Online Contingent Attention Training (OCAT): transfer effects to cognitive biases, rumination, and anxiety symptoms from two proof‑of‑principle studies

The aim of the present research was to develop and test the efficacy of a novel online contingent attention training (i.e., OCAT) to modify attention and interpretation biases, improve emotion regulation, and reduce emotional symptom levels in the face of major stressors. Two proof-of-principle stud...

Two proof-of-principle studies were carried out. In study 1, 64 undergraduates who were about to start a major stressful period (i.e., final exams) were randomized to undergo 10 days of active OCAT or a sham-control training. Emotion regulation (habitual use of rumination and reappraisal) and symptom levels (depression and anxiety) were assessed before and after the intervention. In study 2, the same 2 × 2 mixed design was used with 58 individuals from the general population undergoing a major stressful situation (the lockdown period at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020). In both studies, the OCAT group showed significant improvements on attention towards negative information and interpretation biases in comparison to the sham-control group. Additionally, changes in cognitive biases transferred to reductions of participants’ use of rumination and anxiety symptom levels. These results show preliminary evidence regarding the efficacy of the OCAT to target attention and interpretation biases as well as to improve emotion regulation processes and to buffer against the effects of major stressors.Springer NatureUniversidad Complutense de Madrid20232023-01-0120232023-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/132934reponame:Docta Complutenseinstname:Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)InglésengComunidad de Madrid Atracción de Talento 2017-T1 ESMCI-AEI%2FFEDER, UE Not available PGC2018-095723-A-I00 Flexibilidad atencional y factores motivacionales de auto-regulación: Clarificación de dinámicas de resiliencia al estrés y protección contra la depresión y la ansiedad.Agencia Estatal de Investigación Proyectos de I%2BD%2BI (Generación de Conocimiento y Retos Investigación) PID2021-127480NB-I00 FUNCIONES EJECUTIVAS Y REGULACION EMOCIONAL: UNA APROXIMACION INTEGRAL PARA EL ESTUDIO DE MECANISMOS COGNITIVO-AFECTIVOS IMPLICADOS EN LA RESILIENCIA AL ESTRES Y SU PROMOCIONopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:docta.ucm.es:20.500.14352/1329342026-06-02T12:44:21Z
