Abstract
Coyne's (1976a) interactional theory of depression states that depressed people induce a negative mood in others through social interaction and hence elicit rejection from them. A meta-analysis was conducted to ssess the relationship between (1) depression and negative mood in others, (2) depression and rejection by others, and (3) negative mod and rejection by others. The results indicate strong support for the rejection component of the theory, but rather modest support for the negative mood induction hypothesis. Negative mood seems to show a curvilinear (inverted-U) relationship with depression
