Abstract

Cognitive biases have been suggested to play a crucial role in the etiology and maintenance of social anxiety disorder (SAD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of exposure therapy on attention- and approach-avoidance bias in SAD. In a randomized controlled trial, we compared changes from pre- to posttreatment in both biases in patients receiving stand-alone exposure therapy to a waiting-list control condition comprising 60 participants (Mage = 36.9 years) with SAD with heterogeneous social fears. Before and after treatment, attention bias was assessed using the dot probe task and approach-avoidance bias using the approach avoidance task. Results revealed that pre- to posttreatment changes in attention bias and approach-avoidance bias in exposure therapy did not significantly differ from changes in the waiting-list condition. Limitations and potential implications of the current results are discussed.

In response to a reviewer’s suggestion, we conducted multilevel regression analyses separately comparing iVET and VRET with waiting-list. The results showed a similar pattern as the results of the analyses comparing active treatment with waiting-list, indicating that changes in bias scores did neither in iVET nor in VRET significantly differ from changes in the waiting-list condition. Therefore, we reported the results of the latter analyses only.
