The aim of this study was to see if and how the intensity of depression correlates with the cognitive representation of notions, and if any influence is reversed during remission. The cognitive representation indices used were the valence and number of metaphors produced for a notion. Three adult groups took part: persons with depression ([Formula: see text]), persons in remission ([Formula: see text]), and a control group ([Formula: see text]). Five notions were considered: PAST, FUTURE, JOY, SADNESS, and HAPPINESS. The Questionnaire of the Metaphorical Conceptualization of a Notion was used. The results showed that (a) depressive subjects did not have problems with metaphorical processing, (b) depressive subjects demonstrated strong interpretational negativism, (c) subjects during remission did not present distorted conceptual processing. The results are discussed in the context of theories of automatic metaphor processing, and conceptions of cognitive depressive distortions, in tasks requiring effort and substantial involvement of cognitive resources.
本研究的目的是探究抑郁强度是否以及如何与概念的认知表征相关,以及在缓解期这种影响是否会逆转。所使用的认知表征指标是为一个概念生成的隐喻的效价和数量。三个成年组参与了研究:抑郁症患者([公式:见正文])、缓解期患者([公式:见正文])和对照组([公式:见正文])。考虑了五个概念:过去、未来、喜悦、悲伤和幸福。使用了概念隐喻概念化问卷。结果表明:(a)抑郁受试者在隐喻加工方面没有问题;(b)抑郁受试者表现出强烈的解释性消极主义;(c)缓解期受试者没有呈现出扭曲的概念加工。在自动隐喻加工理论以及认知抑郁扭曲概念的背景下,对这些结果进行了讨论,这些讨论涉及需要努力和大量认知资源参与的任务。
