Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of multi-session Cognitive Bias Modification – Interpretation (CBM-I) on social anxiety, examining psychopathology, cognitive, neural, and psychophysiological outcomes. The study involves participants with high social anxiety levels who complete lab sessions, online training, and follow-up assessments to compare active versus sham CBM-I interventions. Results indicate that while both groups showed decreased social anxiety scores over time, only the active group demonstrated reduced fear of negative evaluation and stronger shifts toward positive interpretation biases. Mediation analyses suggest that reducing negative interpretations mediates the effect of the training on social anxiety symptoms.
