Biased information processing as an endophenotype for depression.

摘要: Cognitive theories assume a uniform processing bias across different samples, but the empirical support for this claim is rather weak and inconsistent. Therefore, coherence between biases cognitive domains in sample of 133 non-depressed (Study 1) 266 formerly depressed individuals 2) was examined. In both studies, were selected after successful sad mood induction procedure. A Dot Probe task, an Emotional Stroop task self-referential Incidental Learning Free Recall administered to all participants. Principle component analyses indicated attentional memory non depressed, while distinct components uncovered. The data suggest that individuals, self-referent during encoding may be related bias, whereas processing.
