Abstract

Generally, it has been known that threat of pain can lead to adverse consequences through bias toward pain-related stimuli or avoidance behavior. According to the impaired-disengagement model, rumination comprises brooding and reflection. The model suggest that brooding would interfere with attention and goal activity, resulting in maladaptive consequences, but reflection would result in adaptive consequences. In this study, we examined the changes in attentional bias and avoidance behavior in the face of pain-related threat by manipulating the types of rumination. A total of 84 college students in Daejeon were recruited and randomly assigned to one of four groups according to the threat of pain (high, low) * types of rumination (brooding, reflection). Results showed that for first fixation duration, there was no significant interaction among pain threats, types of rumination, and types of pain words. For dwell time, regardless of pain threats, the brooding group gazed at neutral words longer than pain-related words, compared to the reflection group. Also, the brooding group took longer to touch the metal pad, which was expected to emit electricity, than the reflection group, when the threat of pain was high, while there was no significant difference between the groups when the threat of pain was low. These results suggest that brooding and reflection may be crucial factors for changes in attentional bias and avoidance behavior.
