“…Similarities between BD and UD in self-esteem or other depression-related traits seem to be especially obvious when implicit measures were used instead of explicit ones (e.g. Lex et al 2011;Lyon et al 1999;Van der Gucht et al 2009). Additionally, remitted patients with BD often only show depression-like cognitions when compared to controls in the implicit assessment of self-esteem (e.g.…”

The current study tested whether experimentally induced social comparisons affect mood and self-esteem in euthymic unipolar and bipolar patients, compared to participants without any history of affective disorders. It was predicted that unfavourable upward comparisons with feedback that another person was performing better would have a negative effect on implicit self-esteem and explicit mood (positive and negative affect) in unipolar patients. We further predicted that favourable downward social comparisons with feedback that another person was performing worse will enhance mood and self-esteem, especially in bipolar patients. Participants were randomly assigned to upward or downward social comparison in a brainstorming task. As was expected, after upward comparison, negative affect increased, whereas positive affect decreased in all groups. After downward comparison, positive affect initially increased in unipolar and healthy subjects, while in bipolar patients no significant change in positive affect was observed. Implicit self-esteem generally showed an unexpected decrease regardless of the comparison condition and group. Remitted bipolar patients seemed to be less sensitive to positive feedback which may reflect 'dampening' of positive affect which has been observed before in bipolar patients.

“…However, the evidence did not support this prediction. This study component was acknowledged as exploratory given the mixed evidence of threat sensitivity in mania (Carver and Johnson 2009;Garcia-Blanco et al 2014) and that existing interpretation bias research has predominantly focused on valence, not threat (e.g., Lex et al 2011;Thomas et al 2009). Consequently, the study results cannot be considered conclusive evidence that mania-consistent processing biases are not induced by manipulated changes in thought speed and variability.…”

Thought speed and variability are purportedly common features of specific psychological states, such as mania and anxiety. The present study explored the independent and combinational influence of these variables upon condition-specific symptoms and affective state, as proposed by Pronin and Jacobs' (Perspect Psychol Sci, 3:461-485, 2008) theory of mental motion. A general population sample was recruited online (N = 263). Participants completed a thought speed and variability manipulation task, inducing a combination of fast/slow and varied/repetitive thought. Change in mania and anxiety symptoms was assessed through direct self-reported symptom levels and indirect, processing bias assessment (threat interpretation). Results indicated that fast and varied thought independently increased self-reported mania symptoms. Affect was significantly less positive and more negative during slow thought. No change in anxiety symptoms or threat interpretation was found between manipulation conditions. No evidence for the proposed combinational influence of speed and variability was found. Implications and avenues for therapeutic intervention are discussed.

“…Following this perspective a role of personality styles [8][9][10][11][12] and cognitive constructs [13][14][15][16] in precipitating depression has been documented in both BD and major depression. Dysfunctional attitudes correlate with a longer duration of depressive episodes [17,18].…”

Cognitive styles in hypomanic episodes of bipolar I disorder

Abstract: Dysfunctional cognition in bipolar disorder seems to relate to state rather than to trait. Hypomania includes depression-related as well as mania-related cognitions and can therefore not be considered as the mere opposite of depression.
