SAMPLE
Table 1. Sociodemographic data.
MEASURES
Nine different kinds of psychological processes were assessed using several questionnaires (Factorial scores were computed for each psychological process)*.
∟ Cognitive symptoms, affective symptoms, somatic symptoms, negative repetitive thoughts, emotion regulation strategies, environmental reward, inhibition or approach, self-image, clarity of the self.
BDI-II, BADS-SF*, RSE, GSES, SCCS, RRS, BIS/BAS, GMS, EROS*, RPI*, CERQ, FFMQ, AAQ-2, DTS* STATISTICAL ANALYSES.
Factorial scores were computed for each psychological process. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted.
The avoidance is highly influenced by • Negative repetitive thoughts • Poor environmental rewards
• Maladaptive emotion regulation strategies The activation is highly influenced by • High environmental rewards • Positive self-image
• Adaptive emotion regulation strategies
According to their influence on both avoidance and activation, the environmental reward and the emotion regulation strategies appear to be important variables to work on during the treatment of depression.

Our research focuses on psychological processes which characterize the depression disorder.
∟ The influence of these processes on the level of behavioural activation is of interest because the inactivity (which is the behavioural avoidance) is one of the most important targets in depression treatments.
Sample (N = 477)
Sex (♀/♂) 358/119 Age 34.25 (SD = 11.85)
To investigate the influence of the biased psychological processes on the behavioural avoidance. To find the psychological processes which have a positive influence on the behavioural activation. To present an integration of our results with Kinderman’s psychological model of mental health (2013).
RELEVANCE
To provide a model which can help clinicians to find the impaired psychological processes involved in the weak mental health of the patients.
