title: Defeat and entrapment as predictors of depression and suicidal ideation versus hopelessness and helplessness.
abstract: In a sample of 140 undergraduate students, measures of defeat and entrapment and of haplessness, helplessness, and hopelessness were similar in their ability to predict depression and suicidality. It was concluded that the two sets of measures may tap the same cognitive mind set.
