Cognitive models of depression, which propose that depression is associated with negatively biased thinking, have typically focused on either the content or the processes of depressive cognition. Content-based models suggest that depressive thought is more negative for self-relevant than for externally-focused content. Process-based models propose that early, automatic processes are not negatively biased in depression, but that deeper processes are biased. The current review evaluates evidence for both the self-relevant content and depth of processing accounts, and concludes that there is substantial evidence for both models. I call for further research which integrates content and process-based approaches by using self-relevant stimuli and cognitive measures which precisely identify the specific attention, memory, and interpretation processes affected in depression.
