A dimensional approach to personality in atypical depression
چکیده انگلیسی
The current study addresses the relationship of personality and atypical depression using the Five-Factor Model (FFM), a dimensional approach to personality. The aim of the study was to help clarify which personality traits are more characteristic of atypical depression than of other depressive subtypes. Outpatients (n = 160) with non-psychotic major depression were characterized as having atypical (n = 26), or non-atypical depression (n = 134) based on DSM-IV criteria. To limit the effect of state depression, personality was assessed after subjects received a minimum of 14 weeks of antidepressant treatment. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory, which generates data based on the FFM, was the primary assessment measure. Post-treatment, relative to the non-atypical comparison group, the atypical group had significantly higher scores on the dimension of Neuroticism, the facets of Impulsivity and Anger-Hostility, and a significantly lower score on the facet of Deliberation. In sum, the FFM provides a new understanding of which unique personality characteristics may be associated with atypical depression.
