self-silencing proposes set of cognitive schemata and behaviour which depicts women's

roles women actively suppress their own thoughts and feelings if these are in conflict
with their romantic partners. This purpose of devaluation and inhibition of one's own
feelings and opinions results in a fall self-esteem & feelings of " loss of self" ( Jack &

Theoratical Framework
According to Hewitt and Flett’s (1991) influential model of perfectionism, two main
striving for perfection and being perfect are important and is characterized by setting
excessively high standards and having a “perfectionist motivation” for oneself. In contrast,
socially prescribed perfectionism comprises beliefs that others have high standards for
oneself and that acceptance by others is conditional on fulfilling these standards (Enns &
Cox, 2002; Hewitt & Flett, 1991, 2004). Thus, self-oriented perfectionism is an internally
Theories of Depression
According to Freud, the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind can come
into conflict with one another, producing a phenomena called repression (a state where
you are unaware of having certain troubling motives, wishes or desires but they influence
you negatively just the same). In general, psychodynamic theories suggest that a person

must successfully resolve early developmental conflicts (e.g., gaining trust, affection,
overcome repression and achieve mental health. Mental illness, on the other hand, is a
There are multiple explanations that fall under the psychodynamic "umbrella" that
believed that depression was caused by anger converted into self-hatred ("anger turned
inward"). A typical scenario regarding how this transformation was thought to play out
may be helpful is further explaining this theory. Neurotic parents who are inconsistent
by their own selfish needs create a unpredictable, hostile world for a child. As a result, the
child feels alone, confused, helpless and ultimately, angry. However, the child also knows
that the powerful parents are his or her only means of survival. So, out of fear, love, and
guilt, the child represses anger toward the parents and turns it inwards so that it becomes
an anger directed towards him or herself. A "despised" self-concept starts to form, and the
child finds it comfortable to think thoughts along the lines of "I am an unlovable and bad
person." At the same time, the child also strives to present a perfect, idealized (and
weaknesses that make him or her "unacceptable". Caught between the belief that he or
she is unacceptable, and the imperative to act perfectly to obtain parental love, the child

behaviour such as depression is learnt, which also means that they can be unlearnt. People
can become depressed due to a lack of positive reinforcement for their behaviour and
actions and this depression can be prolonged through positive reinforcement such as
sympathy and attention for depressive behaviour. Psychologists will treat depression with
behavioral therapy aiming to teach patients new skills to avoid depression instead of
looking at factors that causes it. However due to recent research showing how internal
events such as perceptions, expectations, and attitudes do effect behaviour and are
important to take into account in therapy, these behavioral techniques have decreased in

