The metacognitive link between co-occurring intra- and interpersonal symptoms in major depression.

Objectives: Co-occurring symptoms in depressed people currently in a relationship are sometimes considered to be due to interpersonal variables like dyadic adjustment, or intrapersonal factors such as a lack of dispositional mindfulness.

[Validation of the bias against disconfirmatory evidence in a French-speaking sample of schizophrenic patients].

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the generality of the bias against disconfirmatory evidence in a French-speaking sample of schizophrenic patients. This bias is a heightened persistence of incorrect interpretations in front of contradictions, previously demonstrated in schizophrenic patients coming from non-French-speaking communities.

Method: In a pictorial decision task, 20 schizophrenic, 20 depressive and 20 control participants reappraised during eight successive steps, six interpretations proposed for emotionally neutral but initially incomplete pictures.
