解释偏误，定义为将模糊的刺激解释为威胁的倾向，被认为在社交恐惧症的维持中起着核心作用。然而，认知行为疗法（CBT）对这种偏见的影响尚未确定。本研究探讨了解释偏见的个人与广泛的社会恐怖症（GSP）谁已与CBT，未经处理的GSP，和nonanxious控制（NAC）。结果表明，未处理的GSP有较高的负偏差分数比处理的GSP和NAC的强制选择措施的解释偏差，虽然后两组没有差异。根据研究假设，在未处理的GSP中发现的解释偏差是特定于社会项目的，当与对照组相比，评分员对参与者对场景的最初书面反应进行编码时，这种解释偏差是明显的。接受治疗的患者具有开放性反应，与对照组或未接受治疗的GSP无差异。研究结果进行了讨论的背景下，其他普惠制的解释偏差的研究，并建议未来的研究方向。
Interpretation bias, defined as the tendency to interpret ambiguous stimuli as threatening, is thought to play a central role in the maintenance of social phobia. However, the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on this bias has not been determined. The present study examined interpretation bias in individuals with generalized social phobia (GSP) who had been treated with CBT, untreated GSPs, and nonanxious controls (NACs). Results indicated that untreated GSPs had higher negative bias scores than treated GSPs and NACs on a forced-choice measure of interpretation bias, although the latter two groups did not differ. Following study hypotheses, the interpretation bias found in untreated GSPs was specific to social items, and was evident when raters coded participants' initial written responses to the scenarios, when compared with control subjects. Treated patients had open-ended responses that did not differ from controls or untreated GSPs. Findings are discussed in the context of other GSP interpretation bias studies, and future research directions are recommended.
