Objective: To investigate relationship between automatic thoughts, degree of depression and event-related potentials(ERPs)stimulated by Chinese emotional words in patients with major depression.Methods: Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire(ATQ)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)were used to assess the automatic thoughts and degree of depression respectively, and the effect of the Chinese emotional words on ERPs were measured in 16 major depression patients. Three lists of words including 40 positive words, 40 negative words,and 120 neutral words were used as stimuli.Results:(1)ATQ scores were negatively correlated with N350 amplitude stimulated by negative words in FZ, F3 and F4(r=-0.514~-0.605, P<0.05). ATQ scores were also negatively correlated with N650 amplitude stimulated by positive words in CZ(r=-0.614,P<0.05).(2)SDS scores were positively correlated with N250 amplitude stimulated by positive words in FZ(r= 0.52, P<0.05), negatively correlated with N350 latency stimulated by positive words in F3(r=-0.534, P<0.05), negatively correlated with P490 latency stimulated by negative words in F3 and F4(r= -0.596,-0.503, P<0.05), and positively correlated with N650 latency stimulated by negative words in CZ(r=0.615, P<0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that the automatic thoughts and degree of depression are significantly relative with some components of ERPs elicited by the Chinese emotional words eliciting in patients with major depression.