between the amount and severity of someone's negative thoughts and the severity of their
depressive symptoms. In other words, the more negative thoughts you experience, the
Beck also asserts that there are three main dysfunctional belief themes (or "schemas")
experiences result in defeats or failures, and 3) The future is hopeless. Together, these
three themes are described as the Negative Cognitive Triad. When these beliefs are
Dr. Albert Ellis pointed out that depressed people's irrational beliefs tend to take the
form of absolute statements. Ellis describes three main irrational beliefs typical of
depressive thinking:
CORRELATES OF SELF-SILENCING 6
Because of these sorts of beliefs, depressed people make unqualified demands on others
and/or convince themselves that they have overwhelming needs that must (simply must!)
be fulfilled. Ellis, well known for his rather acid wit, referred to this tendency towards
Ellis also noted the presence of information processing biases in depressed people's
cognitions. Like Beck he noted that depressed people tend to: ignore positive information,
which occurs when people assume that because some local and isolated event has turned
out badly, that this means that all events will turn out badly. For example, depressed
people may refuse to see that they have at least a few friends, or that they have had some
successes across their lifetime (ignoring the positive). Or, they might dwell on and blow
out of proportion the hurts they have suffered (exaggerating the negative). Other
depressed people may convince themselves that nobody loves them or that they always
mess up (overgeneralizing). Ellis' ideas led him to develop Rational Emotive Therapy
(RET), which was later renamed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
Psychologist Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive learning theory suggested that people
are shaped by the interactions between their behaviors, thoughts, and environmental
events. Each piece in the puzzle can and does affect the shape of the other pieces. Human
behavior ends up being largely a product of learning, which may occur vicariously (e.g.,
Bandura pointed out that depressed people's self-concepts are different from
responsible for bad things in their lives and are full of self-recrimination and self-blame.
In contrast, successes tend to get viewed as having been caused by external factors
outside of the depressed person's control. In addition, depressed people tend to have low
levels of self-efficacy (a person's belief that they are capable of influencing their
situation). Because depressed people also have a flawed judgmental process, they tend to
set their personal goals too high, and then fall short of reaching them. Repeated failure
self-efficacy idea, is Julian Rotter's concept of locus of control. When people believe that
they can affect and alter their situations, they may be said to have an internal locus of
control and a relatively high sense of self-efficacy. When individuals feel that they are
mostly at the mercy of the environment and cannot alter their situation, they have a
external locus of control, and a relatively low sense of self-efficacy. To extend the above
explanation, depressed people tend to have a external locus of control and a low sense of
self-esteem.
relationship between fear and learning in dogs. Seligman's study involved watching what
happened when a dog was allowed to escape an impending (and aversive but
non-damaging) shock so long as they escaped from a designated area of their enclosure
upon hearing a tone. During the first experiment, the researcher rang a bell immediately
CORRELATES OF SELF-SILENCING 8
prior to administering a brief slightly unpleasant sensation to the dog. The idea was that
the dog would learn to associate the tone with the shock. In the future, the dog would then
feel fear when it heard the bell, and would run away or show some other fear-related
During the next part of the experiments, the researchers put the conditioned dog
(which had just learned that hearing the tone is a warning for an upcoming shock) into a
box with two compartments divided by a low fence. Even though the dog could easily see
over and jump over the fence, when the researchers rang the bell and administered the
shock, nothing happened (the dog was expected to jump over the fence.) Similarly, when
they shocked the conditioned dog without the bell, nothing happened. In both situations,
the dog simply lay down. Interestingly, when the researchers put a normal dog into the
same box contraption, it immediately jumped over the fence to the other side.
Apparently, the conditioned dog had learned more than the connection between the
tone and the shock. It has also learned that trying to escape from the shocks was futile. In
other words, the dog learned to be "helpless." This research formed Seligman's
subsequent theory of Learned Helplessness, which was then extended to human behavior
learned to be helpless. In other words, depressed people feel that whatever they do will be
Theories of Self-Silencing
The most influential model on the development of women's voice & silence dates
back to Gilligan's work in 1982. According to Gilligan, the suppression or loss of voice
identify with & internalize the prevalent gender roles & cultural stereotypes of the good
women that often dictate being " nice, polite, pleasing to others, unassertive & quiet "
central role of relationships in female development ( Belenky et. al., 1986; Chodrow,
1989; Gilligan, 1982). According to this model, differential gender socialization patterns
within North American contexts lead males to be more separate, autonomous &
independent & females to be more related &interdependent. More recent research within
the field of psychology has indeed provided support for this argument (Cross & Madson,
1997; Josephs, Markus & Tafarodi, 1992; Oyserman & Markus, 1993). In Gilligan's
setting which considers separation and autonomy as the benchmark of adult development,
couple with adolescence girl's adherence to cultural feminine stereotypes, that leads to the
suppression and silencing of their voices. Gilligan notes that as a result of such silence &
suppression, girls comes to dissociates from their actual experiences & true selves, hence
the loss of voice that emerges in early adolescent leads to a lose of self over time.
Silencing the self theory was presented by Dana C. Jack (1991) in collaboration with
Alisha Ali. STS theory is based on a longitudinal study of clinically depressed women's
depression. The women detailed how they began to silence or suppress certain thoughts,
feelings & actions that they thought world contradict their partners' wishes. They did so
safety. They described how silencing their voices led to a loss of self and a sense of being

lost in their lives. They also conveyed their shame, desperation and anger over feelings of
entrapment and self-betrayal. Though this process feels personal to each women, it is in
face deeply cultural. A male-centered world tells women who they are or who they should
be, especially in intimate relationships. Self -silencing is prescribed by norms, values &
images dictating that women are " supposed" to be like pleasing, unselfish, loving. As
Dana Jack listened to the inner dialogues of depressed women, she heard self-monitoring
and negative self-evaluation in arguments between the " I " ( a voice of self) and the over
eye (the cultural, moralistic voice that condemns the self for departing from culturally
prescribed " Shoulds"). The imperatives of over-eye regarding women's goodness are
target of male violence and the difficulties of financial dependence and poverty. Women's
inner arguments about how they should act and feel revealed a divided self that results
anger & confusion while outwardly presenting a pleasing, complaint self trying to live up
to cultural standard of a good women in the midst of fraying relationships, violence and
As jack followed negative self evaluation ( words like " no good" or " worthless" ) in
their narratives,it becomes clear that women's self-judgment and behaviour were guided
by specific beliefs about how they should act and feel in relationships. When followed,

three components (e.g., ‘‘I trust you to do X’’; Hardin, 2003). Thus, trust is a function of

