“…This association is also found in studies analyzing difficulties in emotion regulation in depression. For instance, Kahn et al (2019) find that emotion reactivity to happy or sad film clips shows a non-linear association related to the severity of depression symptoms. More specifically, from low levels of depressive symptoms to approximately the balanced clinical cutoff, the growth in sadness-expressive experience increased with depression symptoms.…”

Research traditions on cognition and depression focus on relatively unconnected aspects of cognitive functioning. On one hand, the neuropsychological perspective has concentrated on cognitive control difficulties as a prominent feature of this condition. On the other hand, the clinical psychology perspective has focused on cognitive biases and repetitive negative patterns of thinking (i.e., rumination) for emotional information. A review of the literature from both fields reveals that difficulties are more evident for mood-congruent materials, suggesting that cognitive control difficulties interact with cognitive biases to hinder cognitive switching, working memory updating, and inhibition of irrelevant information. Connecting research from these two traditions, we propose a novel integrative cognitive model of depression in which the interplay between mood-congruent cognitive control difficulties, cognitive biases, and rumination may ultimately lead to ineffective emotion-regulation strategies to downregulate negative mood and upregulate positive mood.

“…The proponents of the theory of ECI (Rottenberg, 2017) argue that depression overrides normal emotional functioning, invokes reduction in motivation, and promotes an internal focus. During depressive episodes, the individual demonstrates resistance to the emotional fluctuation representing emotional inertia and its association with psychological adjustment (Kuppens et al, 2010;Kahn et al, 2019). Less sudden changes, pervasive states and diminished responsiveness to both positive and negative emotions are a few characteristics of emotional inertia observed in individuals reporting depressive states (Costello, 1993;Bylsma et al, 2008;Kuppens et al, 2010;Rottenberg, 2017;Kahn et al, 2019).…”

Cognitive impairment, alterations in mood, emotion dysregulation are just a few of the consequences of depression. Despite depression being reported as the most common mental disorder worldwide, examining depression or risks of depression is still challenging. Emotional reactivity has been observed to predict the risk of depression, but the results have been mixed for negative emotional reactivity (NER). To better understand the emotional response conflict, we asked our participants to describe their feeling in meaningful sentences alongside reporting their reactions to the emotionally evocative words. We presented a word on the screen and asked participants to perform two tasks, rate their feeling after reading the word using the self-assessment manikin (SAM) scale, and describe their feeling using the property generation task. The emotional content was analyzed using a novel machine-learning algorithm approach. We performed these two tasks in blocks and randomized their order across participants. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to categorize participants into self-reported non-depressed (ND) and depressed (D) groups. Compared to the ND, the D group reported reduced positive emotional reactivity when presented with extremely pleasant words regardless of their arousal levels. However, no significant difference was observed between the D and ND groups for negative emotional reactivity. In contrast, we observed increased sadness and inclination toward low negative context from descriptive content by the D compared to the ND group. The positive content analyses showed mixed results. The contrasting results between the emotional reactivity and emotional content analyses demand further examination between cohorts of self-reported depressive symptoms, no-symptoms, and MDD patients to better examine the risks of depression and help design early interventions.
