■经前烦躁不安是一种抑郁症,影响5%-8%的月经周期的人。尽管有证据表明面部情绪检测在抑郁症中发生了变化,增强了对负面情绪(负面偏见)的检测,关于经前烦躁不安的研究很少。
■这项研究的目的是调查经前烦躁不安的症状和经前阶段对面部情绪检测的准确性和强度的影响。
■横截面准实验设计。
面部情绪检测任务被分配给72名出生时没有经前烦躁不安的女性个体(n=30),和临时PMDD(n=42),基于《精神障碍的回顾性诊断和统计手册-基于第五版的经前烦躁不安症的测量》。无论月经周期阶段如何,都检查了面部情绪检测,作为经前阶段的函数(是的,no).该任务使用中性至情绪的面部表情变形(15张图像/变形)。参与者指出了在渐进强度变体中针对每个图像检测到的情绪。对于所有六种基本情绪(悲伤,生气,恐惧,快乐,厌恶,和惊喜),计算了两个分数:响应的准确性和首次检测到正确情绪的形态内的强度(图像编号)。
■报告经前烦躁不安的中度/重度症状的个人对厌恶的检测更准确和更早,不管周期阶段。此外,那些患有暂时性经前焦虑障碍的人更早发现了悲伤的情绪。还出现了经前烦躁障碍组×周期阶段的相互作用:报告经前烦躁障碍症状的个体与周期的其余部分相比,在经前阶段更准确地检测面部情绪,对悲伤的情绪有很大的影响。
研究结果表明,报告经前烦躁不安症状的个体的面部情绪处理增强,特别是悲伤和厌恶。然而,复制需要更大的样本和前瞻性设计。这种经前焦虑障碍经前情绪检测优势表明经前综合征/经前焦虑障碍的适应性认知机制,并挑战围绕经前经历的耻辱。
患有严重经前综合症或可能有经前痛觉障碍的女性更擅长识别人们脸上的情绪表达,特别是在经前阶段,经前焦虑障碍是一种抑郁症,影响女性,她们在经前阶段(即月经前一周)经历情绪和身体症状。这是一种严重的经前综合症。研究表明,抑郁症可以影响面部情绪识别。准确地识别他人的情绪是一项重要的技能,可以帮助我们发展社会关系,保持自己和他人的安全。快速识别面部情绪使我们能够理解和支持他人,并通过识别其他人的情绪反应来快速识别危险情况。这项研究的目的是研究经前烦躁不安的症状和经前阶段如何影响女性识别和识别他人脸上情绪的能力。共有72名妇女(42名患有经前烦躁不安症,30没有经前烦躁不安的障碍)完成了面部情绪检测任务。这项任务衡量了女性能够检测到幸福的准确性和早期程度,悲伤,愤怒,恐惧,惊喜,厌恶的脸。患有经前烦躁不安症的中度/重度症状的女性更准确和更早地检测到厌恶,不管他们在月经周期的什么地方。患有经前烦躁不安症的女性较早发现悲伤情绪。此外,经前烦躁不安的女性在经前阶段进行测试时,更准确地检测面部情绪,在检测悲伤情绪方面尤其准确。研究结果表明,患有经前焦虑障碍的女性在检测面部情绪方面更好,并表现出经前焦虑障碍经前情绪检测的优势。经前烦躁不安的女性倾向于更好地检测他人的情绪,特别是当他们处于经前周期阶段时,会有好处。作为经前期综合征对女性潜在有益影响的首批报道之一,这些发现可能有助于减少与经前焦虑障碍和经前综合征相关的耻辱。需要进一步的研究来复制和扩展这些发现。
UNASSIGNED: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is a depressive disorder affecting 5%-8% of people with menstrual cycles. Despite evidence that facial emotion detection is altered in depressive disorders, with enhanced detection of negative emotions (negativity bias), minimal research exists on premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
UNASSIGNED: The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms and the premenstrual phase on accuracy and intensity at detection of facial emotions.
UNASSIGNED: Cross-sectional quasi-experimental design.
UNASSIGNED: The Facial Emotion Detection Task was administered to 72 individuals assigned female at birth with no premenstrual dysphoric disorder (n = 30), and provisional PMDD (n = 42), based on a retrospective Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition-based measure of premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Facial emotion detection was examined both irrespective of menstrual cycle phase, and as a function of premenstrual phase (yes, no). The task used neutral-to-emotional facial expression morphs (15 images/morph). Participants indicated the emotion detected for each image within the progressive intensity morph. For all six basic emotions (sad, angry, fearful, happy,
disgust, and surprise), two scores were calculated: accuracy of responses and the intensity within the morph at which the correct emotion was first detected (image number).
UNASSIGNED: Individuals reporting moderate/severe symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder had more accurate and earlier detection of
disgust, regardless of cycle phase. In addition, those with provisional premenstrual dysphoric disorder detected sad emotions earlier. A premenstrual dysphoric disorder group × cycle phase interaction also emerged: individuals reporting premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms were more accurate at detecting facial emotions during the premenstrual phase compared to the rest of the cycle, with a large effect size for sad emotions.
UNASSIGNED: The findings suggest enhanced facial emotion processing in individuals reporting symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, particularly for sadness and
disgust. However, replication is required with larger samples and prospective designs. This premenstrual dysphoric disorder premenstrual emotion detection advantage suggests an adaptive cognitive mechanism in premenstrual syndrome/premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and challenges stigma surrounding premenstrual experiences.
Women with Severe Premenstrual Syndrome or Probable Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder are Better at Identifying Emotional Expressions on People’s Faces, Especially During the Premenstrual PhasePremenstrual dysphoric disorder is a depressive disorder affecting women where they experience emotional and physical symptoms during the premenstrual phase (i.e. the week before one’s period). It is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome. Research indicates that depression can affect facial emotion recognition. Accurately recognizing other people’s emotions is an important skill that helps us develop social connections and keep ourselves and others safe. Quick recognition of facial emotions allows us to understand and support others, and quickly identify dangerous situations by recognizing other people’s emotional responses. The goal of this study was to examine how premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms and the premenstrual phase may affect the ability of women to recognize and identify emotions on other people’s faces. A total of 72 women (42 with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, 30 without premenstrual dysphoric disorder) completed the Facial Emotion Detection Task. This task measured how accurate and early the women were able to detect happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, and
disgust in faces. Women with moderate/severe symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder had more accurate and earlier detection of
disgust, regardless of where they were in their menstrual cycle. Women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder detected sad emotions earlier. Furthermore, women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder were more accurate at detecting facial emotions when they were tested in the premenstrual phase, and were especially more accurate in detecting sad emotions. The findings suggest that women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder are better at detecting facial emotions and show a premenstrual dysphoric disorder premenstrual emotion detection advantage. This tendency for women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder to better detect emotions in others, particularly when they are in the premenstrual cycle phase, would have benefits. As one of the first reports of a potentially beneficial effect of premenstrual syndrome for women, the findings may help decrease stigma associated with premenstrual dysphoric disorder and premenstrual syndrome. Further research is needed to replicate and extend these findings.
