Group Intervention Description Active IU CBM-I Active IU CBM-I This paradigm was designed to train individuals to endorse benign interpretations of ambiguous information and reject negative/threatening interpretations of ambiguous information. Participant's baseline interpretation bias was measured at baseline. Participants then underwent two training phases in which their responses were either reinforced (i.e., they were told they were correct) or punished (i.e., they were told that they were incorrect). Interpretation bias was measured again at post-training. Control CBM-I Control CBM-I This paradigm was identical to the active condition except that the word/sentence pairings used were not relevant to IU and/or anxiety.
