- 요약Traditional Beckian cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the use of cognitive restructuring to reevaluate negative thoughts, encouraging clients to work towards accuracy when considering their views at times of emotional distress. While there is evidence that supports cognitive restructuring as an important driver of cognitive change in CBT, others have suggested that positive thinking is a powerful and effective method for coping with negative thoughts. In this study, I explored the effect of brief, online interventions on participants' immediate emotional reactions and belief in their negative thoughts. The interventions introduced how to utilize cognitive restructuring (CR) or positive thinking (PT) to respond to negative thoughts. Given recent interest in the role of fostering positive emotions in promoting successful coping, I also evaluated whether engaging in a positive mood induction prior to reevaluating negative thoughts impacted outcomes compared to no mood induction. Participants were undergraduate students (N = 301) who were randomized to one of four conditions: (1) positive thinking alone, (2) cognitive restructuring alone, (3) positive thinking with mood induction, or (4) cognitive restructuring with mood induction. Participants watched intervention videos and completed practice exercises involving applying their assigned strategy and were asked to complete a worksheet documenting their practice of the skill once per day for one week. Results indicated that at Time 1, negative affect and belief in negative thoughts decreased in both intervention conditions (PT and CR), with intervention condition not resulting in differential change. Mood induction condition also did not lead to differential change in outcomes. In models examining changes from before to after the daily skill exercise, neither intervention nor mood induction condition led to differences in changes in affect or belief in negative thoughts. Participants experienced a small decrease in depressive symptoms from baseline to one-week post-intervention, as well as an increase in positive thinking skills and cognitive restructuring skills; neither intervention condition nor mood induction condition led to differential changes in these outcomes. Ratings of the degree to which alternative thoughts generated by participants reflected PT and CR indicated that CR was predictive of a decrease in negative affect and belief in negative thoughts. Moderation analyses explored for whom the interventions were particularly beneficial. Participants high in baseline optimism experienced larger decreases in NA in the PT rather than the CR condition. For those high in baseline neuroticism, the mood induction resulted in a greater decrease in NA and belief in negative thoughts compared to the conditions without a mood induction. The interaction of PT and CR skill usage indicated that the use of positive thinking skills predicted greater increases in positive affect, but only when the use of cognitive restructuring skills was also high. Overall, experimental evidence failed to show differences between CR and PT and also failed to show that adding a positive mood induction enhanced the impact of either of these cognitive intervention strategies. Implications for future work on positive thinking and cognitive restructuring are discussed.
