Abstract
A significant clinical feature of depression involves difficulties in social functioning. At the foundation of these difficulties may lie alterations in “theory of mind” reasoning—the ability to decode others' mental states. Participants included 124 undergraduates who participated in a theory of mind task that involved attributing emotion states (e.g., happy, embarrassed) to photographs of eyes. Across two studies, dysphoria was significantly positively associated with greater accuracy on this task, suggesting an increased sensitivity to the subtle social cues required to make theory of mind judgements. This association held regardless of the emotional valence of the judgement. Furthermore, this finding was robust after controlling for reaction time and level of anxiety. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for developing a model of social cognition in depression.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
