ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
We tested whether a single-session of attention bias modification (ABM) could change bias towards appearance-related words and improve body satisfaction.METHODS:
Females (Nâ¯=â¯102; Mageâ¯=â¯33 years) completed an ABM session where attention was trained towards positive appearance-related information (nâ¯=â¯31), away from negative appearance-related information (nâ¯=â¯37), or a non-training session (nâ¯=â¯34). Importance of appearance and shape concern were examined as moderators.RESULTS:
ABM was effective in women high on appearance importance, trained to direct attention away from negative appearance words.LIMITATIONS:
No long-term follow up of attention biases or body image challenge were conducted.CONCLUSIONS:
These findings suggest that certain types of attention biases are amenable to change within a single session.Palavras-chave
