社交焦虑个体对于不同威胁信息的注意偏向

The Attentional Bias of Different Threatening Words among High Social Anxiety Subjects

目的:研究社交焦虑个体对不同类型词语的注意偏向。方法:被试41名,采用情绪Stroop范式,研究词与非词不同比例条件下高低社交焦虑个体对不同类型词(被关注词、被评价词、躯体威胁性词、中性词和非词)的注意偏向。结果:在词和非词比例高的条件下,高社交焦虑组在负性评价词和受他人关注词上的Stroop效应显著大于低社交焦虑组。结论:高社交焦虑个体对负性评价和他人关注的词语存在注意偏向。

This research aimed to investigate how attention to different kinds of words （supervisory, evaluational, bodily threatening, neutral words and non-words） would be affected by social anxiety. 21 high and 20 low scored Ss on the social anxiety scale partlcipateal in the study. The emotional Stroop test was employed with different ratios of words to non-words （3：1 and 1：3）. Statistical analysis found that those who had high scores in social anxiety scale had a much greater interference effect in supervisory and evaluational words than those who had low scores, when the ratio of words to non-words was 3： 1. The results suggested that high socially anxious individuals tended to avoid specific threatening words, which gave evidence to both vigilance hypothesis and threat-specific theories.
