Key Points

This research aims to explore how negative processing biases relate to future symptoms of depression.
Administered the Scrambled Sentences Test (SST) to a large sample of undergraduates.
Collected self-report measures on thought suppression, current depression levels, and past depression.
Analyzed the impact of cognitive load on the SST's predictive ability for depression.
High SST scores predicted depression symptoms 4 to 6 weeks later (p<0.05).
SST with cognitive load predicted depression for both genders, while SST without load predicted depression in women only.
Among men, high thought suppression combined with high SST-load scores strongly indicated vulnerability to depression.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
