Emotion recognition from faces with in- and out-group features in patients with depression.

Background: Previous research has shown that context (e.g. culture) can have an impact on speed and accuracy when identifying facial expressions of emotion.

Attachment style moderates theory of mind abilities in depression.

Introduction: Being able to understand other people's emotions and intentions is crucial for social interactions and well-being. Deficits in theory of mind (ToM) functioning hamper this ability and have been observed in depression and other neuropsychiatric disorders. However, results of previous research in depression have been inconclusive, possibly due to the presence of comorbid disorders and the disregarding of other modulating factors.
