Summary

Cognitive biases have been found to be possible causal and vulnerability factors for depression. There is empirical evidence on the presence of negative emotional biases in interpretation in people with depressive symptoms. A whole new area of research, called Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM), is focused on targeting negative cognitive emotional biases to investigate its impact on clinical symptoms. A recent meta-analysis has shown that this type of programs are effective in reducing cognitive biases but there is still controversy on their clinical value to reduce symptoms. The purpose of the study is to create a brief online intervention aimed to reduce negative emotional cognitive biases present in depression and to analyze its impact on clinical symptoms and well-being.
