Abstract
The authors used
D. A. Kenny's (1994a)
social relations model to examine
J. C. Coyne's (1976b)
interpersonal theory of depression among a clinical sample of well-acquainted prison inmates. Members of 12 therapy groups (
N
= 142) diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder completed a self-report measure of depression and anxiety and indicated their desire to interact with other group members. There was both consensus about which group members were rejected and individual differences in the participants' reported desire for future interaction with other group members. Those reporting high levels of depressive negative affect were most likely to be rejected. Those lowest in positive affect indicated the least desire for future interaction with others.
