这项研究测试了相对较低的内感准确性(IACC)水平是否与躯体变形障碍(BDD)症状有关。此外，鉴于有研究表明权力使个体与其内部状态协调一致，我们试图确定是否可以通过对权力的实验性操纵来提高状态间感觉的准确性。本科生女性(N=101)完成了内感准确性的基线测量，然后被随机分配到权力或对照条件下。参与者被给予权力或中性控制话题，然后完成一项状态为IACC的操作后测量。特质BDD症状通过自我报告测量进行评估。对照基线IACC，在控制条件下，特质BDD症状和内感准确性之间存在显著的负相关。继续对照基线IACC，在电力条件下，特质BDD症状和IACC之间没有显著的关系，这表明电力可能已经减弱了这种关系。在BDD症状学水平较高的情况下，实验条件也有显著的简单影响，因此在力量(与对照)条件下的参与者具有更好的内感准确性。这些结果提供了初步证据，表明在那些有高水平BDD症状的人中，权力可能会积极地影响感觉间的准确性。这项横断面研究利用了反映广泛症状的人口统计学上同质的女性样本；因此，尽管有许多参与者报告BDD症状增加，但这些发现可能不适用于其他人群或临床样本。。这项研究首次对特质BDD症状和IACC之间的关系进行了直接测试，并提供了初步证据，表明在那些有严重BDD症状的人中，权力可能有助于将个人与他们的内部状态联系起来。未来需要进行研究，测试BDD症状与IACC之间的联系机制，以及个体如何更好地与他们的内部经验联系起来。
This study tested whether relatively low levels of interoceptive accuracy (IAcc) are associated with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) symptoms. Additionally, given research indicating that power attunes individuals to their internal states, we sought to determine if state interoceptive accuracy could be improved through an experimental manipulation of power. Undergraduate women (N = 101) completed a baseline measure of interoceptive accuracy and then were randomized to a power or control condition. Participants were primed with power or a neutral control topic and then completed a post-manipulation measure of state IAcc. Trait BDD symptoms were assessed with a self-report measure. Controlling for baseline IAcc, within the control condition, there was a significant inverse relationship between trait BDD symptoms and interoceptive accuracy. Continuing to control for baseline IAcc, within the power condition, there was not a significant relationship between trait BDD symptoms and IAcc, suggesting that power may have attenuated this relationship. At high levels of BDD symptomology, there was also a significant simple effect of experimental condition, such that participants in the power (vs. control) condition had better interoceptive accuracy. These results provide initial evidence that power may positively impact interoceptive accuracy among those with high levels of BDD symptoms. This cross-sectional study utilized a demographically homogenous sample of women that reflected a broad range of symptoms; thus, although there were a number of participants reporting elevated BDD symptoms, these findings might not generalize to other populations or clinical samples. . This study provides the first direct test of the relationship between trait BDD symptoms and IAcc, and provides preliminary evidence that among those with severe BDD symptoms, power may help connect individuals with their internal states. Future research testing the mechanisms linking BDD symptoms with IAcc, as well as how individuals can better connect with their internal experiences is needed.
