Abstract

Depression is characterized by low positive emotionality (PE) and high negative emotionality (NE), as well as asymmetries in resting electroencephalography (EEG) alpha power. Moreover, frontal asymmetry has itself been linked to PE, NE, and related constructs. However, little is known about associations of temperamental PE and NE with resting EEG asymmetries in young children and whether this association changes as a function of development. In a longitudinal study of 254 three-year old children, we assessed PE and NE at age 3 using a standard laboratory observation procedure. Frontal EEG asymmetries were assessed at age 3 and three years later at age 6. We observed a significant three-way interaction of preschool PE and NE and age at assessment for asymmetry at F3-F4 electrode sites, such that children with both low PE and high NE developed a pattern of increasingly lower relative left-frontal cortical activity over time. In addition, F7-F8 asymmetry was predicted by a PE by time interaction, such that the frontal asymmetry in children with high PE virtually disappeared by age 6. Overall, these findings suggest that early temperament is associated with developmental changes in frontal asymmetry, and that the combination of low PE and high NE predicts the development of the pattern of frontal symmetry that is associated with depression.

In a previous paper, we found that maternal history of depression was associated with change in frontal asymmetry over time in an overlapping sample (Goldstein et al. 2016). To ensure that the effects in the current analyses were not driven by maternal depression, we ran additional models which included maternal depression and a maternal depression by age interaction as covariates. The results were largely unchanged by these covariates, suggesting that main effects of PE and NE, and their interactions with age, were not driven by maternal history of depression.

Parietal asymmetry has also been linked to depression; although, the evidence tends to be more inconsistent and it is less frequently studied (Thibodeau et al. 2006). Our group has previously found a relationship between temperament and parietal asymmetry (Shankman et al. 2005, 2011); therefore, we also ran additional models examining NE and PE with parietal asymmetry. We did find interactions between age and NE, but it was limited to P7-P8, whereas P3-P4 exhibited no associations with temperament. When conducting follow-up analyses at the P7-P8 pair, participants with low NE exhibited a pattern of greater relative left cortical activity that attenuated with age.

We also conducted additional models examining Behavioral Inhibition with asymmetries over time (for a description of how behavioral inhibition was scored from the Lab-TAB in this sample see Laptook et al. 2010). We did not find significant main or interaction effects with time, which parallels our results for the fearfulness effects.
