Cognitive theories emphasise automatic interpretation biases (AIB) in the development and maintenance of depression. The current study examined AIB using the word sentence association paradigm for depression (WSAP-D) via endorsement rates and reaction time indices. We directly tested the importance of self-relevance for AIB by modifying the WASP-D task to include self-referent ambiguous stimuli and contrasting them with other-referent ambiguous stimuli. We hypothesised that the dysphoric group, but not the non-dysphoric group, would demonstrate AIB only for self-referent ambiguous stimuli. Consistent with our main hypotheses, dysphoric individuals endorsed negative interpretations more often and faster than non-dysphoric individuals, only for self-referent ambiguous stimuli. Self-relevance may be a critical aspect of AIB in dysphoric populations.
认知理论强调在抑郁症的发展和维持过程中存在自动解释偏差（AIB）。本研究通过认可率和反应时间指标，使用抑郁症单词句子联想范式（WSAP-D）来检验AIB。我们通过修改WASP-D任务，纳入自我参照模糊刺激并将其与他人参照模糊刺激进行对比，直接测试了自我关联性对AIB的重要性。我们假设，烦躁不安组而非非烦躁不安组，仅会在自我参照模糊刺激方面表现出AIB。与我们的主要假设一致，仅在自我参照模糊刺激方面，烦躁不安的个体比非烦躁不安的个体更频繁、更快地认可消极解释。自我关联性可能是烦躁不安人群中AIB的一个关键因素。
