在两个实验中的第一个实验中,目前临床焦虑、恢复的临床焦虑和正常对照的SS呈现了一组明确的句子;后者既有威胁性的解释,也有非威胁性的解释。随后的再认记忆测试表明,当前焦虑的SS比正常对照组和恢复焦虑的SS更有可能以威胁性的方式而不是非威胁性的方式解读歧义句子。这表明,当前焦虑的学生对歧义的偏见解释反映了他们的焦虑情绪状态。第二个实验证明,当前焦虑的和对照的SS之间的解释过程的差异不是由于反应偏差,而且解释偏差是相当普遍的。
In the 1st of 2 experiments, currently clinically anxious, recovered clinically anxious, and normal control Ss were presented with a mixture of unambiguous sentences; both threatening and nonthreatening interpretations were possible for the latter. A subsequent recognition-memory test indicated that the currently anxious Ss were more likely than normal control and recovered anxious Ss to interpret the ambiguous sentences in a threatening fashion rather than in a nonthreatening fashion. This suggests that the biased interpretation of ambiguity found in currently anxious Ss reflected their anxious mood state. A 2nd experiment established that the difference in interpretative processes between currently anxious and control Ss was not due to response bias and that the interpretative bias was a reasonably general one.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
