RODRIGUEZ, Eugenio et al. Dependent and self-critical personality styles: Cognitive performance and depressive symptomatology. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.49, n.2, pp.102-109. ISSN 0120-0534.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j-rlp.2016.09.005.

This study examines the relationship between the dependent and self-criticism Cognitive dimensions of personality with emotional, cognitive and social deficits associated with depres-sive symptoms. The sample included 91 college students, aged 18 to 24, from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Universidad de Chile. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ) tests were used in order to explore the emotional state of the participants. A Stroop task and a Serial Reaction Time (SSRT) test were used in order to assess cognitive performance. In turn, the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Task (RMET) face recognition task, by Baron-Cohen, was used to assess the mentalising capacity. Sig nificant correlations were found between dependency and self-criticism dimensions, depressive symptoms and cognitive performance of the participant.

Keywords : Depression; Dependency; Self-criticism; Cognitive performance.
