AB  - While it is well established that trait depression is a risk factor for 
      experiencing increased rates of episodes of depression, it is also the case that 
      the ways in which the self and others are perceived, and nature of the 
      relationship between self and other, predispose individuals to frequent 
      depressive episodes. In this study, 182 psychiatric outpatients at three 
      treatment facilities were evaluated for Five-Factor Model depressive traits, 
      depressive states, and self-other representations (object relations). It was 
      hypothesized that object relations would mediate the relationship between trait 
      and state depression. Results partially confirmed this hypothesis. While trait 
      depression significantly predicted variance in the Beck Depression Inventory-II 
      (BDI-II; Beck et al., 1988), two dimensions of the Bell Object Relations and 
      Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI; Bell, 1995)--Alienation and Insecure 
      Attachment--partially mediated the relationship between trait and state 
      depression. Similarly, trait depression predicted tendencies to experience 
      frequent shifts toward depressive episodes, although the Insecure Attachment and 
      Egocentricity scales of the BORRTI fully mediated the relationship between trait 
      depression and depressive lability. Knowledge of self-other representations, 
      which is being considered for inclusion in the DSM-5, allows for a more refined 
      understanding of those factors that contribute shifts in depressive mood.
