Affective Models of Depression and Anxiety: Extension to Within-Person Processes in Daily Life

Over the past several decades, many studies have examined the structure of depression and anxiety, converging upon a generally robust set of associations (see Watson,  2005, for a review). Among the earliest and most influential of such models is Clark and Watson's (1991) tripartite model of depression and anxiety, which addressed why depression and anxiety— putatively distinct constructs— have such high rates of comorbidity. These models have generated gr eat interest not only for their descriptive and taxonomic utility, but also because they identify etiologically-relevant factors that contribute to internalizing disorders.
