Abstract

Background: Attentional bias may influence the emotional experiences of breast cancer patients, both positively and negatively. This study aimed to investigate attentional bias in breast cancer patients and its impact on their emotions.

Method: Thirty-eight breast cancer patients completed a modified dot-probe task and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale to assess attentional bias and emotional states. Attentional bias was measured by analyzing response times to different stimuli in the modified dot-probe task. Emotional stimuli included 80 pairs of facial images depicting sad-neutral, fearful-neutral, happy-neutral, and neutral-neutral expressions. Attentional bias components were observed at stimulus presentation durations of 300 ms and 1500 ms. Differences in emotional responses among breast cancer patients with varying attentional biases were compared.

Results: Breast cancer patients exhibited attentional avoidance of sad and happy stimuli at 300 ms. Further analysis revealed that patients who exhibited attentional avoidance of sad stimuli at 300 ms reported higher levels of anxiety and stress. Those with attentional avoidance of fearful stimuli at 1500 ms reported increased anxiety, while individuals showing attentional avoidance of happy stimuli or difficulty disengaging from happy stimuli at 1500 ms reported higher levels of depression and stress.

Conclusion: Breast cancer patients demonstrated an attentional bias toward emotional stimuli, particularly avoidance of sad and happy stimuli in 300 ms. Different components of attentional bias were associated with distinct negative emotional outcomes.

注意偏差对乳腺癌患者情绪的影响
背景:注意偏差可能会对乳腺癌患者的情绪体验产生积极或消极的影响。本研究旨在调查乳腺癌患者的注意偏差及其对患者情绪的影响:方法:38 名乳腺癌患者完成了改良的点探针任务和抑郁焦虑与压力量表,以评估注意偏差和情绪状态。注意偏差是通过分析改良点探测任务中对不同刺激的反应时间来测量的。情绪刺激包括 80 对面部图像,分别描述悲伤中性、恐惧中性、快乐中性和中性表情。在刺激呈现持续时间为 300 毫秒和 1500 毫秒时,观察到了注意偏差成分。比较了具有不同注意偏差的乳腺癌患者的情绪反应差异:结果:乳腺癌患者在 300 毫秒时表现出对悲伤和快乐刺激的注意回避。进一步分析表明,在 300 毫秒时对悲伤刺激表现出注意回避的患者报告的焦虑和压力水平更高。在 1500 毫秒时对恐惧刺激产生注意回避的患者焦虑程度更高,而在 1500 毫秒时对快乐刺激产生注意回避或难以从快乐刺激中脱离出来的患者抑郁和压力程度更高:结论:乳腺癌患者表现出对情绪刺激的注意偏差,尤其是在 300 毫秒内对悲伤和快乐刺激的回避。注意偏差的不同成分与不同的负面情绪结果有关。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Behavioral Medicine (IJBM) is the official scientific journal of the International Society for Behavioral Medicine (ISBM). IJBM seeks to present the best theoretically-driven, evidence-based work in the field of behavioral medicine from around the globe. IJBM embraces multiple theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, groups of interest, and levels of analysis. The journal is interested in research across the broad spectrum of behavioral medicine, including health-behavior relationships, the prevention of illness and the promotion of health, the effects of illness on the self and others, the effectiveness of novel interventions, identification of biobehavioral mechanisms, and the influence of social factors on health. We welcome experimental, non-experimental, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies as well as implementation and dissemination research, integrative reviews, and meta-analyses.
