Thought suppression is a strategy aimed at mental control that may paradoxically increase the frequency of unwanted thoughts. This preliminary study examined effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on thought suppression and depression in individuals with past depression and suicidality.
In a randomized controlled trial design, 68 participants were allocated to an MBCT group or a treatment-as-usual waitlist control. Measures of thought suppression and depression were taken pre- and post-treatment.
MBCT did not reduce thought suppression as measured by the White Bear Suppression Inventory, but significantly reduced self-reported attempts to suppress in the previous week.
Preliminary evidence suggests that MBCT for suicidality may reduce thought suppression, but differential effects on thought suppression measures warrant further studies.
思维抑制是一种旨在进行心理控制的策略，但可能会适得其反地增加 unwanted thoughts 的频率。这项初步研究探讨了基于正念的认知疗法（MBCT）对有过抑郁和自杀倾向个体的思维抑制及抑郁的影响。
采用随机对照试验设计，将68名参与者分配到MBCT组或常规治疗等待名单对照组。在治疗前后进行思维抑制和抑郁的测量。
通过白熊抑制量表测量，MBCT并未降低思维抑制，但显著减少了自我报告的前一周内的抑制尝试。
初步证据表明，针对自杀倾向的MBCT可能会减少思维抑制，但对思维抑制测量的不同影响值得进一步研究。
