Abstract

Objectives: The ability to interpret facial expressions accurately is important to adaptive social functioning. Social anxiety disorder is associated with a biased interpretation of facial emotions. This study aimed to demonstrate the effects of feedback training on modifying interpretation bias in individuals with high social anxiety.

Methods: A total of 451 university students were screened, and 69 participants with high social anxiety were randomly assigned to either a training (n = 37) or a control (n = 32) group. Participants completed pre-questionnaires on social anxiety and depression symptoms, then performed a single session of experiment, followed by post-questionnaires on social anxiety symptoms. In the experiment, participants viewed an ambiguous facial expression and rated the intensity on a continuous scale. The training group received feedback that presented their ratings alongside the actual intensity, allowing them to accurately assess their emotional perception bias through trial-by-trial feedback. The control group received no feedback.

Results: The training group showed a significant reduction in interpretation bias for happy and angry faces after the experiment, while the control group did not. However, although the training group's social anxiety symptoms decreased post-experiment, the difference was not statistically significant compared to the control group.

Conclusions: These findings provide preliminary evidence that the feedback training targeting dimensional ratings of emotions may be a promising option for correcting interpretation bias in individuals with high social anxiety. Future research could implement multiple sessions of training to potentially reduce both interpretation bias and social anxiety symptoms and verify the long-term effects.

单次反馈训练可改变高度社交焦虑者的解释偏差:随机对照试验
目的:准确解读面部表情的能力对于适应社会功能非常重要。社交焦虑症与面部情绪解读偏差有关。本研究旨在证明反馈训练对改变高度社交焦虑症患者解读偏差的效果:共筛选了 451 名大学生,并将 69 名高度社交焦虑的参与者随机分配到训练组(37 人)或对照组(32 人)。参与者填写社交焦虑和抑郁症状的前置问卷,然后进行一次实验,再填写社交焦虑症状的后置问卷。在实验中,参与者观看模棱两可的面部表情,并按连续量表对其强度进行评分。训练组收到的反馈会将他们的评分与实际强度一并显示,这样他们就能通过逐次试验的反馈准确评估自己的情绪感知偏差。对照组不接受任何反馈:结果:实验后,训练组对快乐和愤怒面孔的解释偏差明显减少,而对照组则没有。然而,尽管训练组的社交焦虑症状在实验后有所减轻,但与对照组相比,差异在统计学上并不显著:这些研究结果提供了初步证据,表明针对情绪维度评级的反馈训练可能是纠正高度社交焦虑者解释偏差的一种有前途的选择。未来的研究可以通过多次训练来减少解释偏差和社交焦虑症状,并验证其长期效果。
