Emotional Abuse as a Precipitating Factor for Depression in Women

Ali, Alisha, Oatley, Keith, Toner, Brenda B.·1999·Journal of Emotional Abuse

Abstract

This study used a semi-structured interview format to assess the role of emotional abuse as a precipitating factor for depression in a sample of 40 women attending a women's therapy center. Results revealed that emotional abuse occurring in the year preceding the interview was associated with an increased likelihood of current major depression and with elevated scores on the Beck Depression Inventory. Our findings also indicated that the most prevalent domains of depressogenic emotional abuse in this sample of women were abuse in intimate relationships and harassment in the workplace. We suggest that these forms of abuse be integrated into the conceptualization of psychosocial risk factors for depression in women.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
