Outcome-specific composite scores were defined based on significant differences and interactions of outcomes between patients and controls (see Table 2).

^*As not all subjects misclassified characteristics during emotional categorization, these mean reaction-times are based on less subjects (16 with recurrence and 16 resilient).

^§Cases with Positive Acc. – Negative Acc = 0 omitted from analyses (7 recurrent /7 resilient).

Bold value indicate significance at p < 0.05.
