Abstract

Biased attention to sad faces is associated with depression in adults and is hypothesized to increase depression risk specifically in the presence, but not absence, of stress by modulating stress reactivity. However, few studies have tested this hypothesis, and no studies have examined the relation between attentional biases and stress reactivity during adolescence, despite evidence that this developmental window is marked by changes in depression risk, stress, and the function of attention. Seeking to address these limitations, the current study examined the impact of adolescents' sustained attention to facial displays of emotion on individual differences in both mood reactivity to real-world stress and physiological (i.e., respiratory sinus arrhythmia [RSA]) reactivity to a laboratory-based stressor. Consistent with vulnerability-stress models of attention, greater sustained attention to sad faces was associated with greater depressive reactions to real-world stress. In addition, there was preliminary evidence from exploratory analyses that the impact of sustained attention on mood and/or physiological reactivity may be moderated by adolescents' age and sex such that relations are stronger for older adolescents and girls. The results of this study contribute to the current body of research on the role of attention in stress reactivity and depression risk and highlight the importance of considering age differences when examining these relations.

青少年情绪和应激生理反应的持续注意和个体差异。
对悲伤面孔的偏见关注与成年人的抑郁症有关,并被假设为通过调节压力反应,特别是在有压力的情况下,而不是在没有压力的情况下,增加抑郁症的风险。然而,很少有研究检验这一假设,也没有研究检验青春期注意偏差和压力反应之间的关系,尽管有证据表明,这一发育窗口期以抑郁风险、压力和注意力功能的变化为标志。为了解决这些局限性,本研究考察了青少年对面部情绪表现的持续关注对现实压力的情绪反应和对实验室压力源的生理反应(即呼吸性窦性心律失常[RSA])的个体差异的影响。与注意力的脆弱-压力模型一致,对悲伤面孔的持续关注越多,对现实世界压力的抑郁反应就越大。此外,探索性分析的初步证据表明,持续关注对情绪和/或生理反应的影响可能会受到青少年年龄和性别的影响,因此年龄较大的青少年和女孩的关系更强。这项研究的结果有助于当前关于注意力在压力反应性和抑郁风险中的作用的研究,并强调在检查这些关系时考虑年龄差异的重要性。

期刊介绍: Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology brings together the latest innovative research that advances knowledge of psychopathology from infancy through adolescence. The journal publishes studies that have a strong theoretical framework and use a diversity of methods, with an emphasis on empirical studies of the major forms of psychopathology found in childhood disorders (e.g., disruptive behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder). Studies focus on the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, treatment, prognosis, and developmental course of these forms of psychopathology. Studies highlighting risk and protective factors; the ecology and correlates of children''s emotional, social, and behavior problems; and advances in prevention and treatment are featured. Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology is the official journal of the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology (ISRCAP), a multidisciplinary scientific society.
