Abstract
An integrative cognitive model (Mansell et al., 2007b) proposed that multiple andconflicting extreme, personalised beliefs about internal states are key to the developmentand maintenance of mood swings and bipolar disorders. These beliefs can be assessed bythe Hypomanic Attitudes & Positive Predictions Inventory (HAPPI; Mansell, 2006). In astudent sample (N=175), the HAPPI independently predicted bipolar symptoms andhypomania-relevant behaviours over a 4-day period. In line with previous research, theHypomanic Personality Scale (HYP; Eckblad & Chapman, 1986) and subscales of theBehavioural Inhibition and Behavioural Activation Scales (BIS/BAS; Carver & White,1994) showed independent associations with outcome variables. The findings arediscussed in the context of Mansell et al’s (2007b) model.
