Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the emotional reactivity to small disturbances in daily life in patients with non-affective psychosis (NAP), bipolar disorder (BD) and major depression [major depressive disorder (MDD)]. METHOD: Forty-two patients with NAP, 38 with BD, 46 with MDD, and 49 healthy controls were studied with the experience sampling method to assess (i) appraised subjective stress of small disturbances in daily life and (ii) emotional reactivity, reflected in changes in positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA). RESULTS: Multilevel regression analyses showed an increase in NA in MDD, a decrease in PA in BD and both an increase in NA and a decrease in PA in NAP in association with the subjectively stressful situations, compared with the control subjects. CONCLUSION: Individuals with NAP, MDD and BD display differences in emotional stress reactivity. Type of mood disorder may exert a pathoplastic effect on emotional reactivity in individuals with MDD and BD. Individuals with NAP may be most vulnerable to the effects of daily life stress.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Compared to non-depressed controls, depressed individuals show more negative facial expressions to unpleasant images, greater perceived stress to laboratory stressors, and greater increases in negative affect to daily stressors.

    “For example, compared to non-depressed controls, individuals with depression exhibit more negative facial expressions in response to unpleasant images (Sloan et al., 1997), report greater perceived stress in response to a laboratory stress tasks (de Rooij et al., 2010), and display greater increases in negative affect in response to daily stressors (Myin-Germeys et al., 2003).”
  • Altered stress-reactivity is a vulnerability marker for psychosis.

    “Increasing evidence points to altered stress-reactivity as a vulnerability marker for psychosis (Myin-Germeys et al., 2003; Lataster et al., 2013).”
  • When a signal-contingent data recording approach is used, it is only possible to inquire about 'recent' events, and events may occur several hours before the data recording takes place.

    “However, when a signal-contingent data recording approach is used, it is only possible to inquire about ' recent ' events (e.g. Myin-Germeys et al., 2003; Peeters et al., 2003b). In this case, events may occur several hours before the data recording takes place.”
  • Myin-Germeys et al. (2003) found that only the association between current stress and NA levels was stronger in the patients than in the controls; the association between current stress and PA levels was equally strong in both groups.

    “However, Myin-Germeys et al. (2003) found that only the association between current stress and NA levels was stronger in the patients than in the controls; the association between current stress and PA levels was equally strong in both groups.”
  • On average adults with MDD report less PA and more NA than healthy controls.

    “For example, the group of deVries has repeatedly found that on average adults with MDD report less PA and more NA than healthy controls (Barge-Schaapveld et al., 1999; Myin-Germeys et al., 2003; Peeters, Nicolson, Berkhof, Delespaul, et al., 2003).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
