Effects of depressive symptoms on neuronal processing of social evaluative feedback and subsequent changes in expectations and self-view.
Article in Psychological medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSocial interaction is a primary aspect of communicating how others judge us. It allows us to update ourselves and our expectations about others. While humans generally exhibit self-related positive biases in their updating behavior, theoretical accounts propose that this biased processing is attenuated, absent, or negatively biased in participants with depressive symptoms. The process of aligning and integrating social evaluative feedback in realistic interaction scenarios that would test this assumption is, however, lacking. We provide an event-related potential (ERP) study that combines neuronal (feedback-related negativity [FRN] and late positive potential [LPP]) and behavioral measures of evaluative feedback processing and updating behavior.
methodsWe selected healthy adults (
resultsParticipants with higher depression scores exhibited more negative initial self-ratings and developed a more negative feedback expectation across the experiment. In addition, we found that higher depression scores led to more negative updating toward worse expert feedback and less positive updating after better peer feedback. Concerning ERPs, unexpected but not self-incongruent feedback increased the FRN, while both types of incongruence increased the LPP. Finally, BDI scores correlated with LPP amplitudes for all feedback.
conclusionsThe results contribute to a deeper understanding of how individuals process and integrate social evaluative feedback and its relation to depressive symptoms.
