Depression is a highly prevalent condition worldwide, yet multiple barriers to treatments means that the development of low intensive and easily accessible psychological interventions is crucially needed. The current study sought to investigate the efficacy of a brief, self-administered imagery cognitive bias modification (imagery CBM) procedure delivered online to a sample of 101 individuals with depressive symptoms. Compared to a closely matched control condition or a waitlist condition, imagery CBM led to greater improvements in depressive symptoms (d = 0.86, 95% CI = [0.33, 1.3] and d = 1.17, 95% CI = [0.62, 1.65]) interpretation bias and anhedonia. Despite the limitation to a two week follow-up, the study findings highlight the potential of imagery CBM as a brief, easily accessible intervention for depression that can be delivered remotely in peoples' home.
抑郁症在全球范围内广泛存在，但由于存在多种治疗障碍，因此迫切需要开发低强度和易于获得的心理干预措施。本研究旨在调查一种简短的、自我管理的意象认知偏差修正（imagery CBM）程序在在线治疗 101 名有抑郁症状的个体中的疗效。与紧密匹配的对照组或等待组相比，意象 CBM 导致抑郁症状（d=0.86，95%置信区间[0.33, 1.3]和 d=1.17，95%置信区间[0.62, 1.65]）、解释偏差和快感缺失得到了更大的改善。尽管研究仅进行了两周的随访，但研究结果强调了意象 CBM 作为一种简短、易于获得的抑郁干预措施的潜力，该措施可以在人们的家中远程进行。
