Abstract:

A 2 (group: depressive tendency vs. control)×2 (emotion category: positive vs. negative)×3 (modality: visual, auditory, audiovisual) design was used to examine the efficiency of audiovisual emotional processing in individuals with depressive tendencies. Results showed that, under positive emotion conditions in the visual and audiovisual modalities, individuals with depressive tendencies exhibited significantly longer reaction times than controls. Furthermore, their inverse efficiency scores under positive emotion conditions were significantly higher than both their own performance under negative emotion conditions and that of the control group under positive emotion conditions. These findings suggest that individuals with depressive tendencies show slowed processing speed and reduced processing efficiency for positive emotional information across modalities, whereas their processing efficiency for negative emotions is relatively preserved.
