Nonverbal social withdrawal in depression: Evidence from manual and automatic analyses

作者：

Highlights：

• We investigated the relation between nonverbal behavior and severity of depression.

• When symptoms were severe, participants showed less AU 12 and AU 15 and more AU 14.

• When symptoms were severe, participants' head motion was reduced in size and speed.

• The pattern of findings was highly consistent for automated and manual measurements.

• The findings support the hypothesis of nonverbal social withdrawal in depression.
