This article investigates the interpersonal processes associated with the dyadic isolation of individuals with depressive symptoms. We hypothesize that such individuals tend to initiate more and stay longer in dyadic interactions compared to group interactions (dyadic preference hypothesis) and that individuals—irrespective of their own level of depressive symptoms—tend to join and stay longer in interactions when interaction partners have lower levels of depressive symptoms (depression avoidance hypothesis). We analyze two data sets (N = 123) of face-to-face interaction events (N = 86,915) collected with proximity badges at a social event. Hypotheses are tested using a relational event model (DyNAM-i) specifically tailored for modeling group interactions. In line with the dyadic preference hypotheses, individuals with higher levels of depressive symptoms are found to be more likely to join and stay in dyadic interactions. Post hoc analyses reveal that this result only applies to female participants. We find limited support for the depression avoidance hypotheses. date: 2024-09-24 date_type: published publisher: American Sociological Association id_number: 10.1177/01902725241276407 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/129788 faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: depression keywords: dyadic isolation keywords: face-to-face interaction keywords: relational event model keywords: social interaction keywords: social isolation keywords: social networks language: en has_fulltext: FALSE doi: 10.1177/01902725241276407 view_date_year: 2024 full_text_status: none publication: Social Psychology Quarterly refereed: TRUE issn: 1939-8999 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:129788 harvester_local_overwrite: hal_id harvester_local_overwrite: hal_version harvester_local_overwrite: hal_url harvester_local_overwrite: hal_passwd oai_lastmod: 2024-09-26T13:46:22Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 hal_id: hal-04716695 hal_passwd: n0&ns5 hal_version: 1 hal_url: https://hal.science/hal-04716695 citation: Hoffman, Marion , Stadtfeld, Christoph and Elmer, Timon (2024) Dyadic Isolation in Social Interactions: The Role of Depressive Symptoms.
