The effects of postnatal maternal depression and anxiety on the processing of infant faces.

Analyses on correct trials only, yielded a similar pattern of results for intensity of identification of happy faces; participants with GAD identified happy faces at a significantly lower intensity than control participants, t(86) = − 2.31, p = 0.005, η 2 = 0.24, and participants with depression, compared to control participants, showed a nonsignificant trend in the same direction, t(86) = − 1.71, p = 0.05, η 2 = 0.18.

Planned contrasts revealed that participants with depression were significantly less accurate in identifying happy faces than controls, t(86) = − 2.39, p = 0.005, η 2 = 0.25, but participants with GAD were not significantly different from controls although they showed a trend in the same direction, t(86) = − 1.68, p = 0.05, η 2 = 0.18 ( Fig. 1 a).
