The present study was designed to examine the effects of a disgust mood state on negative interpretation bias, in particular in the domain of body and weight concerns. Participants (N = 120) were randomly assigned to one of four mood induction groups (i.e., disgust, anxiety, happy, and neutral) and were afterwards asked to respond to various types of ambiguous scenarios to index general threat interpretations, negative body-related interpretations, and neutral/positive interpretations. Results demonstrated that both the anxiety and disgust mood induction groups displayed higher levels of negative interpretations of the ambiguous threat scenarios than the neutral and happy groups. However, no evidence was obtained for a negative interpretation bias in the body-related domain for these negative mood groups, and this conclusion was also true for participants scoring high on a scale of eating disorder symptoms. Altogether, these findings suggest that disgust does not play a role in eating pathology by inducing a negative interpretation bias in the specific domain of body and weight concerns.
本研究旨在考察厌恶情绪状态对消极解释偏差的影响，特别是在身体和体重关注领域。参与者（N=120）被随机分配到四个情绪诱导组之一（即厌恶、焦虑、快乐和中性），然后被要求对各种类型的模糊情景做出反应，以标记一般威胁解释、消极的身体相关解释和中性/积极解释。结果表明，焦虑和厌恶情绪诱导组对模糊威胁情景的消极解释水平均高于中性和快乐组。然而，对于这些消极情绪组，在身体相关领域并没有发现消极解释偏差的证据，对于饮食障碍症状量表得分较高的参与者也是如此。总的来说，这些发现表明，厌恶情绪不会通过在身体和体重关注的特定领域引起消极解释偏差来导致进食障碍。
