Abstract

The authors investigated processing of self-descriptive emotional information in depression using a modified Stroop color-naming task. Depressed (n = 58) and nondepressed control (n = 44) participants were required to name the color in which positive and negative adjectives, differing in the degree to which they described the person, were presented. These target adjectives were primed by emotional phrases that also varied according to degree of self-reference. Analyses indicated that depressed participants showed slower color-naming latencies for self-descriptive negative targets primed by self-descriptive negative phrases than for any other prime-target condition. No effect of prime-target relation was found for positive material with depressed participants, and nondepressed controls showed no effect of prime-target relation for material in either valence. These results support the hypothesis that negative information about the self is highly interconnected in the cognitive system of depressed patients.
