Abstract

It has often been suggested that attempts to suppress a thought will lead to an immediate and/or delayed increase in its occurrence. In a recent experiment (Clark, Ball & Pape, Behaviour Research and Therapy, 29, 253-257, 1991) we obtained a delayed (rebound) effect but failed to demonstrate an immediate enhancement effect. Lavey and van den Hout (Behavioural Psychotherapy, 18, 251-258, 1991) have suggested immediate enhancement might be observed only if subjects are instructed not to use distraction while suppressing. The present experiment tested this hypothesis. An immediate enhancement effect was not obtained but the delayed (rebound) effect was twice replicated and an artifactual explanation of this effect was discounted.

摘要

人们常常认为，试图抑制一种想法会导致其出现频率立即和/或延迟增加。在最近的一项实验中（克拉克、鲍尔和佩普，《行为研究与治疗》，第29卷，第253 - 257页，1991年），我们获得了延迟（反弹）效应，但未能证明有立即增强效应。拉维与范登豪特（《行为心理治疗》，第18卷，第251 - 258页，1991年）提出，只有当受试者在抑制想法时被指示不要分心，才可能观察到立即增强效应。本实验对这一假设进行了检验。我们没有获得立即增强效应，但延迟（反弹）效应被重复验证了两次，并且排除了对这一效应的人为解释。
