该实验测试了社交恐惧症患者是否通过一系列情绪表达将注意力转移到正面或远离正面。修改后的点探测范式（J. Abnorm. Psychol. 95 (1986) 15）测量了参与者是否更多地关注面部或家庭物品。当探针出现在家居物品的位置时，20 名社交恐惧症患者能够更快地识别探针，无论面部表情是否积极。中性或负面。相比之下，对照组没有表现出注意力偏好。结果与最近的社交恐惧症理论一致，该理论强调减少外部社交线索的处理在维持社交焦虑中的作用。 (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The experiment tested whether patients with social phobia direct their attention to or away front faces with a range of emotional expressions. A modified dot probe paradigm (J. Abnorm. Psychol. 95 (1986) 15) measured whether participants attended more to faces or to household objects. Twenty patients with social phobia were faster in identifying the probe when it occurred in the location of the household objects, regardless of whether the facial expressions were positive. neutral, or negative. In contrast, controls did not exhibit an attentional preference. The results are in line with recent theories of social phobia that emphasize the role of reduced processing of external social cues in maintaining social anxiety. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
