Rejection of Dysphoric Actors and Implications of Depressive Symptom Display
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study is an examination of the role of gender, symptom display and gender-role stereotypes on interpersonal rejection in depression. Recent research suggests that differential display of depressive symptomatology during interactions may depend on the gender of the interaction partner. Such differences may account for the reported disparate levels of interpersonal rejection. Male and female undergraduates were videotaped while viewing videotapes of male or female actors, depicting dysphoric or nondysphoric roles, whom they expected to meet in an upcoming interaction. Self-report measures indicated that actors portraying dysphoric roles were more rejected than actors portraying nondysphoric roles by both males and females. Observer ratings of videotapes revealed that participants showed less body movement when watching dysphoric actors, and less eye diversion when watching the female dysphoric actor. Males showed fewer adaptors when watching dysphoric actors. Lower participant empathy was related to greater rejection of dysphoric targets and also served as a moderator in the rejection of female dysphoric actors. Femininity was associated with greater acceptance of actors, independent of mood displayed. Results are discussed with reference to the role of symptom display in rejection.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
