The level of facial and auditory affect recognition was assessed in depressed and in nondepressed children. There were six conditions. Subjects had to distinguish between and identify happy, sad and angry faces in one set of conditions. They had to do the same for affective voice intonations in another set and for emotional melodies in the remaining two conditions. The errors made to every expression under the six conditions were evaluated for the groups. The findings indicated that the depressed children were not impaired in facial affect recognition. However, there was a disturbance in auditory affect recognition associated with depression, along with a negative bias.
对抑郁和非抑郁儿童的面部及听觉情感识别水平进行了评估。共有六种情况。在一组情况下，受试者必须区分并识别高兴、悲伤和愤怒的面孔。在另一组情况下，他们必须对情感语调做同样的事情，在其余两种情况下则要对情感旋律进行识别。对这几组受试者在六种情况下对每种表情所犯的错误进行了评估。研究结果表明，抑郁儿童在面部情感识别方面没有受损。然而，与抑郁相关的听觉情感识别存在障碍，同时还存在负性偏差。
