| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aimed to explain "modern-type depression" (MTD) light of social cognition and personality. At first, because there is no official definition of MTD, we searched books about MTD and summarized personality features of person with MTD in order to launch on personality study of MTD. Then, refering to the results, we constructed a scale which may predict the onset of depression, and tested its reliablity and validity. As the approaches from social cognition, we examined the possibility that stating "I may be suffering from depression" may fuction as an excuse in social predicaments. We also examined lay person's beliefs about MTD. Refering to previous studies as well as these studies of ours, we proposed psychological theory of MTD.
