Abstract
We proposed and tested an integration of Coyne's (1976b) interpersonal theory of depression with work on the interplay between self-enhancement and self-consistency theory (e.g., Swann, Griffin, Predmore, & Gaines, 1987). Students' levels of depressive symptoms, reassurance-seeking, and negative feedback-seeking were assessed at Time 1 and their same-gender roommates' appraisals of them were assessed five weeks later. In line with our conceptualization, we found that depressed students reported engaging in more self-enhancing reassurance-seeking and more self-consistent negative feedback-seeking than nondepressed students at Time 1
