초록

본 연구는 불안 수준이 높은 사람의 인지적 특징 중 하나인 선택적 주의 편향이 시간에 따라 어떠한 양상으로 변하는지 확인하고자 하였다. 불안수준이 높고 낮은 사람을 대상으로 정서적 단어에 대한 주의 편향의 시간과정을 연구하기 위해 수정된 탐침과제를 사용하였다. 단어 쌍은 불안의 주의 편향 특징을 살펴보기 위해 500ms와 1250ms 간격을 두고 제시하였다. 그 결과, 사회 불안이 높은 사람이 사회 위협단어에 경계를 나타내는 주의편향이 나타나고 이어서 모든 정서적 단어에 회피를 보였다. 반면에, 사회 불안이 낮은 사람은 주의 편향이 나타나지 않았다. 위의 결과를 종합하면, 불안 수준이 높은 사람은 자신의 불안과 관계있는 특정한 위협자극에 대하여 선택적인 주의편향을 보인다. 따라서 그들은 일반인과 동일한 상황에 노출되더라도 일반인보다 더 많은 위협자극을 더 빨리 탐지하고 의식하며, 이로 인해 그들의 불안 및 각성 수준이 더 높아짐을 시사한다. 더욱이 이러한 선택적 편향은 단어제시시간이 길 때 회피 반응을 나타내었다. 회피반응은 위협자극으로부터 개인을 안전하게 해 주는 것이 아니라 오히려 불안을 증가시킨다. 이러한 회피반응은 위협적인 자극뿐만 아니라 위협적이지 않은 자극까지도 회피하게 되는 부적응적 전략을 사용함을 시사한다.

Abstract

The purpose of present study is to examine the time－course of attentional biases(the one of cognitive characteristics of high－anxious individuals) in highly anxious individuals. A modified version of the probe detection task was used to investigate the time course of attentional bias for emotional words in high and low socially anxious individuals. Word pairs were presented two exposure durations, 500 and 1250msec, in order to investigate the characteristics of attentional bias in anxiety. There was evidence of an attentional bias favouring initial vigilance towards social threat words and subsequent avoidance of all emotional words in high socially anxious individuals. In contrast, low socially anxious individuals did not exhibit an attentional preference. Finally, individuals with high anxiety show an attentional bias for their anxiety relevant to threat stimuli(selectively attend to threatening material that is specifically relevant to their anxiety.). If they are exposed with people at the same situation, they will show more detection and awareness than the people. It means that their arousal is elevated. Besides, these attentional bias presents avoidance response in long time. The Avoidance response increases anxiety rather than safety individual from threat stimuli. These findings suggest that socially anxious individuals are likely to use maladjustive strategies which lead to avoidance not only of threat stimuli but also of non－threat stimuli.
