留守儿童抑郁与注意偏向的关系

The Relationship between Depression and Attentional Bias in Left-Behind Children

摘要: 本研究旨在探讨农村留守儿童和非留守儿童在负性情绪面孔注意偏向方面的差异。采用点探测范式，选取68名小学生(其中留守儿童30人，非留守儿童38人)为被试，以面孔图片为刺激材料，比较两组儿童对负性情绪面孔和中性面孔图片的注意偏向。结果显示，留守儿童组对负性情绪面孔图片的注意偏向值显著高于非留守儿童组，而两组在性别、父母文化水平等方面没有显著差异。这表明留守儿童更倾向于注意负性情绪信息，与抑郁倾向相关的注意偏向特点一致。然而，由于样本数量有限，结果的推广性有待进一步检验。总体而言，本研究为留守儿童注意偏向与抑郁的关系提供了初步证据，有助于为留守儿童心理健康的干预提供依据。

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the differences in attentional bias for negative emotional facial expressions between rural left-behind children and non-left-behind children. Using the dot-probe paradigm and with 68 primary school students as participants (30 left-behind children and 38 non-left-behind children), the study compared the attentional biases of the two groups towards negative and neutral facial expression pictures. The results revealed that the left-behind children showed significantly higher attentional bias towards negative emotional facial pictures compared to the non-left-behind children, while no significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of gender or parental education level. This suggests that left-behind children tend to pay more attention to negative emotional information, consistent with the attentional bias characteristics associated with depression. However, due to the limited sample size, the generalizability of the results requires further validation. Overall, the study provides preliminary evidence for the relationship between attentional bias and depression in left-behind children, which may contribute to the development of interventions for the psychological health of left-behind children.
