Despite the developmental models proposed by Field and Lester, no studies have investigated the developmental trajectories of attentional biases and examined their association with internalising symptoms. The current study aimed to establish the developmental trajectories of self-reported negative and positive attentional biases. Two hundred sixty four Chinese children, ranging in age from 9 to 10 years, were recruited from a primary school in Shenzhen, mainland China. Self-reported inventories of attentional biases, active and avoidant coping styles, and internalising symptoms were completed at the first assessment by children in classrooms. After 6 months, children completed the same self-reported inventories of attentional biases and internalising symptoms from the second to the fourth wave, with an assessment interval of 6 months. After controlling for the effect of active and avoidant coping styles, children with the trajectory membership of higher negative attentional bias were more likely to have the trajectory membership of higher internalising symptoms. Children with the trajectory membership of lower positive attentional bias were more likely to have the trajectory membership of higher internalising symptoms, after controlling for active and avoidant coping styles. The results have implications for the developmental model of attentional biases and internalising symptoms.
尽管菲尔德和莱斯特提出了发展模型，但尚无研究调查注意偏向的发展轨迹，也未考察其与内化症状的关联。本研究旨在确定自我报告的消极和积极注意偏向的发展轨迹。从中国大陆深圳的一所小学招募了264名年龄在9至10岁之间的中国儿童。在首次评估时，孩子们在教室里完成了关于注意偏向、积极和回避应对方式以及内化症状的自我报告量表。6个月后，孩子们在第二至第四次评估中完成了相同的关于注意偏向和内化症状的自我报告量表，评估间隔为6个月。在控制了积极和回避应对方式的影响后，具有较高消极注意偏向轨迹类型的儿童更有可能具有较高内化症状的轨迹类型。在控制了积极和回避应对方式后，具有较低积极注意偏向轨迹类型的儿童更有可能具有较高内化症状的轨迹类型。这些结果对注意偏向和内化症状的发展模型具有启示意义。
