认知理论表明，信息处理偏差在情绪障碍的发展和维持中发挥着核心作用。本文回顾了最近关于社交恐惧症信息处理偏差的研究，并考虑了这些研究结果对于理解这种情况持续存在的重要性。总的来说，这些研究表明社交恐惧症的特点是在以下方面存在偏见：对外部社会事件的解释：发现其他人的负面反应；外部处理和自我处理之间的注意力平衡；使用内部信息来推断一个人在他人眼中的形象；回忆关于一个人感知的、可观察的自我的负面信息；以及各种有问题的预测和事后类型的处理。如果这种偏见在维持社交焦虑方面发挥了作用，那么对偏见的实验操纵应该可以调节焦虑和反应。最近的几项研究证实了这一预测，但还需要进一步的研究。现有信息处理研究的方法学局限性得到了强调。最后，讨论了可能的神经生物学相关性，并为未来连接神经生物学和认知心理学的尝试提出了建议。 (C) 2002 年生物精神病学协会。
Cognitive theories suggest that information processing biases play a central role in the development and maintenance of emotional disorders. The present article reviews recent studies of information processing biases in social phobia and considers the significance of the findings for understanding the persistence of the condition. Taken together, the studies suggest that social phobia is characterized by biases in the following: interpretation of external social events: detection of negative responses from other people; the balance of attention between external and self-processing; the use of internal information to make inferences about how one appears to others; recall of negative information about one's perceived, observable self; and by a variety of problematic anticipator and post-event types of processing. If such biases play a role in maintaining social anxiety, experimental manipulation of the biases should modulate anxiety, responses. Several recent studies have confirmed this prediction, but further research is required. Methodological limitations of existing information processing studies are highlighted. Finally, possible neurobiological correlates are discussed and suggestions are made for future attempts to link neurobiology and cognitive psychology. (C) 2002 Society of Biological Psychiatry.
