Abstract

The ability to notice and reflect on distressing internal experiences from an objective perspective, often called psychological decentering, has been posited to be protective against mental health difficulties. However, little is known about how this skill relates to age across adolescence, its relationship with mental health, and how it may impact key domains such as affective executive control and social cognition. This study analysed a pre-existing dataset including mental health measures and cognitive tasks, administered to adolescents in Greater London and Cambridge (mean age (SD) = 14.4 (1.77) years, N = 553). A self-report index of decentering based on available questionnaire items in the dataset was developed. Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between decentering and mental health, affective executive control (measured using an affective Stroop Task, affective Working Memory Task, and affective Sustained Attention to Response Task) and social cognition. Higher decentering was significantly associated with lower depression and anxiety scores and higher psychological wellbeing. Results did not indicate significant relationships between decentering, affective executive control and social cognition. Further research is needed to discover cognitive mechanisms associated with this process, which could allow for optimisation of existing psychological therapy and reveal new avenues of intervention.

调查青少年心理健康和认知与心理去中心化的相关性。
从客观角度注意和反思内心痛苦经历的能力,通常被称为 "心理去中心化"(psychological decentering),被认为对心理健康困难具有保护作用。然而,人们对这种能力在整个青春期与年龄的关系、它与心理健康的关系以及它对情感执行控制和社会认知等关键领域的影响知之甚少。本研究分析了一个已有的数据集,其中包括心理健康测量和认知任务,研究对象为大伦敦地区和剑桥地区的青少年(平均年龄(SD)= 14.4 (1.77) 岁,人数= 553)。根据数据集中现有的问卷项目,我们开发了一个自我报告的去中心化指数。研究采用多元线性回归法来检验去中心化与心理健康、情感执行控制(使用情感斯特罗普任务、情感工作记忆任务和情感持续注意反应任务进行测量)和社会认知之间的关系。去中心化程度越高,抑郁和焦虑得分越低,心理健康水平越高。研究结果并没有表明去中心化、情感执行控制和社会认知之间存在明显的关系。需要进一步研究发现与这一过程相关的认知机制,从而优化现有的心理疗法,并揭示新的干预途径。
