本研究旨在探讨个体对控制侵入性思维重要性的信念差异是否会影响抑制负面自传体记忆的效果。在第一阶段的研究中,165名本科生完成了控制分量表的解释入侵清单(III-31)。在III-31中得分最高(强信念)和最低(弱信念)的30%的学生被选中参加第二阶段。在第二阶段,这些“强”和“弱”的信念(N = 60)的学生人数相等,被随机分配到思想抑制或控制条件。正如预期的那样,指令抑制导致反弹效应;然而,与预测相反,关于控制侵入性思想的重要性的信念差异并不影响思想抑制能力。研究结果的影响,理解元认知的思想抑制的影响进行了讨论。
This study sought to investigate whether an individual difference in beliefs regarding the importance of controlling intrusive thoughts influenced the effect of suppressing negative autobiographical memories. In Phase I of the study, 165 undergraduate students completed the control-subscale of the Interpretations of Intrusions Inventory (III-31). Students with scores in the top (strong beliefs) and bottom (weak beliefs) 30% of the III-31 were selected to participate in Phase II. In Phase II an equal number of students with these 'strong' and 'weak' beliefs (N = 60) were randomised to either a thought suppression or control condition. As expected, instructions to suppress resulted in a rebound effect; however, contrary to predictions, differences in beliefs regarding the importance of controlling intrusive thoughts did not influence thought suppression ability. The implications of the findings for understanding the influence of metacognition on thought suppression are discussed.
