AbstractObjectivesThe present pilot study examined the associations between attachment relationships, psychological problems, and negative automatic thoughts among late adolescents in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.SubjectsA total of 98 participants (male = 49, female = 49) were recruited from government colleges in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.MethodsThe measures used to assess the research variables of this cross sectional study were the Inventory of Parent-Peer Attachment (IPPA-Urdu), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-Urdu), and the Automatic Thought Questionnaire (ATQ-Urdu).ResultsAll of these measures had good reliabilities. Findings of the correlation analyses demonstrated that maternal, paternal and peer attachment relationships were negatively related to symptoms of depression and anxiety as well as to negative automatic thoughts. On the other hand, depressive and anxiety symptoms were positively associated with negative automatic thoughts. Additionally, findings suggested that future studies must investigate adolescents from two-parent households and exclude those with only one living parent.ConclusionThe results underscored the need for further investigations of the linkages between attachment relationships, negative automatic thoughts and psychological problems on larger samples.

Abstract Background In the era of high-speed internet, using the internet regardless of platform might be considered a part of everyone’s daily activities. A number of factors have been demonstrated to be associated with internet addiction, which is mostly concerned with psychological problems such as loneliness. This study aimed to examine how and in what way loneliness has influenced internet addiction. Specifically, we proposed and tested interpersonal problems and motivation for the internet as intervening variables of the relationship between loneliness and internet addiction. Methods Self-report measurement on loneliness, internet addiction test (IAT) and interpersonal problems consisting of domineering, vindictive, cold, socially inhibited, nonassertive, overly accommodating, self-sacrificing and intrusive, were administered to 318 medical students (57% females); mean age was 20.88 (SD, 1.8), to test whether interpersonal problems mediated the relationship between loneliness and internet addiction in the mediation model. In addition, motivation for internet use was added to the mediation model and tested whether it was the second mediator (serial mediation model) or a moderator (moderated mediation model). Results After controlling for sex and age, socially inhibited problems exhibited full mediation whereas the remainder had partial mediation effect, with the exception that intrusive and cold interpersonal problems had no mediating role. Negative motivation and motivation for being accepted had mediation effects for all styles of interpersonal problems. Motivation for working was found to be a significant mediator and moderator of the most interpersonal problems. Intrusive and cold styles became a mediator only when some motivation variables were added to the model, implying that not only psychological problems should be included when analysis internet addiction, but also other variables such motivation for internet use. The percent of variance explained, by IAT score, increased from 13% by the mediation model to 33% by the moderated mediation model, and 43% by the serial mediation model. Conclusion The study suggested the crucial role of loneliness and interpersonal problems on internet addiction, for which motivation for the internet use explained how each interpersonal problem would be associated. This may provide some insight regarding the pathological characteristics of those using the internet as a coping strategy. Intervention to help students experiencing loneliness to avoid excessive use of the internet is possible when their interpersonal problems and various types of motivation are identified.

The Relationship

Beck’s cognitive model of depression proposes that depressogenic schemas have an effect on depressive symptoms by increasing the frequency of negative automatic thoughts in response to negative life events. We aimed to test a moderated, serial mediation model where psychological inflexibility, a core concept of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model of psychopathology, both mediates and moderates the relationship between depressogenic schemas and the frequency of negative automatic thoughts. A cross-sectional design was used in which 210 undergraduates responded to questionnaires assessing the constructs of interest. Results supported the proposed moderated mediation model. Both psychological inflexibility and negative automatic thoughts were significant mediators of the relationship between depressogenic schemas and depressive symptoms, and psychological inflexibility also moderated the effect of depressogenic schemas on negative automatic thoughts. We conclude that the role of psychological inflexibility in the cognitive model of depression deserves more attention.
