Keyword: Psychopathology

Abstract: People often face ambiguity in daily life. This ecological momentary assessment study used a newly-developed cognitive task to assess interpretation bias and inflexible updating of interpretations based on disconfirmatory real-world social experiences in depression. This knowledge could be used to improve current theoretical models and interventions targeting cognition and emotion.
