Dual process models describe psychopathology as the consequence of an imbalance between a fast, impulsive system and a regulatory control system and have recently been applied to anxiety disorders. The aim of the current study was to specifically examine the role of a regulatory control system in regulating 1) threat-related interpretive bias and 2) the effectiveness of interpretive bias training in adolescents. In total, 67 adolescents participated and followed either a positive Cognitive Bias Modification of Interpretation (CBM-I) training or a placebo-control condition. Results revealed that interpretive bias and the effectiveness of its modification depended on individual differences in regulatory control. That is, low levels of regulatory control in combination with high levels of state anxiety were associated with the strongest threat-related interpretive bias and those individuals benefited the most of the positive interpretation training. The current study provided empirical support for the role of dual processes in adolescent threat-related interpretive bias.
双加工模型将精神病理学描述为快速、冲动系统与调节控制系统之间失衡的结果，并已被最近应用于焦虑障碍。本研究的目的是专门研究调节控制系统在调节以下方面的作用：1）与威胁相关的解释偏差，2）在青少年中解释偏差训练的效果。共有 67 名青少年参与并分别遵循积极的认知偏差修正解释（CBM-I）训练或安慰剂对照条件。结果表明，解释偏差及其修正效果取决于调节控制的个体差异。也就是说，低水平的调节控制与高水平的状态焦虑相结合与最强的与威胁相关的解释偏差有关，而那些人则从积极的解释训练中获益最多。本研究为双加工在青少年与威胁相关的解释偏差中的作用提供了经验支持。
