研究人员已经证明，抑郁母亲的孩子本身患抑郁症的风险更高。然而，目前几乎没有人了解是什么因素导致这些儿童面临更高的风险。在目前的研究中，作者调查了母亲在女儿有生之年反复经历抑郁症的女儿是否具有对情绪信息进行有偏见的处理的特征。在负面情绪诱导之后，参与者完成了一项情绪面孔探点任务。患抑郁症风险较高的女儿，但不是从未患抑郁症的母亲的对照女儿，有选择地注意到负面的面部表情。相比之下，只有对照组的女儿有选择性地注意到积极的面部表情。这些结果为抑郁症的认知易损性模型提供了支持。
Researchers have documented that children of depressed mothers are at elevated risk for developing a depressive disorder themselves. There is Currently little understanding, however, of what factors place these children at elevated risk. In the present study, the authors investigated whether never-disordered daughters whose mothers have experienced recurrent episodes of depression during their daughters' lifetime are characterized by biased processing of emotional information. Following a negative mood induction, participants completed an emotional-faces dot-probe task. Daughters at elevated risk for depression, but not control daughters of never-disordered mothers, selectively attended to negative facial expressions. In contrast, only control daughters selectively attended to positive facial expressions. These results provide support for cognitive vulnerability models of depression.
