Answer: People with depression recognized sad facial expressions more than other expressions and better than those who did not suffer from depression.
Explanation: Gollan, McCloskey, Hoxha and Coccaro carried out a study on people who suffered from depression to determine how they interpret facial expressions. The subjects of the study were presented with several photographs of people whose facial expressions indicated varying emotions.
A control group of people who did not suffer from depression were also presented the same photographs. The study showed that of all the facial depressions, people who had depression were better able to interpret sad facial expressions even when very subtle compared to other expressions or the control group.
