通过注意训练调节情绪:方法及证据

Regulating Emotion through Attentional Training:Paradigms and Evidences

在情绪调节领域,注意训练受到广泛关注。现有的注意训练主要包括4种训练范式:点探测任务、视觉搜索任务、目标指向注意训练和注意训练技术;均通过改变个体的注意模式从而实现情绪调节,其调节情绪的效果得到了多数研究的支持。其中点探测任务最受关注,已发展出包含多次训练,持续数周的训练任务。点探测任务亦可通过网络传输,由受训者在家中电脑上完成,更易为社交障碍的患者接受,也开始受到关注。今后的研究需进一步关注注意训练的长期效果,基于家庭的注意训练,以及注意训练对情绪障碍的预防。

Attentional training has raised considerable interest in the field of emotion regulation. Substantial research has suggested that attentional training can regulate emotion via changing the process of attention. There are four training paradigms： dot-probe task, visual search task, goal-directed attentional training task and attention training technique （ATT）. Among the four paradigms, dot-probe task has been investigated most extensively. Researchers have developed multiple-session training which lasts few weeks. In addition, home-based attentional training based on dot-probe task can be done without experimenter＇s presence at home. Therefore it is a promising substitute of traditional psychotherapy for individuals with psychopathology. Future studies may benefit from examining the long-term effects of attentional training, exploring the utility of home-based attentional training, and testifying the preventative effects of attentional training on emotional disorder.
