The purpose of this study is to determine whether an internet-based treatment program, consisting of combined cognitive bias modification and cognitive behavioral therapy, reduces symptoms of social phobia among a population diagnosed with this disorder.

Conditions

  • Social Phobia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Internet-administered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT)

Established form of internet-administered cognitive behavioral therapy. Controlled progress, self-help modules with psychoeducative texts, assignments and homework. Therapist assisted.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive bias modification training program variant 1

Computerized, internet-based training program for implicit modification of cognitive bias of attention, variant 4. Participant is exposed to a pair of words or a pair of faces -- either neutral-negative, neutral-positive, or negative-positive -- for 500ms-1000ms, followed by a probe (\< or \>) in the previous position of ONE of these words or faces and is then asked to press the corresponding arrow button on a keyboard. A total of 96 word pairs and 96 face pairs are shown during a session. One third is neutral-negative, one third is neutral-positive, and one third is negative-positive. The probe always follows the more negative word or face. Duration: approx. 10 min. per session. Frequency: Once every day for 2 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive bias modification training program variant 2

Computerized, internet-based control training program, variant 2. Participant is exposed to a pair of words or a pair of faces -- either neutral-negative, neutral-positive, or negative-positive -- for 500ms-1000ms, followed by a probe (\< or \>) in the previous position of ONE of these words or faces and is then asked to press the corresponding arrow button on a keyboard. A total of 96 word pairs and 96 face pairs are shown during a session. One third is neutral-negative, one third is neutral-positive, and one third is negative-positive. The probe follows the more positive stimulus and the more negative stimulus with equal frequency. Duration: approx. 10 min. per session. Frequency: Once every day for 2 weeks.
