Abstract

Depressed teens exhibit distinct temporal affective dynamics compared to healthy teens, including elevated negative affect, inertia, and affective variability, and diminished positive affect. Little is known about affective dynamics of teens whose parents have a history of depression. We investigate these dynamics and compare low-risk, high-risk, and currently depressed teens.
