Background: Beck’s cognitive model of depression posits that a cognitive triad characterized by a negative view of the self, the world, and the future, may underlie the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive biases in depressed individuals. Nonetheless, it is unclear if there is an attentional bias toward future-oriented stimuli and how it relates to depressive symptomatology.Method: 123 females (18-32 years of age) participated in this study. Reaction time differences for correct responses to negative and neutral valence stimuli as well as present- and future-oriented stimuli in adapted Stroop and Dot Probe tasks were submitted to Bayesian correlations with Beck Depression Inventory scores and multivariate multiple linear regression with several mood and emotional status tests’ scores.Results: Bayes factors supported the absence of correlations between attentional biases and depressive symptomatology. While future-oriented biases did not predict test scores, attentional bias to negative stimuli in the Dot Probe task predicted anhedonia and depressive symptomatology.Conclusions: In subclinical populations, attentional biases for future-oriented stimuli seem independent of depressive symptoms and attentional biases for negative stimuli. The latter predicts the severity of anhedonia and general depressive symptoms, pointing to a symptom-specific relation between cognitive biases and the emotional symptoms domain.
