大学生社交焦虑的注意偏向矫正训练

Attentional Training for Social Anxiety in College Students

目的:考察注意偏向矫正如何影响高社交焦虑个体的负性注意偏向和焦虑反应。方法:对高社交焦虑大学生被试(18人)进行连续四天的注意偏向矫正训练,并观测训练前后被试自我报告的焦虑症状、点探测和眼球追踪任务中对愤怒面孔的注意偏向,以及压力性社交任务所引起的心率变化。结果:经过注意偏向矫正,高社交焦虑被试花费更长时间初次偏向性地将注视点落在愤怒-中性面孔对中的愤怒面孔上,同时其在社交压力下表现出更低的心率升高程度。结论:注意偏向矫正训练有助于改善高社交焦虑个体对威胁刺激的警觉及在社交情境中的焦虑反应。

Objective： To examine the effects of attentional bias modification training on negative attentional bias and anxiety reactivity among a sample of individuals reporting high level of social anxiety. Methods： Collected data related to changes in self-reported anxiety symptoms, attentional bias toward angry faces（measured using the dot-probe and eyetracking tasks）, and changes in heart rates induced by a stressful social task among college students（n= 18） with high level of social anxiety before and after a four-day attentional bias modification（ABM） training. Results： After ABM training, highsocial-anxiety individuals spent longer time preferentially orienting their initial eye fixations to the angry faces in the angryneutral face pairs, and showed smaller increases in heart rates under social stress. Conclusion： The current study provides preliminary evidence suggesting that ABM training is effective in reducing vigilance to threatening stimuli and anxiety reactivity in social situations among individuals reporting high levels of social anxiety.
