消极情绪的自相关性或惯性反映了有多少消极情绪从一个时刻延续到另一个时刻，并与抑郁症状的增加有关。在这项研究中，我们对这种关联提出了三个挑战：（1）当在比通常更长的时间尺度上评估时，情绪惯性是否与抑郁症状相关;（2）在控制了持续性思维之后，惯性是否与抑郁症状唯一相关;（3）惯性与抑郁症状的相关性是否超过了情感和持续性思维之间的人内关联。参与者（N = 101）提供了100天的情感和持续性思维评级;研究前后报告了抑郁症状，并在2.5年后再次报告。除了特质和状态顽固思想之外，日常情绪惯性与抑郁症状有关。此外，惯性预测抑郁症状时，调整其与固执的想法。这些发现建立了独立于持续性思维的抑郁症状中情绪惰性的相关性。
The autocorrelation or inertia of negative affect reflects how much negative emotions carry over from moment to moment and has been associated with increased depressive symptoms. In this study, we posed three challenges to this association by examining: (1) whether emotional inertia is relevant for depressive symptoms when assessed on a longer timescale than usual; (2) whether inertia is uniquely related to depressive symptoms after controlling for perseverative thoughts; and (3) whether inertia is related to depressive symptoms over and above the within-person association between affect and perseverative thoughts. Participants (N = 101) provided ratings of affect and perseverative thoughts for 100 days; depressive symptoms were reported before and after the study, and again after 2.5 years. Day-to-day emotional inertia was related to depressive symptoms over and above trait and state perseverative thoughts. Moreover, inertia predicted depressive symptoms when adjusting for its association with perseverative thoughts. These findings establish the relevance of emotional inertia in depressive symptoms independent of perseverative thoughts.
