| Popis: | 95 Within the framework of the integrated cognitive-interpersonal model of depression, this study aimed to investigate the associations between depression and recognition, judgment, and schematic response of nonverbal interpersonal cues--facial emotions. Based on Coyne’s (1976b) interpersonal model and Beck’s (1967) cognitive theory of depression, the present study proposed that the depressed individuals recognize the negative facial emotions accurately, and respond to negative cues in the negative schematic tendency. This negative schematic set would be a stable cognitive factor; in addition, the interaction of the negative schematic set and nonverbal interpersonal stress would predict depression. Participants were 54 undergraduate/graduate students. The measurement included depressive symptoms, recognition of facial emotions, judgment of facial emotions, and schematic response to facial emotions. Forty-seven participants were repetitively measured after seven weeks. The results showed that, the accuracy of emotional recognition and preference for emotional judgment did not differ between the dysphoric and nondysphoric individuals. However, the dysphoric individuals tended to respond to non-positive facial emotions with negative cognitive-conceptual and affective schemas. In addition, the cognitive-conceptual schematic response tendency to negative facial emotions was depressed state-independent and did not change over time, and therefore may have trait-like quality. Moreover, after the interacting with the experimental facial stimuli, the increase of individuals’ negative affect could be predicted by their negative cognitive-conceptual schematic response. It was also found that the interaction of this negative schematic response set and the negative facial emotion experiences in the interpersonal environment could predict the individuals’ concurrent depressive symptoms. Contrarily, it could not predict the change of individuals’ depression over time. In conclusion, the levels and features of cognitive processing as well as the diathesis-stress model were discussed as a synthesis framework. We also combined the results and the interpersonal-behavioral risk factor to discuss the possible context of depression. Finally, we discussed the contributions and clinical applications of the present study, addressed the possible limitations, and provided some suggestions for future researches. |
