When someone says they are depressed they generally refer to a sour mood which may be changed quickly with a call from a friend or a gift or by simply seeing a good movie. But clinical depression is something quite a bit more profound. Similarly, some people may find themselves nervous before a test or anxious about a romantic situation. But that is different from an anxiety disorder where repetitive behavior ensues whenever a particular situation is encountered. While it is not always easy to tell the difference between serious disorders involving anxiety or depression and the usual fare, it is also easy to confuse these diagnoses with one another. The confusion in terms of recognition is true not only for the layman but for the professional as well.Presently, the most authoritative reference for diagnostic guidelines in psychiatry is the manual put out by the American Psychiatric Association's (1994) and commonly referred to as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th ed. (DSM-IV) (Dreary, Peter, Austin & Gibson, 1998). Conditions such as schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorders are diagnosed on Axis I of the five axes used in the manual (1998). Personality disorders are however diagnosed on Axis II and the implicati

Having shyness as the independent or exogenous variable, which precedes negative attributional style and depression temporally, makes good theoretical (cf. Plomin & Daniels, 1986) and empirical sense. There is evidence of a "genetic component for shyness in young children" as well as "mothers' self-reports of shyness, low sociability, and introversion, thereby suggesting the influence of a shared home environment" (Rothbart & Mauro, 1990, p. 152). Shyness, therefore, is evident at a very early age, before the cognitive capacity for making attributions and acquiring an attributional style has had time to develop. On another front, Eysenck's (1970) two factors, introversion and neuroticism, which, in combination, characterize the individual who is socially anxious and withdrawn, also appear to be partially inherited. Moreover, the shy individual is designated by Eysenck as being "dysthymic" and, consequently, predisposed toward depression. Hence, there is strong justification fo! Duncan, O. D. (1975).

These individuals can experience both social anxiety, which manifests itself as shyness, and depression. A more radical approach to the problem is to dispense with causal conceptions of this kind altogether, in favor of assessing the dimensionality of the Alfano et al. (1994) data by means of factor analysis. It is quite possible that all the variables measured are manifestations, in varying degrees, of a single general factor identified with negative affect and closely tied to self-esteem (Eysenck, 1970; Hallworth, 1965; Rosenberg, 1965).
