A behavioral protocol to assess the relationship between three cognitive biases and future depression severity.

ABSTRACT: According to the cognitive model of depression, memory bias, interpretation bias, and attention bias are associated with the development and maintenance of depression. Here, we present a protocol for investigating whether and how the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may affect the relationship between current cognitive biases and future depression severity in a population with non-clinical depression. This protocol can also be used in other contexts, including cognitive bias-related studies and depression-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhang et al. (2021).
