| Research Abstract |
To explicate the attention control process that serves as a foundation for the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), we investigated whether attentional training for CBT had an underlying influence. Attention training was carried out for subclinical university student groups with symptoms of obsessive Compulsive disorder or social anxiety disorder. Package Therapy (PT) including traditional CBT was then carried out for which groups. The results showed that PT was more effective than in the groups intervened with each of the techniques alone. The mode of attention was measured in each group both before and after the intervention using a dichotic listening task and/or eye tracking. The results showed that symptoms were alleviated when the capability for attention control promoted the capability for self-control of thoughts.
