D.Litt. et Phil. (Psychology) / Despite extensive theorizing and research into the nature and etiology of depression there still remains certain prominent and unresolved gaps in our knowledge. In spite of the broad acceptance of cognitive and cognitive behavioral factors and more specific cognitive styles and schemes in the context of the etiology and the manifestation of depression, it appears that finality has not been reached about the specific nature and content of these cognitive styles or schemes. For the purpose of this study, the construct goal-achievement expectation was formulated as being an intermediate cognitive variable or predisposing scheme which does not only signify an important function for the individual's behavior~ but which can also play an antecedent and determining role in the development of depression. In order to investigate the antecedent role of the goal achievement expectation construct, the goal-achievement expectation construct was assessed by means of a questionnaire on the basis of six operationally determined cognitive needs as conceptualized by Rotter (1954)...

Little is known about how the quality of one’s relationships might relate to how important a person thinks music is. By combining three established psychological phenomena - the need to belong, transference of attachment and aesthetic emotions - a novel research field addressing this was deducted and explored. A web-survey with self-report scales on attachment styles, belongingness and valuation of music was distributed both publicly via Facebook and targeted to psychology students at Stockholm University per e-mail. 141 surveys were returned. Good to excellent internal consistencies were obtained for all scales. Ambivalent and disorganized attachment styles correlated positively up to medium strength with measures related to valuation of music. A following ANOVA between attachment style groups supported the results of the correlation analysis. The results provide some tentative support for the deducted explanation.
