Abstract :

[fr] L’activation comportementale améliore la santé mentale et le fonctionnement psychologique et ce, particulièrement dans la dépression. L’activation comportementale est également associée à une amélioration de différents mécanismes comme l’activation, l’évitement ou encore la satisfaction environnementale. Inspirés par de récentes études ayant mis en évidence des modifications de l’activité neuronale de régions liées au contrôle cognitif ainsi que de régions associées au traitement de la récompense après une intervention par activation comportementale dans la dépression, mais également par les modèles cognitifs de la dépression qui suggèrent que les biais attentionnels joueraient un rôle de maintien de l’humeur dépressive, nous avons testé l’effet d’un programme d’activation comportementale sur l’attention sélective envers l’information triste et positive. Huit étudiantes présentant une symptomatologie dépressive moyenne à modérée ont participé à un programme d’activation comportementale étalé sur six semaines. Les résultats suggèrent que l’activation comportementale améliore l’attention sélective envers l’information émotionnelle positive. Cette étude préliminaire est pionnière dans l’investigation de l’impact d’un programme d’activation comportementale sur l’attention sélective vis-à-vis d’un matériel positif.
[en] Objectives: Behavioural activation improves mental health and psychological functioning, especially among patients with depression. Behavioural activation is associated with the improvement of several mechanisms, such as activation, avoidance, and environmental reward. Behavioural activation may also improve cognitive control abilities. Finally, studies on neurological changes suggested an improvement of the functioning of reward structures in response to positive stimuli after a BA treatment. Yet, uncertainty abounds regarding the putative mechanisms of behavioural activation. Prominent cognitive models of depression posit that attentional bias for negative and positive information may play an important role in the maintenance of a depressive mood. Inspired by these models and the results by the mentioned above, we investigated the impact of behavioural activation treatment for depression on attentional selectivity for sad and positive materials. We predicted that (1) attention to sad faces would be reduced after the intervention, (2) attention to happy faces would be enhanced after the intervention, and finally (3) the intervention would improve depressive symptomatology, activation, avoidance and environmental reward. Materials and method: Eight undergraduate students with medium to moderate depressive symptoms participated in a six-week behavioural activation intervention. A dot-probe task with happy and sad faces and self-report questionnaires focused on depression, activation, avoidance, and environmental reward were administered before and after the intervention. Results: Depression, avoidance, and environmental reward scores improved after treatment with large effect sizes. Behavioural activation likewise improves attentional bias for positive faces. However, there was no attentional bias for sad faces at either evaluation time. Conclusion: The preliminary nature of our findings notwithstanding, this study is the first to provide evidence of behavioural activation impact on attentional selectivity vis-à-vis positive material.
