Abstract: Greater sensitivity to aversive events exhibited by depressed individuals has been assumed to be a correlate of current depression. Alternatively, Lewinsohn (1985) has proposed that this greater sensitivity may be a predisposing factor in the development of a depressive episode and/or that this sensitivity represents a "scar", resulting from the previous experience of a depressive episode (1988). The present study examined sensitivity to aversive events in currently and remitted depressed subjects to test the correlate versus predisposing-scar hypotheses.
