虽然信息处理已被广泛研究与抑郁症的成年人，很少有人强调的具体结果抑郁症，而不是其他心理障碍。类似地，对抑郁儿童和青少年的信息处理方式的研究就更少了。本研究探讨了58例住院青年精神病患者的信息加工方式对抑郁和焦虑的特异性。为了评估信息处理，我们使用了自我指涉编码任务，在该任务中，参与者被提供了积极和消极的形容词;参与者被问到这些形容词是否描述了他们，然后对形容词的回忆进行了测试。在控制了年龄和性别后，发现较低的积极形容词赞同率和较低的积极形容词回忆率与抑郁有关，但与焦虑无关。此外，负面形容词认可与焦虑症状有关。这些结果表明抑郁症状的特定认知特征。
Although information processing has been widely studied with depressed adults, little emphasis has been placed on the specificity of resultant findings to depression, as opposed to other psychological disorders. Analogously, even less effort has been directed toward examining the information processing styles of depressed children and adolescents. The present study investigated the specificity of information processing styles to depression and anxiety among 58 youth psychiatric inpatients. To assess information processing, we used a self-referent encoding task, in which participants were presented with positive and negative adjectives; participants were asked whether these adjectives described them or not, and were then tested on recall of the adjectives. After controlling for age and gender, lower rates of positive adjective endorsement and lower rates of positive adjective recall were found to be associated with depression, but not anxiety. Additionally, negative adjective endorsement was associated with anxiety symptoms. These results suggest specific cognitive features of depressive symptoms.
