A novel experimental investigation of online imagery rescripting for obsessive-compulsive prospective imagery
Emerging evidence suggests that rescripting intrusive mental imagery may reduce OCD symptoms. We tested whether a similar process could be adapted to an online experimental format. Amazon mTurk workers high in OCD traits (n = 198) were asked to identify OCD-related imagery of the future. They were then randomised to one of three audio-guided imagery conditions: rescripting, exposure, or a distracting control. We found that self-appraisals improved across all three conditions. Participants in the rescripting condition also reported greater reductions in aversive emotions, the vividness of their imagery, and their urge to neutralise the imagery, compared to those in the exposure condition. Results from the control condition were consistent with distraction. These experimental findings suggest that imagery rescripting in a standardised audio-guided format may facilitate emotional processing. Suggestions to improve on methodological limitations are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
