Sažetak
Reviewing different models of depression it is noted that almost every model includes self-perception and self-evaluation, i.e. self-oriented cognitions as variables that favor depression development. Pettit and Joiner (2006) include self-perception from Beck’s cognitive triad, discrepancy between actual and ideal self from Higgins’ (1987) Self-Discrepancy Theory and perfectionism as self-oriented cognitions. Recent researches have confirmed that relationship between negative perfectionism and depression isn’t direct (Rice, Ashby & Slaney, 1998 ; Ashby, Rice & Martin, 2006), so the aim of this research was to examine the mediating effects of self-evaluative variables (self –liking, self-competence, actual-ideal self-discrepancy and actual-ought self-discrepancy) on the relationship between negative perfectionism and depression. It was expected that relationship between negative perfectionism and depression is mediated by self-liking, self-competence and real-ideal self-discrepancy. At sample of 144 female students the following instruments were applied: Beck’s Depression Inventory II, Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale, The Self-Liking/Self-Competence Scale and Self Concept Questionnaire - CC Version. In tested multiple mediation model results have shown that included set of variables do mediate the effect of negative perfectionism and depression. An examination of the specific indirect effects indicates that only self-liking is a significant mediator.
