Psychotherapy for depression emphasizes techniques that can help individuals regulate their moods. The present study investigated the affective impact and electrocortical correlates of cognitive restructuring, delivered as a 90-minute psychotherapeutic microintervention in a dysphoric sample.
Participants (N = 92) who reported either low or high levels of dysphoric symptoms were randomly assigned to the restructuring microintervention, a control intervention or a no-intervention condition. We obtained recordings of event-related potentials (ERPs) as well as mood self-ratings during an experimental session immediately after the psychotherapeutic microintervention and the control intervention in which a set of negatively valenced pictures (IAPS) was presented with different instructions.
Whereas the restructuring intervention group and the control intervention group reported both increases in positive and decreases in negative affect from pre- to post-intervention, the three groups differed significantly on ERP measures.
Findings provide support for current models of mechanisms of action in cognitive therapies.
抑郁症心理治疗强调有助于个体调节情绪的技术。本研究调查了认知重构的情感影响和脑电皮层相关性，认知重构作为一种90分钟的心理治疗微干预措施应用于烦躁不安的样本。
报告有低或高程度烦躁症状的参与者（N = 92）被随机分配到重构微干预组、对照干预组或无干预组。在心理治疗微干预和对照干预后立即进行的实验环节中，我们获取了事件相关电位（ERP）记录以及情绪自评，在该实验环节中，一组负性效价图片（国际情感图片系统，IAPS）以不同的指导语呈现。
虽然重构干预组和对照干预组均报告干预前后积极情绪增加、消极情绪减少，但三组在ERP测量上存在显著差异。
研究结果为当前认知疗法的作用机制模型提供了支持。
