Back Depressive Inventory (BDI) Scores Were Negatively Associated with Identification of Trustful Faces at Low Spatial Frequency (LSF)

The current study examined whether trait anxiety and/or depressive symptoms—measured by the Beck Depressive Inventory (BDI)—were associated with the ability to discriminate trustworthiness of faces at different spatial frequencies. The result showed that BDI scores were negatively correlated with accuracy of identifying trustworthiness of faces at low spatial frequency (LSF).
