520 $a A two-week prospective study was conducted to test the diathesis-stress component of Beck and Blatt's theories of depression within the context of daily diary recordings. A general purpose of the study was to explore potential differences in stress processes between the personality vulnerability styles suggested by the cognitive and psychodynamic theories of depression. The cognitive set of constructs included Sociotropy and separate components of the Autonomy construct (Need for Control, Defensive Separation, and Perfectionism/Self-Criticism). Their psychodynamic counterparts were Dependency and Self-Criticism, respectively. The following stress processes were examined: stress exposure, stress reactivity, coping choice, coping effectiveness, and appraisal. University students (N=100) completed diaries at the end of every day for 14 consecutive days. Data were analysed using multilevel modeling. The stress exposure hypothesis (i.e., the hypothesis that personality contributes to increased exposure to stressors) received support for Sociotropy. This finding adds to the growing literature suggesting that this personality style creates actively ongoing difficulties of an achievement nature. The stress reactivity hypothesis (i.e., the hypothesis that personality moderates the effects of stressors on affect and cognition) was supported for Need for Control and Defensive Separation. As predicted, Need for Control conferred vulnerability to independence-restrictive or control events as opposed to failure events, and was associated with increased hostility following events impinging on one's freedom and mobility. This study additionally obtained evidence supporting a need for further refinement of the defensive separation construct. In particular, the high end of this dimension seems to confer less vulnerability to stressors of various types, whereas its low end seems to confer vulnerability to a broader range of stressors of various durations. High Defensive Separation individuals appear to possess a combination of protective and risk factors, which when combined can be embodied in a self-sufficient, indifferent type of individual. The advanced congruency hypotheses regarding coping choice and coping effectiveness received partial support in this study, suggesting that the relation between coping and personality is more complex than has been suggested by the congruency hypothesis and the differential coping choice-effectiveness hypothesis. Loss appraisals demonstrated meaningful relations to daily variations in affect and cognition, although none of the expected relations between the personality vulnerability styles and loss appraisals were supported. The psychodynamic set of constructs did not yield significant results, supporting further the idea that the personality constructs stemming from the two different traditions are not identical. Implications for both future research and clinical work are discussed. Examples of the HLM syntax used to test hypotheses regarding stress exposure, stress reactivity, coping choice, and coping effectiveness are appended.
