Negative Body Image Of College Students Attention Bias

A large number of studies have shown that the presence of negative body image were attention bias specific information, but the interpretation of attention bias only remain in the stage of attention speeded detection, attention bias, there are other ingredients, attention to relieve difficulties, attention to avoidance, the nature of attention bias What is the kind of composition, this study investigated through three experiments.Dot probe task provides the experimental paradigm is relatively simple scenario, the competitive environment in the study were negative body image, the attention of the target information bias, the result can be a component of attention bias study, cue-target paradigm into an effective paradigm and invalid cue conditions, dot probe task in the study based on experimental results, to further examine the other components of attention bias, the creation of odd-one-out is more complicated experimental situations, the psychological need to use more cognitive resources, can lead to negative body image are Note that the deep cognitive processing, the result will once again examine the presence of other components of attention bias, by three different attention bias, but the gradual nature of the experiments, the following conclusions:In the experimental paradigm dot probe task, negative body image were compared to a positive body image and neutral information, the existence of a positive body image, low-fat food words and words describe the attention speeded detection.In the cue - target experimental paradigm, negative body image were compared to a positive body image and neutral information, is invalid cue conditions, the existence of a positive body image and low-fat food words descriptive words the attention to relieve difficulties, leads effectively under the conditions described the existence of a positive body image, low-fat food words and attention speeded detection.Paradigm in the odd-one-out task, negative body image, positive body image were compared and neutral information, the existence of a positive body image, low-fat food words and words describe the attention speeded detection and attention to relieve difficulties.
