TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the cognitive vulnerability hypotheses of depression with a retrospective behavioral high-risk design and found that cognitively high risk participants had higher lifetime prevalence than low risk participants of major and hopelessness depression and marginally higher prevalence of minor depression.

TL;DR: Negative cognitive styles were similarly predictive of first onset and recurrences of major depression and hopelessness depression but predicted first onsets of minor depression more strongly than recurrence.

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed that the hypothesized depressogenic cognitive styles do indeed confer vulnerability for clinically significant depressive disorders and suicidality and a consideration of future research directions and the clinical implications of cognitive vulnerability to depression.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that cognitive risk partially mediated the relation between childhood emotional maltreatment and hopelessness and fully mediated the relations between childhood emotionally maltreatment, hopelessness, and non-endogenous major depression.

TL;DR: Among bipolar spectrum participants, high BAS sensitivity prospectively predicted a shorter time to onset of hypomanic and manic episodes, whereas high BIS sensitivity predicted less survival time to major depressive episodes, controlling for initial symptoms.
