Cognitive Vulnerability to Psychological Disorders: Overview of Theory, Design, And Methods

Riskind, John H., Alloy, Lauren B.·2006·Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology

Abstract

Cognitive vulnerability models offer popular ways of understanding the origins and causal factors that contribute to psychological problems. Cognitive vulnerabilities are typically purported to create liabilities to psychological disorders after individuals encounter stressful events, in a vulnerability-stress interaction, and to maintain the problems after their onset. We present a conceptual framework that describes common features shared by most cognitive models, including schematic biases in information processing, developmental factors, reciprocal feedback loops, and specific vulnerabilities for specific problems or disorders. We also examine issues related to the role of theory in determining the appropriate research design, and discuss actual design options and methods used in cognitive vulnerability research, and their strengths and limitations.

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.
