Abstract
Consistent with interpersonal and cognitive models of depression, we found that RS was associated with increased attention for sad faces when participants were interpersonally rejected. Results provide preliminary evidence that rejection sensitivity may contribute to depression vulnerability via increased attention to depression-relevant information in the context of interpersonal rejection. Further research including clinically depressed participants and using longitudinal approaches are necessary to confirm this potential relationship.
