虽然情绪功能障碍是重性抑郁症（MDD）的一个重要方面，但在日常生活中却很少被研究。Peeters、Nicolson、Berkhof、Delespaul和deVries（2003）观察到，当患有MDD的个体报告对积极事件的反应更强时，会出现令人惊讶的情绪改善效应。为了更好地理解这一现象，我们对日常生活事件的情绪反应进行了多方法评估，使用经验抽样法和日重建法获得了评估和事件特征的详细报告（Kahneman，Krueger，Schkade，施瓦茨，& Stone，2004）在35名目前正经历重度抑郁发作的个体中，26名处于轻度抑郁（mD）发作中，和38名从未抑郁的健康对照组。相对于健康对照组，两个情绪障碍组都报告了更大的日常消极影响和更低的积极影响，并报告了不太愉快，更不愉快和更有压力的事件。重要的是，MDD和mD个体在积极事件后报告了更大的负面影响减少，这种影响在评估方法中收敛，并且不能用普遍影响，事件评估或药物的差异来解释。这种好奇的情绪明亮的效果的影响进行了讨论。
Although emotional dysfunction is an important aspect of major depressive disorder (MDD), it has rarely been studied in daily life. Peeters, Nicolson, Berkhof, Delespaul, and deVries (2003) observed a surprising mood-brightening effect when individuals with MDD reported greater reactivity to positive events. To better understand this phenomenon, we conducted a multimethod assessment of emotional reactivity to daily life events, obtaining detailed reports of appraisals and event characteristics using the experience-sampling method and the Day Reconstruction Method (Kahneman, Krueger, Schkade, Schwarz, & Stone, 2004) in 35 individuals currently experiencing a major depressive episode, 26 in a minor depressive (mD) episode, and 38 never-depressed healthy controls. Relative to healthy controls, both mood-disordered groups reported greater daily negative affect and lower positive affect and reported events as less pleasant, more unpleasant, and more stressful. Importantly, MDD and mD individuals reported greater reductions in negative affect following positive events, an effect that converged across assessment methods and was not explained by differences in prevailing affect, event appraisals, or medications. Implications of this curious mood-brightening effect are discussed.
