The combined effect of each cognitive bias, interpretation, attention, and memory bias, is known to play a causal role in the etiology and maintenance of social anxiety. However, little is known about how each type of bias (i.e., interpretation, memory bias) acts during social anxiety. The present study aimed to investigate whether experimentally induced interpretation bias using the cognitive bias modification (CBM) paradigm would influence free recall and episodic memory biases in a Korean sample. A total of 61 participants were randomly assigned to either a positive (n = 30) or negative (n = 31) CBM group. The study used CBM scenarios that were auditory-specific and focused on social anxiety symptoms. The results showed that interpretation biases could be induced, and they resulted in training congruent state mood and memory biases on both free-recall memory and autobiographical memory, which partly confirmed the combined cognitive biases hypothesis proposed by Hirsch, Clark (1).
每种认知偏差、解释、注意和记忆偏差的综合作用，被认为在社交焦虑的病因和维持中起着因果作用。然而，对于每种偏差类型（即解释、记忆偏差）在社交焦虑期间如何起作用，我们知之甚少。本研究旨在调查使用认知偏差修正（CBM）范式诱导的解释偏差是否会影响韩国样本的自由回忆和情景记忆偏差。共有 61 名参与者被随机分配到积极（n = 30）或消极（n = 31）CBM 组。该研究使用了听觉特异性且专注于社交焦虑症状的 CBM 情景。结果表明，可以诱导解释偏差，并且它们导致在自由回忆记忆和自传体记忆上产生与训练一致的状态情绪和记忆偏差，这部分证实了 Hirsch 和 Clark 提出的综合认知偏差假设。
