摘要: 阈下抑郁(Subthreshold Depression, SD)是介于心理健康与重性抑郁障碍之间的亚临床状态，具有症状隐匿、患病率高及易进展为临床抑郁的特点。近年来研究表明，阈下抑郁个体已出现以负性注意偏向和积极刺激加工减弱为主要特征的情绪加工异常。眼动追踪技术能够实时记录个体视觉注意分配过程，为揭示阈下抑郁的注意偏向及情绪加工特点提供了新的研究手段。本文系统综述了阈下抑郁情绪加工的眼动研究进展，重点梳理了眼动实验范式、注意偏向特征、情绪加工异常及其在阈下抑郁识别中的应用进展，并分析了当前研究存在的局限与未来发展方向。现有研究表明，眼动特征在阈下抑郁的辅助识别和客观化评估方面具有较好的应用潜力，但其临床应用仍需进一步推进研究范式标准化、多模态融合及临床验证。本综述可为阈下抑郁的早期识别、客观化评估及智能化筛查提供理论依据，并为相关研究和临床应用提供参考。
Abstract: Subthreshold depression (SD) is a subclinical state between mental health and major depressive disorder, characterized by insidious symptoms, high prevalence, and a high likelihood of progressing to clinical depression. Recent studies have shown that individuals with SD exhibit abnormal emotional processing, primarily characterized by negative attentional bias and reduced processing of positive stimuli. Eye-tracking technology can record an individual’s visual attention allocation process in real time, providing a new research tool for revealing the attentional bias and emotional processing characteristics of SD. This article systematically reviews the progress of eye-tracking research on emotional processing in SD, focusing on eye-tracking experimental paradigms, attentional bias characteristics, emotional processing abnormalities, and their application in SD identification. It also analyzes the limitations of current research and future development directions. Existing research indicates that eye-tracking features have good application potential in the auxiliary identification and objective assessment of SD, but their clinical application still requires further advancements in research paradigm standardization, multimodal fusion, and clinical validation. This review can provide a theoretical basis for the early identification, objective assessment, and intelligent screening of SD, and offer a reference for related research and clinical applications.
