抑郁症和政治倾向：几乎是蓝色的？

这篇文章探讨了抑郁症（我们社会中最常见的心理健康问题之一）与政治倾向之间的关系。借鉴心理学，精神病学和政治学的跨学科研究，本文使用理解社会和欧洲社会调查的数据来测试这种关系与政党认同，投票意向和左右取向，以及两种不同的自我评估临床抑郁症和抑郁症状的措施。实证分析发现了一个温和但重要的共同趋势：易患抑郁症的人不太可能认同主流保守党，投票给他们，或将自己置于政治光谱的右侧（“对右翼的偏见”）。没有发现明确的证据表明他们对政党的认同感也较低。这些发现有助于我们理解政治倾向的差异，并提出了政治参与的重要影响。
This article explores the relationship between depression—one of the most common mental health problems in our societies—and political predispositions. Drawing on cross-disciplinary research from psychology, psychiatry, and political science, the article uses data from Understanding Society and the European Social Survey to test this relationship with party identification, vote intentions and left–right orientation, and two different measures of self-rated clinical depression and depressive symptoms. Empirical analyses find a modest but significant, common tendency: individuals vulnerable to depression are less likely to identify with mainstream conservative parties, to vote for them, or to place themselves on the right side of the political spectrum (a “bias against the right”). No clear evidence is found that they also identify less with political parties. These findings contribute to our understanding of differences in political predispositions and raise important implications for political engagement.
