Abstract

Objectives

Meta-awareness has been implicated in monitoring of and self-regulatory control over attentional processes implicated in internally directed cognition and mental health. Yet, research has focused on external sensory-perceptual attention. We therefore sought to quantify meta-awareness of difficulty disengaging internal attention from one’s own negative thoughts, and thereby examine its role in internal attentional (dys)control.

Methods

In an unselected sample of 42 adult participants (M(SD)_age = 24.46 (6.11) years old, range_age 18–39; 74% female), we quantified trial-level difficulty disengaging internal attention from own-voice (simulated) thought stimuli as well as trial-level meta-awareness by integrating self-caught probes and signal detection within a digit categorization task.

Results

We found, first, evidence for, and individual differences in, meta-awareness of internal attentional dyscontrol. Second, the greater the difficulty disengaging internal attention from a negative thought, the greater the likelihood for momentary meta-awareness. Finally, we found that meta-awareness of difficulty disengaging internal attention from a negative simulated thought (trial n) predicts reduced difficulty disengaging attention from one’s next negative thought (trial n + 1).

Conclusions

Meta-awareness may serve a monitoring-for-control function with respect to internal attention, with potential translational implications for experimental cognitive training therapeutics.
