研究尚未解决抑郁症是否与明显的信息处理偏差有关，抑郁症中信息处理偏差的内容是否特定于失落和悲伤的主题，或者偏差在最常用于评估注意力和记忆处理的任务中是否一致。在本研究中，被诊断患有重度抑郁症、社交恐惧症或无轴一障碍的参与者完成了几项信息处理任务，评估对悲伤、社交威胁、身体威胁和积极刺激的注意力和记忆力。正如预测的那样，抑郁的参与者对表示悲伤的刺激表现出特定的偏见。社交恐惧症参与者没有表现出对威胁刺激的这种特异性。值得注意的是，记忆和注意力偏差的不同衡量标准并没有系统地相互关联。讨论了抑郁症认知偏差研究以及更广泛的认知理论的意义。
Research has not resolved whether depression is associated with a distinct information-processing bias, whether the content of the information-processing bias in depression is specific to themes of loss and sadness, or whether biases are consistent across the tasks most commonly used to assess attention and memory processing. In the present study, participants diagnosed with major depression, social phobia, or no Axis I disorder, completed several information-processing tasks assessing attention and memory for sad, socially threatening, physically threatening, and positive stimuli. As predicted, depressed participants exhibited specific biases for stimuli connoting sadness; social phobic participants did not evidence such specificity for threat stimuli. It is important to note that the different measures of bias in memory and attention were not systematically intercorrelated. Implications for the study of cognitive bias in depression, and for cognitive theory more broadly, are discussed.
