Abstract

Seventy-five patients with remitted depression were categorized as having melancholic-endogenous or non-melancholic-nonendogenous depression according to DSM-III criteria, Research Diagnostic Criteria, and the Newcastle endogeneity scale. The patients' scores on four personality scales--the Eysenck Personality Inventory, the Interpersonal Dependency Inventory, locus of control, and the Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure--were then compared. Patients with nonmelancholic-nonendogenous depression were generally rated as having more vulnerable personality styles, but the differences were dependent on the particular diagnostic system used. A principal components analysis isolated three underlying personality constructs--dependency, introversion, and timidity. Patients with nonmelancholic-nonendogenous depression scored as significantly more dependent.
