Inhibition Bias for Facial Emotion in Depression

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the level of depression and inhibition bias. In the present study, the mood-congruent inhibition bias was measured in the depression group. The depression group (n=31) and the control group (n=29) were recruited from a pool of college students on the basis of the CES-D score. They were given a ‘Go-No/Go task’, which consisted of a ‘gender discrimination task’ and a ‘facial emotion discrimination task’. For 'the gender discrimination task', the subjects were presented with 100 pictures of men or women with neutral facial expressions and they were given instructions to selectively inhibit their response to one gender. For the 'facial emotion task', the subjects were presented with 100 pictures of happy or sad expressions and they were given instructions to selectively inhibit their response to one of the facial emotions. The results showed that there were no significant differences between the depression group and the control group for the rate of hits, false alarm errors and the mean response time on the gender discrimination. However, the depression group made more false alarm errors when they were to inhibit their responses to pictures of sad facial expressions. These results suggest that the depression group has difficulty inhibiting mood-congruent facial emotions, while their ability to inhibit responses to non-emotional faces appears intact.
