抑郁症是一种情绪调节受损的疾病。因此，检查习惯使用情绪调节策略的个体差异具有很大的潜力，可以为这种使人衰弱的疾病的模型提供信息。当前研究的目的是确定可能与情绪调节策略的使用相关的认知过程，并阐明它们与抑郁症的关系。人们发现抑郁症与认知控制困难有关，更具体地说，与抑制负面材料处理困难有关。我们使用负性情感启动任务来评估临床抑郁症、既往抑郁症和从未抑郁症参与者习惯性使用沉思、重新评估和表达抑制的抑制与个体差异之间的关系。我们发现，抑郁的参与者在处理负面材料时表现出预期的缺乏抑制。此外，在抑郁的参与者群体中，对负面材料的抑制减少与更多的沉思有关。在整个样本中，负面材料抑制的减少与重新评估的减少和表达抑制的更多使用有关。最后，在以前患有抑郁症的人群中，较少使用重新评估、较多使用沉思和较大程度的表达抑制与较高水平的抑郁症状有关。这些发现表明，使用情绪调节策略的个体差异在抑郁症中起着重要作用，并且认知控制缺陷与该疾病中适应不良的情绪调节策略的使用有关。
Depression is a disorder of impaired emotion regulation. Consequently, examining individual differences in the habitual use of emotion regulation strategies has considerable potential to inform models of this debilitating disorder. The aim of the current study was to identify cognitive processes that may be associated with the use of emotion regulation strategies and to elucidate their relation to depression. Depression has been found to be associated with difficulties in cognitive control and, more specifically, with difficulties inhibiting the processing of negative material. We used a negative affective priming task to assess the relations among inhibition and individual differences in the habitual use of rumination, reappraisal, and expressive suppression in clinically depressed, formerly depressed, and never-depressed participants. We found that depressed participants exhibited the predicted lack of inhibition when processing negative material. Moreover, within the group of depressed participants, reduced inhibition of negative material was associated with greater rumination. Across the entire sample, reduced inhibition of negative material was related to less use of reappraisal and more use of expressive suppression. Finally, within the formerly depressed group, less use of reappraisal, more use of rumination, and greater expressive suppression were related to higher levels of depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that individual differences in the use of emotion regulation strategies play an important role in depression, and that deficits in cognitive control are related to the use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies in this disorder.
