Mood and social relationships are amongst the most important determinants of well being, life functioning, and both mental and physical health. To understand how mood and social behaviour interact, this project will examine the brain mechanisms that are responsible for the impact of mood states on processing social threat stimuli (e.g., stimuli suggesting humiliation, rejection or defeat). This work will have important implications for understanding vulnerability to recurrent depression, where these processes have been implicated in previous research. The high prevalence of these disorders, and the high cost that they represent to society, makes basic research of this type vital at this time.

情绪和社会关系是幸福感、生活功能以及身心健康的最重要决定因素。为了了解情绪和社交行为是如何相互作用的，这个项目将研究负责情绪状态对处理社交威胁刺激(例如，暗示羞辱、拒绝或失败的刺激)的影响的大脑机制。这项工作将对理解复发性抑郁症的易感性有重要的意义，这些过程在以前的研究中已经被牵连。这些疾病的高流行率，以及它们给社会带来的高昂成本，使得这种类型的基础研究在这个时候至关重要。
