in depression etiology and reviews the clinical evidence of schema therapy as a possible treatment option for (chronic) depression: Limited evidence suggests that ST by targeting self - referential
cognitive schemas (EMS) which mediate the effects of early life adversity on
vulnerability towards and maintenance of depressive disorders
in the sense of distal risk factors could be an effective treatment for depression and a feasible alternative to CBT (Brewin et al. 2009; Carter et al. 2013; Malogiannis et al. 2014; Renner et al. 2016).

The findings from these studies converge on the theme that attachment theory has considerable utility
in potentially extending and refining current
cognitive vulnerability models through a consideration of interpersonal context and the
cognitive mechanisms by which negative interpersonal experiences may confer increased risk to later anxious and depressive symptoms.

We examined all publications from the ROOTS study up to July 2015, selected those examining adolescent mental health, and classified them as investigating (a) childhood risk factors for adolescent depression, (b) genetic and

cognitive vulnerabilities (fear of anxiety and negative beliefs about worry) and GAD symptoms among 297 Japanese undergraduates (female = 62 %, age = 18.91 ± 1.61)
in a two - wave prospective cohort study.
This study aims to investigate whether gender differences
in the prevalence of depressive symptoms, with girls reporting more depressive symptoms than boys, are related to gender differences
in cognitive schema
vulnerability.
Studies suggest that the interaction between
cognitive vulnerability and stressors may function differently
in girls and boys during adolescence; however, evidence is inconsistent and may point to moderation by a combination of age and gender.
In this study three different pathways among these variables were assessed simultaneously: (1)
cognitive vulnerabilities and stressors as predictors of depressive symptoms (
vulnerability model), (2) depressive symptoms and
cognitive vulnerabilities as predictors of stressors (stress generation model), and (3) depressive symptoms and stressors as predictors of
cognitive vulnerabilities (consequence model).

in applying a transactional perspective to understanding
cognitive vulnerability to depression.
Further,

vulnerability mediated the relationship between life - stress and depressive symptoms
in girls but not
in boys.
To conclude, the

in youth, which may explain inconsistent findings so far.

in middle to late adolescent boys, but only
in the presence of many stressors, supporting a

in middle to late adolescent boys.
A three - step, hierarchical regression analysis was performed to predict change
in generalized anxiety from
cognitive vulnerabilities, sub-dimensions of psychological well - being, and their interaction (as well as T1 generalized anxiety).
Thus, current findings suggest that inconsistent results regarding the
cognitive vulnerability - stress model
in youth so far may be due to the moderating role of gender being dependent on age.

cognitive style may not interact
in youth as
cognitive vulnerability factors may not have stabilised yet.
Theoretically, the introduction of SR - rumination is novel and contributes to existing research on
cognitive vulnerability in youth.
While children are prone to experience depressive symptoms as a direct consequence of negative events (Nolen - Hoeksema et al. 1992), Turner and Cole (1994) posit that adolescents» ability to utilize abstract reasoning increases the likelihood of developing stable
cognitive vulnerabilities that are activated
in the presence of stress.
Furthermore, NCS
in the interpersonal domain was related to depressive symptoms
in boys and girls, except
in early adolescent girls reporting few stressors, thus supporting a
cognitive vulnerability - stress model
in early adolescent girls.
Furthermore, research has shown that
cognitive vulnerability - stress interactions
in relationship to depressive symptoms emerge somewhere between the ages of 11 — 15 (Hyde et al. 2008).
Past research examining the relationship between
cognitive vulnerability to depressive symptoms
in adolescent samples have found strong support for a wide range of factors including attributional style (e.g., Abela and Hankin 2008), dysfunctional attitudes (e.g., Lewinsohn et al. 2001), and rumination (Abela et al. 2007).
