目的孤独在年轻人中很常见，并与负面健康结果有关。由于孤独感与将社会情境解读为威胁的偏见有关，解读认知偏见修正（CBM-I）训练是一种潜在的早期干预工具。我们开发并提供了一次心理意象增强的数字CBM-I训练，评估解释风格和孤独感变化的可行性、可接受性和幅度。方法以18 ~ 25岁有孤独经历的青少年为研究对象，采用共同创作的方法编制cbm - i培训材料。另一组18 - 25岁的孤独感高的人接受在线CBM-I （n = 29）或对照（n = 27）训练。结果scbm - i培训接受率为88%，保留率为92%。参与者认为培训是可以接受的。cbm - 1组的社会威胁解释减少（d= 0.77），社会良性解释增加（d= 0.84），孤独感减少（d= 0.56）。对照组的社会威胁解释略有减少（d= 0.21），社会良性解释没有变化（d= 0.04），孤独感增加（d= 0.41）。结论与青少年孤独感相关的解释偏差是可以改变的，CBM-I训练可以减少青少年的孤独感。这为孤独感的心理模型和针对年轻人孤独感的CBM-I干预措施的发展提供了信息。
ObjectiveLoneliness is common among young people and is associated with negative health outcomes. Because loneliness is associated with a bias for interpreting social situations as threatening, cognitive bias modification for interpretation (CBM-I) training is a potential early intervention tool. We developed and delivered a single session of mental imagery enhanced digital CBM-I training, assessing feasibility, acceptability, and magnitude of change in interpretational style and loneliness.MethodCBM-I training materials were developed using a co-creation approach with 18–25-year-olds with experience of loneliness. Another group of 18–25-year-olds with high loneliness received either online CBM-I (n = 29) or control (n = 27) training.ResultsCBM-I training uptake and retention rates were 88% and 92%, respectively. Participants found the training acceptable. The CBM-I group showed a reduction in social threat interpretations (d= 0.77), an increase in social benign interpretations (d= 0.84), and a decrease in loneliness (d= 0.56). The control group showed a small reduction in social threat interpretations (d= 0.21), no change in social benign interpretations (d= 0.04), and an increase in loneliness (d= 0.41).ConclusionsInterpretation biases relevant to youth loneliness may be modifiable, and CBM-I training could reduce feelings of loneliness. This informs psychological models of loneliness, and the development of CBM-I interventions targeting loneliness in young people.
