Disordered affect is a key feature of depression. Basic research on emotion and emotion regulation, therefore, promises to increase our understanding of depression vulnerability. Recent studies that examine cognitive processes that may underlie the ability to regulate emotion effectively have shown that depression is associated with deficits in cognitive control and that these deficits are related to difficulties in emotion regulation. This article reviews recent empirical evidence for these deficits in cognitive control, focusing on updating, shifting, and inhibition, and their relation to emotion dysregulation in depression. The review puts special emphasis on studies that examine neural correlates of cognitive control difficulties in this disorder and discusses future directions and treatment implications of this line of research.
