Cognitive bias phenomenon of depressed patients in the Emotional Stroop Task

This study aimed to investigate cognitive bias of depressed patients on negative information in the emotional stroop task. Also by diversifying word presenting conditions and stimulus duration, this research pursued in which condition depressed patients show cognitive bias most likely. The subjects of this study were 13 depressed patients and 13 healthy control participants. In the emotional stroop task, after all the participants were tested pre-exercise session, they performed both supraliminal and subliminal condition session. The results were as follows; firstly, there were significant differences in reaction times between depressed patients group and heathy control group in both conditions: supraliminal and subliminal. Depressed patients reacted more slowly than control group in all words condition, especially to negative words. Secondly, there were significant differences in reaction times between groups in every condition when negative words were presented to them. Finally, the depressed patient also showed slow response when the negative words presented were delayed to show up in supraliminal condition, but there were no differences in the condition of subliminal.
