Blunted, Dampened, and Devalued: Examining Avoidance of Positivity in Depression Science Across Cognitive, Affective Neuroscientific, and Network Levels of Analyses
Depressed individuals avoid positive information more than do others. How and why this occurs has only recently received empirical scrutiny in depression science, however, and much of this new work has emerged from disparate disciplines. Thus, this symposium bridges findings from across affective neuroscientific, cognitive, and network levels of analyses.
