两项研究考察了根据贝克抑郁量表分数选出的 50 名抑郁大学生和 48 名非抑郁大学生的社会比较过程。在第一项研究中，Ss 在接受旨在改善或恶化其情绪状态的操作后，对他们对他人信息的偏好进行了评估。抑郁的Ss的反应提供了向下比较的证据：它们表明偏好来自经历负面情绪的人的信息，但只有当他们自己也经历相对负面的情绪时，而不是当他们的情绪暂时改善时。在第二项研究中，Ss 在收到表明另一个人当前正在经历高度负面影响的信息之前和之后评估了他们的情绪。这一信息对非抑郁的 Ss 影响不大；然而，在阅读了这些信息后，抑郁的党员们的情绪状态有所改善。结果表明，意识到其他人做得更糟可能会帮助抑郁症患者感觉好一些。（38 参考）（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2017 APA，保留所有权利）
Two studies examined the social comparison processes of 50 depressed and 48 nondepressed college students selected on the basis of their scores on the Beck Depression Inventory. In the 1st study, Ss' preferences for information from others were assessed after they had received a manipulation intended to improve or worsen their mood states. The responses of the depressed Ss provide evidence of downward comparison: They indicate a preference for information from people who were experiencing negative affect, but only when they themselves were also experiencing relatively negative affect, not when their moods had been temporarily improved. In the 2nd study, Ss' moods were assessed before and after they had received information indicating another person was currently experiencing highly negative affect. This information had little effect on the nondepressed Ss; however, the mood states of the depressed Ss improved after they read the information. Results suggest that realizing that others are doing worse may help depressed persons to feel somewhat better.(38 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
