“…2 Twenty-seven real-life pictures were selected in which a person threatening situation was the center of focus, along with 27 neutral pictures in which a person was shown in a situation unrelated to any threat or fear. Thereafter, 13 graduate and undergraduate students rated the threatening and neutral stimuli for their arousal and emotional valence levels on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (“not threatening at all,” negative”) to 7 (“very threatening,” positive), following the stimuli rating procedure used in a study by Hahm and Lee (2012). For the final pictorial stimuli, 15 threatening pictorial stimuli of a rating of five points or above were selected in descending order of arousal level ( M = 6.27 , SD = 0.50), and 15 neutral pictorial stimuli with emotional valence levels close to the midrange were selected ( M = 5.42 , SD = 0.28).…”

Cancer patients experience various psychological and social difficulties, the most common being depression and anxiety. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an app-based cognitive behavioral therapy program for depression and anxiety in cancer patients. For this purpose, 63 participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to either a mobile-application-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (HARUToday), a simple information-provision mobile-application-based program (HARUCard), or a waitlist control group. Self-report questionnaires including the Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Health-Related Quality of Life Scale, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, and two computer tasks including the dot-probe task and the Implicit Association Test, were administered before and after 66 days of intervention. The results showed that the Beck Depression Inventory and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores of the cognitive behavioral therapy program (HARUToday) group decreased significantly after the intervention compared to the attention control (HARUCard) and waitlist control groups. However, there were no significant changes in scores of the Health-Related Quality of Life Scale and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, and the two computer tasks. Such results suggest that a mobile-application-based cognitive behavioral therapy program may be an effective intervention for alleviating depression and anxiety, but not the general quality of life of cancer patients. Taking into consideration that psychosocial problems may not the topmost priority for cancer patients who are facing a chronic and possibly mortal disease, a mobile-application cognitive behavioral therapy program may be a possible solution for the alleviation of depression and anxiety in cancer patients who have many restraints in terms of time and space.

“…최근에는 외상 경험자들에 게서 관찰된 위협자극에 빠르게 주의(attention)가 개입되는 주의편향(attentional bias)이 PTSD의 핵심요소로 지목되고 있다 (Pineles SL et al, 2009;Thomas CL et al, 2013). 주의는 새로운 정보의 지각이나 학습과 같은 인지적 처리 (cognitive process)의 근본적 요소로 (Hahm JS et al, 2012), 후방주의체계(posterior attentional system)와 전방 주의체계(anterior attentional system)로 구분될 수 있다 (Petersen SE et al, 2012). 후방주의체계는 주의의 방향을 설정하는 곳으로 한 자극에 머물러 있던 주의의 탈개입 (disengage), 다른 자극으로의 이동(move), 그리고 새로운 자극에 주의를 개입시키는(engage) 과정이 포함된다.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between attentional bias to threat and positive stimuli (i.e., facilitated attentional engagement, difficulty in attentional disengagement, and attentional avoidance) and event-related rumination, and to examine whether the latter mediated the relationship between attentional bias and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in individuals with traumatic experiences. Methods: A total of 70 college students with traumatic experiences participated in the study. Attentional bias to threat and positive stimuli was measured by employing a spatial cueing task. Other variables were assessed using self-report measures including The Impact of Event-Related Scale-Revised, Event-Related Rumination Inventory, Post-traumatic Growth Inventory, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: The results indicated that attentional avoidance was significantly associated with intrusive rumination, whereas none of the three aspects of attention bias was associated with deliberate rumination. Furthermore, attentional avoidance was related to increased intrusive rumination, which in turn, was associated with increased PTSS. Additionally, difficulty in attentional disengagement from threat stimuli was associated with finding new possibilities, one aspect of a PTG, even after controlling for the impact of deliberate rumination. Conclusions: The current results suggest that therapeutic interventions aimed at helping individuals not to avoid but accept their traumatic experience may be effective to overcome trauma and facilitate PTG among individuals with traumatic experiences.
