在这项研究中，我们评估了改变情绪处理偏差的情感后果背后的认知机制。在“主动”训练期间，参与者选择情感上模糊的单词的威胁性或非威胁性含义，与此相反，在“被动”条件下，参与者阅读具有同等价意义的明确单词。正如词汇决策任务中所评估的那样，这两种方法都增强了对训练一致的引发情感意义的获取，尽管两种方法都没有显示出通常理解的诱导解释偏差的证据。然而，与之前的研究一致，这些方法在情绪后果上有所不同：主动训练对观看事故视频时的焦虑比被动暴露有更大的影响。我们对这些结果的解释是，这两种形式的训练都增强了价类别的启动，但只有主动条件才会诱导隐含的生产规则来生成和/或选择情感意义，而正是后一个过程对于情感的修改至关重要。版权所有 (C) 2010 约翰·威利父子有限公司
In this study we assessed the cognitive mechanisms underlying the affective consequences of modifying emotional processing biases. During 'active' training participants selected either threatening or non-threatening meanings of emotionally ambiguous words, in contrast to 'passive' conditions in which participants read unambiguous words with equivalent valenced meanings. Both methods enhanced access to training-congruent primed emotional meanings, as assessed in a lexical decision task, although neither method displayed evidence of an induced interpretive bias as it is usually understood. However, consistent with previous research, the methods differed in their emotional consequences: Active training had greater effects on anxiety while viewing an accident video than did passive exposure. We interpret these results to suggest that both forms of training enhance priming of a valenced category, but only active conditions induce an implicit production rule to generate and/or select emotional meanings, and that it is this latter process that is critical to the modification of emotionality.
