![]() ![]() ![]() No evidence for the proposed combinational influence of speed and variability was found. No change in anxiety symptoms or threat interpretation was found between manipulation conditions. Affect was significantly less positive and more negative during slow thought. Results indicated that fast and varied thought independently increased self-reported mania symptoms. Change in mania and anxiety symptoms was assessed through direct self-reported symptom levels and indirect, processing bias assessment (threat interpretation). Participants completed a thought speed and variability manipulation task, inducing a combination of fast/slow and varied/repetitive thought. A general population sample was recruited online (N = 263). ![]() The present study explored the independent and combinational influence of these variables upon condition-specific symptoms and affective state, as proposed by Pronin and Jacobs’ (Perspect Psychol Sci, 3:461–485, 2008) theory of mental motion. Thought speed and variability are purportedly common features of specific psychological states, such as mania and anxiety. ![]()
