it negatively and build pessimistic beliefs accordingly.

The present study aims at revealing the predictability of depression through mindfulness facets (observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, non-reactivity to inner experience); and the predictability of depression through obsessional beliefs (overestimation of threat / responsibility, perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty, importance and control of thoughts).

The study tools were administered to 400 students at the Faculty of Education, Assiut University (150 males, 250 female).

The study tools included the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Obsessional Beliefs Scale (OBS), and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II).

The researcher used the following statistical methods to check the validity of the tools and process data: internal consistency, construct validity, stepwise multiple linear regression.

The results of the study indicate that the facets of mindfulness that are most capable of predicting depression are observation, acting with awareness, and not interacting with inner experiences.

The results of the study also indicate that the obsessional beliefs that are most capable of predicting depression are importance and control of thoughts, and perfectionism and intolerance of uncertainty.
