“…Previous work by Wyland and Forgas (2007) has suggested that among non-clinical samples, mild negative mood is associated with less of an initial enhancement effect (although a greater rebound effect) than positive mood. Additionally, other work focusing on predictors of the rebound effect has suggested that trait anxiety is associated with less of a rebound effect (Rutledge, Hancock, & Rutledge, 1996). Perhaps this occurs because mild or even moderate negative mood can promote focused, detail-oriented information processing that is helpful for focusing on distracters.…”

Recent theories of psychopathology have suggested that thought suppression intensifies the persistence of intrusive thoughts, and proposed that difficulty with thought suppression may differ between groups with and without psychopathology. The current meta-analytic review evaluates empirical evidence for difficulty with thought suppression as a function of the presence and specific type of psychopathology. Based on theoretical proposals from the psychopathology literature, diagnosed and analogue samples were expected to show greater recurrence of intrusive thoughts during thought suppression attempts than non-clinical samples. However, results showed no overall differences in the recurrence of thoughts due to thought suppression between groups with and without psychopathology. There was, nevertheless, variation in the recurrence of thoughts across different forms of psychopathology, including relatively less recurrence during thought suppression for samples with symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, compared to non-clinical samples. However, these differences were typically small and provided only mixed support for existing theories. Implications for cognitive theories of intrusive thoughts are discussed, including proposed mechanisms underlying thought suppression.

“…Se calculó para cada grupo de supresión (supresión/neutro y supresión/intruso) el «índice de rebote» medio para los periodos 2 y 3 (Rutledge, Hancock, y Rutledge, 1996), según la siguiente fór-mula: Número de intrusiones durante el periodo experimental / (Número de intrusiones durante el periodo experimental + Número de intrusiones en la línea base). Según los autores mencionados, 0,60 es un punto de corte apropiado para considerar significativo un índice de rebote.…”

Palabras clave: Pensamientos intrusos, supresión del pensamiento, trastorno obsesivocompulsivo, obsesiones. Effects of suppressing neutral and obsession-like thoughts in normal subjectsRecent cognitive-behavioral theories on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) show that delibérate attempts to suppress intrusive and undesirable thoughts lie at the genesis of clinical obsessions. In this paper the results of an experimental study on the suppression of neutral and obsession-like thoughts in normal subjects are presented. Thirty-eight university students performed in three experimental periods: 1) base-Une monitoring, 2) experimental instruction, and 3) monitoring. For each of these periods, the frequency of the occurrence of a «white bear» thought or a personally relevant intrusive thought was registered. Half of the subjects received instructions to suppress the target-thought in period 2, and the other half were instructed to only monitor the target-thought in each of the experimental periods. The results show that none of the experimental groups increased the frequency of their target-thought in relation to the base-line. However, the between-groups comparisons revealed that the suppress/intrusive group registered more intrusions in period 3 than the non-suppress/intrusive group. These data suggest the existence of a rebound effect for intrusive thoughts, whereas this effect was not observed when using neutral thoughts.

“…Rutledge and her colleagues (Rutledge, 1998;Rutledge, Hancock, & Rutledge, 1996) have also conducted studies of the role of obsessionality in the thought suppression paradigm. The results of these studies are difficult to interpret unambiguously, but they seem to indicate that, at least for women, obsessionality is positively related to intrusive thoughts under suppression instructions and they indicate more generally that individual differences may play a prominent role as far as the effects of thought suppression are concerned.…”

There has been a good deal of research on thought suppression in clinical and social psychology during the past 15 years. Thought suppression refers to attempts to keep certain thoughts out of consciousness. While the idea promises to shed light on various psychopathologica l processes, research has in many ways been inconclusive. The main focus of this review is on the relevance of thought suppression for our understanding of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Drawing on the literature the review attempts to point out where research should be heading and to suggest to the clinician what lessons could be learnt.
