为了评估强迫症的认知理论，目前的研究实验性地操纵了对侵入性思维重要性的评估。本科生(N=156)完成了强迫症(OCD)症状和信念的测量，并预先准备了一份经常报告的有害想法的清单。然后，参与者被告知，不想要的想法要么是(1)重要的，表明他们个人价值观的，要么(2)没有意义的，或者(3)参与者没有收到关于不想要的想法的指示。然后，参与者完成了对自己不想要的想法的内隐和显性的自我评估和解释。结果表明，操纵使对有害思想的内隐评价向预期方向移动，而不是对道德或危险性的自我评价。有趣的是，外显的自尊和对不想要的想法的重要性的信念与强迫症信念的测量有关，而内隐的危险自我评估通过先前存在的强迫症信念和操纵的交互作用得到更好的预测。根据对不想要的想法的内隐和显性反应的不同预测因素，对结果进行了讨论。(C)2005爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
To evaluate cognitive theories of obsessions, the current study experimentally manipulated appraisals of the importance of intrusive thoughts. Undergraduate students (N = 156) completed measures of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms and beliefs and were primed with a list of commonly reported unwanted thoughts. Participants were then informed that unwanted thoughts are either (1) significant and indicative of their personal values, or (2) meaningless, or participants (3) received no instructions about unwanted thoughts. Participants then completed implicit and explicit measures of self-evaluation and interpretations of their unwanted thoughts. Results indicated that the manipulation shifted implicit appraisals of unwanted thoughts in the expected direction, but not self-evaluations of morality or dangerousness. Interestingly, explicit self-esteem and beliefs about the significance of unwanted thoughts were associated with measures of OCD beliefs, whereas implicit self-evaluations of dangerousness were better predicted by the interaction of pre-existing OCD beliefs with the manipulation. Results are discussed in terms of divergent predictors of implicit and explicit responses to unwanted thoughts. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
