A
vulnerability model refers to a way of understanding or representing someone's weaknesses or susceptibilities. It helps identify areas where a person or a system may be more prone to harm, allowing for better protection and addressing those vulnerabilities effectively.
Full definition
To date, there has been a preponderance of research supporting cognitive
vulnerability models of depression using a diathesis - stress framework amongst adolescent samples (for a review see Abela and Hankin 2008).
Likewise, the social skills
deficit vulnerability model (Segrin, 1996) posits that individuals who lack social skills are at higher risks of experiencing stress and subsequently psychological issues such as depression.
These results are interpreted from the perspective of the
Looming Vulnerability Model of anxiety and may increase understanding of the linkage between childhood developmental antecedents and cognitive risk for anxiety.
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.
The continuity, co-occurrence, and co-development of child internalizing and externalizing problems have been extensively studied and considered to be causally related either directly (directional model) or indirectly through an underlying shared or related liability factor (
common vulnerability model).
This study aimed to examine three cognitive
vulnerability models for depressive symptoms in non-clinical youth from a developmental viewpoint.
Cognitive
vulnerability models of depression examined within a diathesis - stress framework suggest that the occurrence of stress activates cognitive diatheses in vulnerable individuals (Beck 1983).
The articles in this special issue address empirically the application of attachment theory to
cognitive vulnerability models of anxiety and depression.

a vulnerability model.
Indeed, according to
the vulnerability model, specific temperament traits may predispose towards the onset of psychopathology in specific contexts [20].
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).
A vulnerability model, in which dependency and self - criticism influence depressive symptoms, was contrasted with a «scar» model, in which depressive symptoms influence dependency and self - criticism, and with a reciprocal causality model, in which both constructs influence each other over time.
In light of this ideological metamorphosis,
vulnerability models of depression developed in Western contexts have become increasingly relevant to Chinese adolescents.
Cognitive
vulnerability models have proposed a pessimistic explanatory style that confers vulnerability to depression and a looming maladaptive style that confers vulnerability to anxiety.
