Abstract
An estimate of verbosity derived from a 2-min. free response to photographs depicting facial affect was examined in a 2 (depressed-control) × 3 (happy-sad-fear) × 2 (red-blue) factorial design. 30 depressed patients uttered less significant comment than the 30 control subjects. The sad face triggered significantly larger vocabularies than other facial emotions while exposure in red or blue color produced a non-significant effect.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
