虽然研究表明，情绪体验可以影响认知过程，但人们对这种关联的个体差异知之甚少，特别是在年轻人中。本研究探讨了母亲抑郁和焦虑暴露所反映的成长环境的情感背景如何与青少年对母亲所指信息的认知加工中的偏见有关。此外，我们还调查了这种关联是否因青少年对压力的情绪反应而异。青年（50名男孩，46名女孩; M年龄= 12.36，SD = 1.05）完成了行为任务评估认知偏差。半结构化访谈进行评估（a）青年的情绪反应自然发生的压力，（B）母亲的抑郁和焦虑。分层多元回归分析显示，人际压力的情绪反应缓和产妇抑郁症和认知偏见之间的联系，产妇抑郁症预测更大的负面偏见，在青年表现出高和平均水平，但不低，情绪反应水平。在低水平的母亲抑郁症，青年与提高人际情感反应表现出更大的积极的认知偏差。这种模式的影响是特定的人际（而不是非人际）的情绪反应和母亲的抑郁症（而不是焦虑）。这些研究结果阐明了一个人的特点，青年，调节情绪认知联系，并揭示了情绪反应既增强和削弱青年的认知处理作为社会化背景的功能。
Although research demonstrates that emotional experiences can influence cognitive processing, little is known about individual differences in this association, particularly in youth. The present study examined how the emotional backdrop of the caregiving environment, as reflected in exposure to maternal depression and anxiety, was linked to biases in youths' cognitive processing of mother-referent information. Further, we investigated whether this association differed according to variation in youths' emotional reactivity to stress. Youth (50 boys, 46 girls; M age = 12.36, SD = 1.05) completed a behavioral task assessing cognitive bias. Semi-structured interviews were administered to assess (a) youths' emotional reactivity to naturally occurring stressors, and (b) maternal depression and anxiety. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that emotional reactivity to interpersonal stressors moderated the linkage between maternal depression and cognitive bias such that maternal depression predicted a greater negative bias in youth exhibiting high and average, but not low, levels of emotional reactivity. At low levels of maternal depression, youth with heightened interpersonal emotional reactivity showed a greater positive cognitive bias. This pattern of effects was specific to interpersonal (but not non-interpersonal) emotional reactivity and to maternal depression (but not anxiety). These findings illuminate one personal characteristic of youth that moderates emotion-cognition linkages, and reveal that emotional reactivity both enhances and impairs youths' cognitive processing as a function of socialization context.
