“…In contrast, individuals with higher suppression abilities did not. Niessen et al (2020) also conducted an experience sampling study combined with a laboratory task to assess the ability to suppress the unwanted thoughts of 158 workers. The workers engaged more often and more intensively in thought control activities at a moderate level of time pressure but only when they had a higher general ability to suppress unwanted thoughts.…”

This mini review aims at summarizing the current state-of-the-art of empirical unlearning and intentional forgetting (U/IF) research at the individual, team, and organizational level. It adds to an earlier review and incorporates 31 recent studies from 2019 to 2022. The review reveals that predictors based on the organization’s adaptation context (e.g., competitive intensity), organization level (e.g., leadership exploration activities), individual task-related (e.g., features of the routines changed), and person-related level (e.g., cognitive control strategies) variables relate to process variables, such as the type of U/IF, the U/IF content (e.g., success beliefs or failure beliefs), and information processing variables (e.g., team information processing). The outcome variables are at the organizational level (e.g., cross-boundary innovation), team level performance level, the individual task performance level (e.g., errors), and person-related level (e.g., self-esteem). The analyzed studies at the team and organizational levels preferred cross-sectional study designs or in-depth qualitative methods, which severely limits the possibility of making causal statements. In contrast, at the individual-level studies use longitudinal designs as well to make temporal aspects of U/IF visible. But these individual level results are limited in terms of their generalizability to other levels. Even though all studies make valuable contribution to the understanding of antecedents and outcomes of U/IF, the temporal and process-related aspects of how U/IF unfolds at the different levels and subsequent options for its deliberate facilitation remain empirically little elaborated. It is proposed that in addition to studying the antecedents and consequences of U/IF in cross sectional designs, the topic needs more longitudinal designs to capture the nature of the U/IF processes in organizations.

“…Dalam beberapa penelitian terdahulu, terapi ini hanya diaplikasikan pada kasus-kasus fobia rangsangan internal, merokok dan penyimpangan seksual. Terapi ini belum digunakan oleh tenaga kesehatan dalam mengatasi kecemasan pada pasien yang sedang mengalami sakit penyakit (Niessen et al, 2020;Parenteau & Lamontagne, 2021). padahal, terapi ini mampu meningkatkan suasana hati yang positif (Nørby, 2019).…”

ABSTRAK Penyakit dapat menimbulkan dampak bagi kesehatan, dalam hal ini kesehatan jiwa yaitu kecemasan. Terapi Penghentian Pikiran merupakan teknik yang efektif dan cepat untuk membantu menghadapi pikiran yang membuat stres dan kecemasan yang seringkali disertai serangan panik, kecemasan, dan agorafobia.Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk melatih petugas Kesehatan di Puskesmas tentang terapi penghentian pikiran. Kegiatan pelatihan dilakukan selama 2 hari dengan metode Hybrid. Jumlah peserta yang mengikuti kegiatan sebanyak 30 orang. tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat membagikan materi berupa modul terapi penghentian pikiran, memutar video tutorial pelaksanaan terapi penghentian pikiran dan mendemonstrasikannya kepada peserta pelatihan yang hadir, dan feedback kepada peserta tentang impelementasi role play yang dilakukan sebagai evaluasi keterampilan yang telah dilakukan. Setelah dilakukan pemberian materi dan pelatihan selama 2 hari, didapatkan hasil bahwa dari 20 tenaga kesehatan, sebagian besar mempunyai nilai post test > 80 (50%), mempunyai kemampuan cukup baik dan kurang dalam melakukan role play, masing-masing 8 orang (40%) dan memiliki kemampuan berkomunikasi baik dalam melakukan role play 10 orang (50%). Pelatihan terapi penghentian pikiran dalam mengatasi kecemasan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan tenaga kesehatan di Puskesmas Klasaman. Perlu ditingkatkan layanan kesehatan jiwa dari tenaga kesehatan dengan meningkatkan latihan melakukan terapi penghentian pikiran dalam mengatasi masalah kecemasan pasien. Selain itu, Perlu dibuat pedoman berupa modul yang lebih sederhana dan buku kerja terkait terapi penghentian pikiran yang dapat digunakan di Puskesmas dengan fasilitas ruang rawat jalan terutama melayani pasien dengan kecemasan, Perlu dilakukan evaluasi secara periodik terhadap pelaksanaan terapi penghentian pikiran pada tenaga kesehatan yang bekerja Kata kunci: Terapi Penghentian Pikiran, Kecemasan, Stress ABSTRACT Disease can impact health, in this case, mental health, namely anxiety. Thought Stopping Therapy is an effective and rapid technique to help deal with stressful and anxious thoughts often accompanied by panic attacks, anxiety, and agoraphobia. The purpose of this community service is to train health workers at the Puskesmas on mind-stopping therapy. The training activities were carried out for two days using the Hybrid model. The number of participants who took part in the action was 30 people. The community service team distributed material in the form of a mind stopping therapy module, played a video tutorial on the implementation of thought-stopping therapy and demonstrated it to the training participants who were present, and gave feedback to participants about the performance of role play as an evaluation of the skills that had been done. After providing material and training for two days, it was found that of the 20 health workers, most of them had a post-test score > 80 (50%), had reasonably good abilities, and lacked role play, eight people each ( 40%) and have good communication skills in doing role play ten people (50%). Mind cessation therapy training in overcoming anxiety can increase health workers' knowledge at the Klasaman Health Center. It is necessary to improve mental health services from health workers by expanding the practice of mind-stopping therapy to overcome the patient's anxiety problem. In addition, it is essential to make guidelines in the form of simpler modules and workbooks related to thought-stopping treatment that can be used in health centers with outpatient facilities, primarily serving patients with anxiety.

“…It has already been shown that person-situation interactions predict how people deal with too much information in the related field of thought control (Niessen et al, 2020a ). Building on these findings, we also assume that there are individual differences in the extent to which explanations support individuals' deletion of irrelevant files, trust in the AI system and finding the suggestions credible.…”

In the digital age, saving and accumulating large amounts of digital data is a common phenomenon. However, saving does not only consume energy, but may also cause information overload and prevent people from staying focused and working effectively. We present and systematically examine an explanatory AI system (Dare2Del), which supports individuals to delete irrelevant digital objects. To give recommendations for the optimization of related human-computer interactions, we vary different design features (explanations, familiarity, verifiability) within and across three experiments (N1 = 61, N2 = 33, N3= 73). Moreover, building on the concept of distributed cognition, we check possible cross-connections between external (digital) and internal (human) memory. Specifically, we examine whether deleting external files also contributes to human forgetting of the related mental representations. Multilevel modeling results show the importance of presenting explanations for the acceptance of deleting suggestions in all three experiments, but also point to the need of their verifiability to generate trust in the system. However, we did not find clear evidence that deleting computer files contributes to human forgetting of the related memories. Based on our findings, we provide basic recommendations for the design of AI systems that can help to reduce the burden on people and the digital environment, and suggest directions for future research.
