The current study examined the nature and consequences of attributions about unsuccessful thought suppression. Undergraduate students with either high (n=67) or low (n=59) levels of obsessive-compulsive symptoms rated attributions to explain their unsuccessful thought suppression attempts. We expected that self-blaming attributions and attributions ascribing importance to unwanted thoughts would predict more distress and greater recurrence of thoughts during time spent monitoring or suppressing unwanted thoughts. Further, we expected that these attributions would mediate the relationship between obsessive-compulsive symptom levels and the negative thought suppression outcomes (distress and thought recurrence). Structural equation models largely confirmed the hypotheses, suggesting that attributions may be an important factor in explaining the consequences of thought suppression. Implications are discussed for cognitive theories of obsessive-compulsive disorder and thought suppression.
本研究探讨了对思维抑制失败的归因的本质及后果。有高（n = 67）或低（n = 59）强迫症状水平的本科生对其思维抑制失败的尝试进行了解释归因。我们预期，自我责备归因以及将重要性归于 unwanted 想法的归因，会在监测或抑制 unwanted 想法期间预测出更多的痛苦以及想法的更高复发率。此外，我们预期这些归因会介导强迫症状水平与消极思维抑制结果（痛苦和思维复发）之间的关系。结构方程模型在很大程度上证实了这些假设，表明归因可能是解释思维抑制后果的一个重要因素。文中讨论了对强迫症认知理论和思维抑制的启示。
