Attentional Bias In College Students With Different Levels Of Self-compassion

Self-compassion is the individual with an open, tolerant attitude to understand and acceptyourself, do not avoid failure and pain, put his own encounter and negative emotions as a total experienceof mankind, and be able to realize this situation and mood of each experience people are compassionate.Scholars found that, self-compassion have relationship with mental health. Note refers that individualfocus of mental activity or consciousness, as the first step of cognitive processing, Note has an importantimpact on individual’s mental health. Studies have shown that individual’s negative attention bias isimportant reasons for depression generation, development and continuous. Attention bias can be influencedby internal and external factors, personality factors often regulate attention bias in different contexts. Basedon this, the study design two situations: emotional feedback and success or failure feedback, combined withattentional bias paradigm. Try to explore the self-compassion’s regulating effect for college students’sattention.Using self-compassion scale, filter out227to meet the requirements of the subjects, includinghigh self-compassion group113, low self-compassion group114. The study included two experiments.Experiment used2(self-compassion high, low group)×3(positive emotion start, negative emotionsstart, control group)×2(positive words, negative words) three-factor mixed design,to investigate underself-priming sympathy Students attentional bias. The second experiment used2(Self-compassion is high,low group)×3(success feedback, failure feedback, no feedback)×2(positive words, negative words)three-factor mixed design, investigate college students attentional bias.Research results are as follows:(1) For the self-compassion high group, the reaction time of the detection stimulation onpositive word is short than negative words. For self-compassion low group, they the reaction time of thedetection stimulation on negative words is short than position words.(2) Under the positive affective priming conditions, the high self-compassion group showedattentional bias for positive words, low group attention has changes, manifested as avoidance of negativestimuli. Under the positive negative priming conditions, two group showed significantly different, low self-compassion group showed significant attentional bias on negative stimuli.(3) Under the success feedback conditions, the low group attention has changes, under thefailure feedback condition,two group attentional bias were significantly different, high self-compassiongroup to appear in positive words and negative words position detection stimulus was not significant, lowself-compassion group showed significant attentional bias negative stimuli.Conclusions: High self-compassion individuals have attention bias about positive information,low self-compassion have attention bias about negative information; under different situation, Self-compassion can effectively regulate individual attention bias.
