Emotion context insensitivity in depression: Toward an integrated and contextualized approach.
TLDR
How psychophysiological measures can help elucidate emotional processes that underlie the pathophysiology of MDD as part of an integrated and contextualized approach is emphasized.
Emotions in Depression: What Do We Really Know?
TLDR
This work reports on what the authors have learned thus far about how depression influences emotional reactivity and emotion regulation, and carefully demarcates the vast terrain of what they do not yet know.
Abnormal emotional reactivity in depression: Contrasting theoretical models using neurophysiological data
Lack of Evidence for a Reduced Late Positive Potential in Major Depressive Disorder
Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) present with deficits in emotional reactivity. Conflicting models have been proposed to explain this effect. We sought to test the emotional context…
Emotion Regulating Attentional Control Abnormalities In Major Depressive Disorder: An Event-Related Potential Study
TLDR
The findings suggested that a negatively sad emotion influenced cognitive attentional control in MDD in the early and late attentional stages of cognition, and P200 and P300 might be predictors of potential neurocognitive mechanism underlying the dysregulated attentional Control of MDD.
Comorbid anxiety and depression: Opposing effects on the electrocortical processing of negative imagery in a focal fear sample.
TLDR
Depression and GAD are characterized by opposing electrocortical response to negative imagery; moreover, depression may suppress GAD-related increases in the electrocordical processing of negative imagery.
Concepts and Dysfunctions of Emotion in Neuropsychiatric Research.
TLDR
A perspective of the complex formation of emotion and its operational usage in neuroscience is provided and a comprehensive approach of the newly developing field of computational psychiatry to emotion is introduced.
Behavioral and brain oscillatory correlates of affective processing in subclinical depression
TLDR
Underlying brain oscillatory dynamics revealed that depression was associated with deficits in the early, implicit, processing stages of emotional stimuli, and later processing stages were characterized by prominent power surges in low and alpha frequencies, presumably indicating emotion upregulation processes and increased engagement of cognitive mechanisms in affective tasks.
Expanding the positivity offset theory of anhedonia to the psychosis continuum
People with schizophrenia and negative symptoms show diminished net positive emotion in low-arousing contexts (diminished positivity offset) and co-activate positive and negative emotion more…

Emotion context insensitivity in major depressive disorder.
TLDR
Testing 3 competing views of how depression alters emotional reactivity found positive attenuation (reduced positive), negative potentiation (increased negative), and emotion context insensitivity (ECI) views provide partial support.
Mood and Emotion in Major Depression
Nothing is more familiar to people than their moods and emotions. Oddly, however, it is not clear how these two kinds of affective processes are related. Intuitively, it makes sense that emotional…
A meta-analysis of emotional reactivity in major depressive disorder.
Sadness and amusement reactivity differentially predict concurrent and prospective functioning in major depressive disorder.
TLDR
Loss of the context-appropriate modulation of emotion in depression may reflect a core feature of emotion dysregulation in this disorder.
Empathic behavioral and physiological responses to dynamic stimuli in depression
Emotion-modulated startle in anxiety disorders is blunted by co-morbid depressive episodes
TLDR
An anxiety disorder concurrent with a depressive episode is associated with reactivity that more closely resembles the pattern of emotional responding that is typical of depression (i.e. context insensitive) rather than the patterns that are typical for anxiety.
Emotional inertia prospectively predicts the onset of depressive disorder in adolescence.
TLDR
Whether emotional inertia prospectively predicts the onset of first-episode depression during adolescence is examined and greater inertia of both negative and positive emotional behaviors predicted the emergence of clinical depression 2.5 years later.
Emotional reactivity to daily events in major and minor depression.
TLDR
A surprising mood-brightening effect when individuals with MDD reported greater reactivity to positive events was observed, an effect that converged across assessment methods and was not explained by differences in prevailing affect, event appraisals, or medications.
Getting stuck in depression: The roles of rumination and emotional inertia
TLDR
In both studies, rumination and emotional inertia were positively associated, and both independently predicted depression severity, demonstrating the importance of studying both cognitive and affective inflexibility in depression.
Major Depression Is Not Associated with Blunting of Aversive Responses; Evidence for Enhanced Anxious Anticipation
TLDR
MDD is not associated with emotional blunting but rather enhanced defensive reactivity during anticipation of harm, and results do not support a strong version of the ECI hypothesis.
