1. Adolescent Narrative Thought: Developmental and Neurological Evidence in Support of a Central Social Structure.

Author

McKeough, Anne and Griffiths, Stephanie

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss how young adolescents gradually develop the capacity to interpret human intentions and, in so doing, develop a deeper understanding of the social world, as evidenced in their stories and interpretations of events in their lives. Robbie Case΄s theory is utilized to explain how and why developmental change occurs in the domain of narrative thought. More specifically, we argue that growth in working memory capacity permits the assembly of increasingly complex narrative structures and that working memory capacity sets an upward limit on development. Further, we link such cognitive growth to neurological research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study examined the factor structure of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) in a sample of 127 individuals referred by their primary care physicians. Using exploratory factor analysis with oblique rotation, a 2-factor model appeared to be the most parsimonious representation of the data. The rotated factors accounted for approximately 53% of the variance. Consistent with previous research, the first factor was interpreted as a somatic-affective dimension and the second factor reflected a cognitive dimension. The correlation between these 2 factors was .79. It appears possible to divide the BDI-II into subscales to facilitate interpretation in medical patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
