Pathogenic beliefs (PBs) are a key construct within control-mastery theory, a dynamic cognitive-relational psychotherapy approach. It is common for these beliefs to trigger interpersonal problems. The present study explored the relationship between PBs and interpersonal problems. Sixty-eight patients with depressive disorder were assessed using a 54-item Pathogenic Belief Scale (PBS), and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-32). Eight sub scales of the IIP-32 were analysed, along with the interpersonal circumplex (IPC) dominance and love dimensions. The PBS was significantly associated with the IIP-32 total score (r =.608, p <.01). The PBS scores were significantly correlated with the dominance dimension (r = −.285, p <.05), but not the love dimension. PBs have a significant correlation with interpersonal problems. They correlated with the submissive or hostile quadrant of the IPC, which measures negative sense of self and disappointment in oneself in relating to others.Item Metadata only Expression of contemporary Thai and Indian artists in the perspective of feminism(2026-04-01) Srithong U.; Srithong U.; Mahidol Universityand media sources, it explores their lived experiences and socio religion and cultural contexts shaping their art.
