The objectives of this study were as follows: 1) Does self-focused attention distinguish two different types - that is adaptive one and maladaptive one - of an over-general autobiographical memory and depression? 2) Does an over-general autobiographical memory act as a moderator or a mediator in the relationship between self-focused attention and depression. The adaptive one was named “the General Self-focused Attention”, which is defined as the degree of attention that an individual pays to the self, and the maladaptive one was named “the Self-Absorption”, which is defined as the tendency of constantly giving excessive attention to one's specific aspects and having difficulty turning his attention to other aspects or the external environment. 199 undergraduates completed the Scale for Dispositional Self-focused Attention in Social Situations (SDSAS; Lee & Kwon, 2005), the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT; Mackinger, Loschin, & Leibetseder, 2000) and the CES-D. The results were as follows; Individuals with a high Self-Absorption score reported more depression, and Self-Absorption was found to be a good predictor of depression. Self-Absorption was confirmed to be maladaptive self-focused attention on depression. On the other hand, General Self-focused Attention was not confirmed as adaptive. Neither the moderating nor the mediating effects of an over-general autobiographical memory on the relation between self-focused attention and depression were supported by the study's findings. Therefore, an intervention strategy for decreasing the maladaptive self-focused attention is needed for the treatment of depression.
