消极解释是抑郁症认知模型的核心组成部分。先前对抑郁症解释偏差的研究依赖于自我报告措施。自我报告测量的有效性有限，因为它们可能测量的是反应偏差而不是认知偏差。为了克服这一限制，最近的研究使用响应延迟作为解释偏差的衡量标准，结果好坏参半。我们使用修改后的词句关联范式检查了解释偏差（Beard 和 Amir in Cogn Therapy Res 33:406-415, 2009）。与没有烦躁不安的人相比，烦躁不安的人明显更快地认可负面词和模棱两可的句子之间的关联。这些结果表明，消极解释是抑郁症的诱因，这表明针对良性解释的训练可能具有治疗价值。
Negative interpretations are a central component of cognitive models of depression. Previous research on interpretation biases in depression has relied on self-report measures. Self-report measures have limited validity because they may measure a response bias rather than a cognitive bias. To overcome this limitation, recent investigations have used response latencies as a measure of interpretation bias with mixed results. We examined interpretation bias using a modified word sentence association paradigm (Beard and Amir in Cogn Therapy Res 33:406-415, 2009). In comparison with individuals without dysphoria, dysphoric individuals were significantly faster to endorse the association between negative words and ambiguous sentences. These results suggest that negative interpretations are primed in depression, suggesting that training towards benign interpretations may have therapeutic value.
