据报道，有五个实验表明，通过系统性地接触一致的样本，可以修改对个人相关情绪信息的解释。参与者被诱导以相对威胁性或良性的方式解读模棱两可的信息。与基线条件的比较表明，消极诱导和积极诱导具有相似但相反的效果。解释偏差的诱导不需要主动产生与个人相关的意义，但在状态焦虑与诱导的解释偏差发生平行变化之前，这种主动加工是必要的。这些发现提供了与使用解释偏见和焦虑之间的因果联系相一致的证据，并揭示了这种联系背后的一些过程。
Five experiments are reported showing that the interpretation of personally relevant emotional information can be modified by systematic exposure to congruent exemplars. Participants were induced to interpret ambiguous information in a relatively threatening or a benign way. Comparison with a baseline condition suggested that negative and positive induction had similar but opposing effects. Induction of an interpretative bias did not require active generation of personally relevant meanings, but such active processing was necessary before state anxiety changed in parallel with the induced interpretative bias. These findings provide evidence consistent with a causal link between the deployment of interpretative bias and anxiety and reveal something of the processes underlying this association.
