Effect of RDI for ameliorating depression in college students

According to cognitive theory of depression (Beck, 1976), depressed people have an imbalanced ratio between positive and negative cognitions and have a tendency to think about various things in a negative way. In cognitive therapy, which is well recognized as being effective for reducing depressiveness(Rush et al., 1977) , negative cognition, which underlies negative emotion, is disputed which leads to therapeutic effects. For example, when a client focuses on a recent failure, he/she tries to think, “This is a just failure. I have had many successes in the past.”
