eva‎luation of the Effectiveness of the Combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Interpretation Bias Modification on Anticipatory Processing and Post-Event Processing in Students with Social Anxiety Symptoms

روان شناسي

This study aimed to eva‎luate the effectiveness of combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpretation Bias Modification (IBM) on anticipatory and post-event processing in students with symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). The research employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. Using purposive sampling, 26 students from the University of Isfahan who exhibited SAD symptoms were selected and non-randomly assigned to an experimental and a control group (13 in each group). The participants completed the Social Phobia Inventory (Connor et al., 2000), the Anticipatory Processing Questionnaire (Vassilopoulos, 2004), and the Post-Event Processing Questionnaire (Rachman et al., 2000) as pretests. The experimental group received eight sessions of the combined intervention, while the control group received no treatment. After the intervention, social anxiety, anticipatory processing, and post-event processing were reassessed. The data were analyzed using SPSS27 software. The results of covariance analysis showed a significant reduction in social anxiety with an effect size of 72.7%, anticipatory processing with an effect size of 50.7%, and post-event processing with an effect size of 67.5% in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.05). These findings suggest that the combination of CBT and IBM is an effective approach for reducing SAD symptoms, anticipatory processing, and post-event processing, offering a viable treatment option for Social Anxiety Disorder.
