Abstract
|
|
|
|
Attentional control to stimuli is essential for emotional regulation. This study aimed to examine attentional engagement and disengagement biases to emotional stimuli among individuals with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Community adults with a lifetime history of NSSI and those with no history were recruited. Participants performed an attention assessment task to measure attentional engagement and disengagement bias. The results indicated that the NSSI group exhibited attentional engagement bias towards positive emotional stimuli compared to the control group. However, the NSSI group did not show attentional engagement bias towards negative emotional stimuli, and there was also no observable attentional disengagement bias for both positive and negative emotional stimuli. The results of this study suggest that individuals in the NSSI group may not direct their attention towards negative emotional stimuli but rather lack the ability to focus on and process positive emotional stimuli, indicating a deficit in acquiring and processing positive information.
