先前的研究表明，高度反刍的性格特征是在1,000毫秒的曝光时间的抑郁信息的注意偏差。然而，目前还不清楚这种注意偏向是否反映了易化的注意参与抑郁信息，或受损的注意脱离这些信息。本研究就是为了解决这一问题。在最近的理论建议，我们的研究结果表明，提高反刍倾向只与受损的注意力脱离抑郁的信息，并不涉及促进注意力参与这些信息。除了解决这个关键问题，本研究还为先前的主张提供了一致的支持，即反刍相关的注意偏向是特定于致抑郁信息的，并且也为以下论点提供了权重，即反刍相关的注意偏向可能只有在通过使用刺激暴露持续时间1，我们讨论了这些研究结果的理论意义，并强调未来研究的关键问题。
Previous research has demonstrated that heightened ruminative disposition is characterized by an attentional bias to depressogenic information at 1,000-ms exposure durations. However, it is unknown whether this attentional bias reflects facilitated attentional engagement with depressogenic information, or impaired attentional disengagement from such information. The present study was designed to address this question. In keeping with recent theoretical proposals, our findings demonstrate that heightened ruminative disposition is associated only with impaired attentional disengagement from depressogenic information, and does not involve facilitated attentional engagement with such information. In addition to resolving this key issue, the present study provided converging support for the previous claim that rumination-linked attentional bias is specific to depressogenic information, and also lends weight to the contention that rumination-linked attentional bias may be evident only when controlled attentional processing is readily permitted by using stimulus exposure durations of 1,000 ms. We discuss the theoretical implications of these findings and highlight key issues for future research.