Kramer and Carnevale (2001) argue that trust involves a set of beliefs and
processes: (a) feelings of vulnerability; and (b) expectations of how the partner is likely to
behave across time, particularly in strain-test situations. When the partner promotes
the individual’s best interests rather than his or her own, both parties should experience
heightened trust. Trust is also likely to be higher in a relationship when (a) each
member’s self-interested outcomes match those that are best for their partner or the
relationship, or (b) both members believe that their partner will act on what is best for the

administrated the Multidimensional perfectionism scale and the silencing the self scale

control participants. Geller and colleagues (2000) examined the correlations for the total

sample by collapsing across the groups. These analysis showed that both self-oriented
and socially prescribed perfectionism were associated robustly will all STSS measures
observation that standards used for self evaluation are central to understanding of self-
silencing behavior. Jack suggested that a sense of inferiority and self-reproach stems from
the idealistic standards that self-silencer uses to judge the self . The standards themselves
have a social aspect because they reflect social dictates & a sense a being obliged to art in
self-silencing individuals, this focus on ideals & being perfect as the accepted standards
should make them susceptible to dysphoria when they perceive a substantial gap between
the actual self & the goal of being perfect. Jack (1999 a) provided a series of compelling

The association between perfectionism and silencing the self in college students
were explored by Flett, Besser, Hewitt and Davis (2007). A sample of 202 university
students completed the MPS (Hewitt & Flett, 1991, 2004), the STSS, Radloff's (1977)
CES-D scale. The result showed that self-oriented perfectionism was not associated
significantly with overall scale scores, but there was a significant association between
self-oriented perfectionism and the silencing the self subscales. The main finding that
CORRELATES OF SELF-SILENCING 14
emerges was that socially prescribed perfectionism was associated significantly with the
overall scale score ( r = .32) and with all four STSS subscales with correlates ranging
from .19 to .42. It was also found that depression was high among socially prescribed
A small but still significant association was also found between silencing the self and
suggests that for some people, their self-silencing is motivated by the desire to avoid
making mistakes and the consequences of these mistakes. The nature of these
The research assessing battered women included in research by Jack and Dill (1992)
shows that these women were exceptionally high on silencing the self. Undoubtedly their
focus would be on fears about making mistakes ( or being perceived as making a mistake)
that would then provide a misguided, self-striving rational for their abusive partner to
engage in further mistreatment. The current findings derived from a sample of university
students indicate that they have experienced maltreatment during childhood, and this
accounts, in part, for obtained association. However, other students have not been
maltreated but still a link has been found between silencing the self and concern over
making mistakes and great sensitivity to failure feedbacks and self-esteem implications
Silencing the self theory (Jack 1991) holds that women's depression is closely related to
experiences in close relationships, especially if women conform with societal norms for

symptomatology.
Thompson, Whiffers and Aube (2001) found that self-silencing was associated with
perceiving the partner as critical and intolerant, & both of these factors were associated
with greater depression. Another highly relevant perspective for understanding depression
subsequent research has shown that self-silencing is relevant both for males and females
(Thompson.1995). People high in self-silencing are sacrificing individuals who keep their
Their distress often take the form of unexpressed anger (see Jack, 1999 b, 2001).

variables) the link between perfectionism and depression (see Hewitt & Flett, 2002). In
the present instance, the tendency for socially prescribed perfectionists to be high in
and stress and this tendency to silence the self could, in turn, contribute to depression. A
mediational model is also suggested to the extent that self-silencing does indeed involve a
loss of sense of self & a negative self-view ; other research has indicated that diminished

and disinterest as measures by Beck Depression Inventory. The highest possible total for
the whole test would be sixty-three (extreme depression) and the lowest possible score for
external standards, to secure one's relationships, preferring others demands before self,
and presenting self as compliant as measured by Silencing the Self Scale (Jack & Dill,
1992). High scale scores indicates high self silencing while low scores indicate low self
silencing.
Trust: It is basically state of having dependable, certain, confidential, faithful and truthful
relationship with one's partner as measured by Trust Scale (Rempel, Holmes &
Zanna,1985). Rempel and Holmes suggest that an overall score exceeding 110 indicates a
very trusting person. Such persons feel that they are involved in a very successful
relationship and that their love for their partner is very strong. Negative behavior by the
partner is not taken as evidence of a lack of love or caring. A score below 90 indicates
low trust. In particular, such people express less love for their partner and are less
inclined to see their relationship as one of mutual giving. A score between 90 and 110
reflects “hopeful” trust. These people expect their partner to act in a relatively pleasant,
helpful, and accepting manner, though they are less confident than the trustful group. The
hopeful person is someone who wants to see the best but is perhaps afraid to believe it.
