Description
Wisteria Deng and co-authors review in 2026 how rigid interpretation of social situations feeds mental illness. People constantly read ambiguous social cues, and trouble starts when first readings refuse to update against new evidence. The review gathers work on depression and psychosis within everyday social settings.
Depression showed narrow rigidity, clinging to negative readings of unclear events. Psychosis showed broader rigidity across pleasant and unpleasant material alike. Measurement tools increasingly test revision inside social scenes rather than abstract puzzles. Targeting stuck social readings may open fresh therapy routes for both conditions.
