社交焦虑者对直视和斜视轻蔑表情的早期注意偏向

Early Attention Bias for Contemptuous Expression with Direct or Averted Gaze in non-Clinical Social Anxiety Disorders

目的:本研究旨在考察非临床社交焦虑个体对直视和斜视的轻蔑表情的注意偏向。方法:采用点探测范式和较短的刺激呈现时间(175毫秒),实验1考察了高、低社交焦虑的男性和女性个体对直视的轻蔑表情的注意偏向,实验2考察了高、低社交焦虑的女性个体对斜视的轻蔑表情的注意偏向。结果:实验1的结果发现,高焦虑女性对直视的轻蔑表情表现出注意偏向,而低焦虑女性对直视的轻蔑表情表现出了注意回避,男性个体没有表现出上述效应。实验二的结果发现,无论社交焦虑程度高低,被试均未对斜视的轻蔑表情表现出注意偏向或注意回避。结论:不同程度的社交焦虑者对直视的轻蔑表情表现出不同的早期注意偏向,该结果对于解释社交焦虑的形成原因以及社交焦虑的干预训练有启发意义。

Objective:The present study aimed to explore the early attention bias for contemptuous expression with di⁃rect or averted gaze in non-clinical social anxiety disorders.Methods:Adopted dot-probe task with short presentation time(175ms),Experiment 1(recruited both female and male subjects)and Experiment 2(only recruited female subjects)were conducted to explore the attention bias for contemptuous expressions with direct gaze or averted gaze in high and low social anxiety groups.Results:The results of Experiment 1 found that,females with high social anxiety showed attention bi⁃as for contemptuous expressions with direct gaze,while females with low social anxiety showed attention avoidance for these faces.None effect was found in males.Experiment 2 didn’t find any attention bias or avoidance in both high and low social anxiety groups for contemptuous expressions with averted gaze.Conclusion:This study made the first attempt to reveal the early attention bias for contemptuous expression with different gaze direction in non-clinical social anxiety people,which has important implications for exploring the causes and intervention training of social anxiety.
