The study investigated biases in selective attention to emotional face stimuli generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and depressive disorder, using a modified probe detection task. There were 4 types: threatening, sad, happy, neutral. Measures of attentional bias included (a) the direction latency initial eye movement response faces (b) manual reaction time (RT) probes replacing 1,000 ms after their onset. Results showed that individuals with GAD (without disorder) more likely look first toward...
Attentional biases for emotional faces were investigated in high, medium, and low anxiety groups (N = 54) using a probe detection task. Four types of facial expression (threat, sad, happy, neutral) used to examine the specificity bias. bias measures derived from manual reaction times (RTs) probes direction initial eye movement (EM) faces. The RT data indicated enhanced vigilance threat rather than neutral high but not low, state anxiety. negative appeared be combined function stimulus value...
Abstract Two studies investigated emotion-related biases in selective attention for pictorial stimuli nonclinical subjects; the included threatening, happy and neutral facial expressions. The combined results showed evidence of an attentional bias expressions (i.e. interaction effect dysphoria emotional valence expression on bias). In particular, nondysphoric subjects those with low levels anxiety depression) away from threatening expressions, relative to dysphoric did not show significant stimuli.
Anxious patients (n = 20) and normal controls carried out a modified Stroop color-naming task with anxiety- depression-related words in supraliminal subliminal exposure conditions. Within the anxious group, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) without concurrent depression 11) showed more interference for than neutral comparison combined diagnosis of GAD 9). Compared controls, subgroup slower color naming negative words, both conditions, replicating K. Mogg, B. P. Bradley, R. Williams, A....
