| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The proposed study investigates the link between self-reported depression and affective speech perception among Indians, using PANAS and PHQ-9 to assess current mood and depression. Participants’ emotional responses were recorded on a valence and arousal scale against audio stimuli depicting various emotions. While no significant differences emerged for most stimuli, participants with depression showed higher scores for positive affect, indicating the influence of pre-existing mood on current mood status. Interestingly, this study found no reduction in positive emotional reactivity among those with depression, unlike previous findings. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This research looks at how people who are depressed react to different emotions in audio recordings. The researchers used two questionnaires to see if people were feeling happy or sad, and then asked participants to rate their emotional response to the audio clips. They found that people who were depressed reacted more positively than those who weren’t depressed. This is important because it shows how our mood can affect how we respond to different emotions. |
