Abstract

Anxiety disorders are characterized by biased implicit threat associations, which can be measured by indirect reaction time tasks. These tasks might provide a useful tool in the assessment of individual diagnoses and therapeutic changes. However, sufficient psychometric properties of the applied tasks are a prerequisite for these applications. Therefore, we comparatively investigated the reliability and validity of an Extrinsic Affective Simon Task (EAST), an Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT), and an Affective Priming Task (APT) by presenting the same tasks twice within 1 week. Data show retest reliabilities of around r = .42 for the EAST, r = .35 for the AAT, and r = .63 for the APT. Internal consistencies varied between .44 and .49 for the EAST, .66 and .70 for the AAT, and .53 and .76 for the APT. Validity correlations with self-report questionnaires ranged between r = .43 and r = .59, being lowest for the EAST and highest for the AAT. We argue that while these instruments might not be applicable to indivi...

评估内隐威胁关联和行为反应倾向的三个间接任务-重测信度和效度

焦虑障碍的特征是有偏见的内隐威胁关联，这可以通过间接反应时间任务来测量。这些任务可能为评估个体诊断和治疗变化提供有用的工具。然而，应用任务的充分心理测量特性是这些应用的先决条件。因此，我们通过在一周内两次呈现相同的任务，比较研究了外在情感西蒙任务(EAST)、趋近回避任务(AAT)和情感启动任务(APT)的信度和效度。数据显示，东量表的重测信度约为r = 0.42, AAT的重测信度约为r = 0.35, APT的重测信度约为r = 0.63。内部一致性在东量表的0.44至0.49,AAT的0.66至0.70,APT的0.53至0.76之间变化。与自我报告问卷的效度相关性在r = 0.43至r = 0.59之间变化，东量表的效度最低，AAT的效度最高。我们认为，虽然这些工具可能不适用于个人……
