Title of project:
Affective cognitive control and depression: creating a new evidence base for prevention.
Proposal summary:
AIMS
The aim of the proposed project is to investigate a specific cognitive process that has been hypothesized by several neuropsychological models to play a causal role in depression; affective cognitive control. The study aims to address the lack of population based studies using computer based behavioural measures of affective cognitive control to investigate a) cross-sectional and longitudinal associations with depression and b) associations between potentially preventable environmental risk factors and affective cognitive control in adolescence. Findings of the research are intended to contribute to an evidence base for new prevention strategies for depression that target affective cognitive control.
