Figure 2. — Displayed are individual values of VALENCE scores = difference of mean valence (NEG_SA – NEG_OA) and CONCEPT scores = difference of mean number of concepts (NEG_SA – NEG_OA) for N = 56 participants (29 control, 27 MDD). A univariate AN(C)OVA (corrected model: R² = .26, F = 6.2, p = .001) showed a main effect of VALENCE on CONCEPT (F = 6.5, p = .01) and an interaction of group by VALENCE (F = 9.2, p = .004) with no main effect of group (F = .09, p = .76). The interaction was due to people with MDD showing a higher interdependence of CONCEPT and VALENCE scores in the expected direction (MDD: B = −.60, t = −4.2, p < .0001; Control: B = .05, t = .33, p = .75) such that self-agency-selective conceptual overgeneralization (i.e., high CONCEPT scores) was associated with self-agency-selective negative valence biases (i.e., low VALENCE scores).
