Abstract

Background

Interpretation biases are a form of cognitive bias in which ambiguous information is resolved in a consistent manner; threat-related interpretation biases are documented across a range of psychiatric disorders. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is the tendency to perceive uncertainty as threatening. Despite the relevance of IU to threat-related interpretation biases, relatively little work has examined the associations between these constructs, particularly in the context of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Method

This study examined the associations between IU, PTSD, and threat-related interpretation biases among 342 trauma-exposed adults (n = 156; 45.6% with provisional PTSD). Participants completed an online survey, including the Prospective IU and Inhibitory IU subscales of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12 (IUS-12), the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), and the Interpretation Bias Index for PTSD (IBIP). Responses to the IBIP were summed to capture explicit biases (i.e., the extent to which ambiguous sentences were perceived as threatening). Additionally, timing data were collected and used as an exploratory metric of implicit biases (i.e., the speed with which participants resolved threat-related ambiguity).

Results

PTSD symptom severity was associated with both explicit and implicit threat biases. Prospective and inhibitory IU were each robustly associated with explicit threat biases, whereas only inhibitory IU was associated with implicit biases toward threat.

Conclusions

Results indicate that PTSD symptoms and IU are each associated with threat-related interpretation biases among trauma-exposed individuals.

受创伤个体与威胁相关的解释偏差和不确定性耐受性
背景解释偏差是一种认知偏差,在这种偏差中,模棱两可的信息会以一致的方式得到解决;与威胁相关的解释偏差在一系列精神疾病中都有记录。对不确定性的不容忍(IU)是一种将不确定性视为威胁的倾向。尽管不确定性不容忍度与威胁相关解释偏差有关,但研究这些概念之间关联的工作相对较少,尤其是在创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的背景下。本研究对 342 名受过创伤的成年人(n = 156;45.6% 患有临时创伤后应激障碍)进行了研究,探讨了不确定性不容忍度、创伤后应激障碍和威胁相关解释偏差之间的关联。参与者完成了一项在线调查,包括不确定性不耐受量表-12(IUS-12)的前瞻性IU和抑制性IU分量表、DSM-5创伤后应激障碍核对表(PCL-5)和创伤后应激障碍解释偏差指数(IBIP)。对 IBIP 的反应进行加总,以捕捉显性偏差(即模棱两可的句子在多大程度上被视为具有威胁性)。此外,还收集了计时数据,并将其作为内隐偏差的探索性指标(即参与者解决与威胁相关的模糊性的速度)。结果创伤后应激障碍症状的严重程度与显性威胁偏差和隐性威胁偏差都有关系,前瞻性和抑制性IU与显性威胁偏差都有密切联系,而只有抑制性IU与隐性威胁偏差有关系。
