Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that individuals who later develop depression tend to exhibit overcontrol as children, meaning that they were likely to have been described as cautious, rule-following, and inhibited. This style of behavior may make them susceptible to negative self-evaluation and a lack of assertiveness, leading to depressive symptoms later in life.
