DOI: 10.1002/ab.21813
Abstract: The goal of this study was to examine the ways attentional bias to social threat-measured across multiple attentional processes-is related to both child aggression and a well-established cognitive correlate of aggression (namely, hostile intent attributions).… read more here.

Abstract: It is well established that alcoholics and heavy social drinkers show a bias of attention towards alcohol-related items. Previous research suggests that there is a shared foundation of attentional bias, which is linked to attentional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-018-1081-9
Abstract: Attentional bias to threat cues is most adaptive when the dangers they signal can readily be controlled by timely action. This study examined whether heightened trait anxiety is associated with impaired alignment between attentional bias… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10339-019-00902-5
Abstract: Humans have developed mechanisms to prioritize certain sensory input(s). Emotionally salient stimuli automatically capture observers’ attention at the cost of less salient information. This prioritized processing is called attentional bias. Images of climate change have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10608-018-09991-6
Abstract: Individuals with contamination concerns show aberrant interpretational and attentional processes. Yet, it is unclear whether threat-related associations play a causal role in anxiety symptoms and attentional bias. The objective of our study was to investigate… read more here.

Change in Attentional Control Predicts Change in Attentional Bias to Negative Information in Response to Elevated State Anxiety

DOI: 10.1007/s10608-020-10176-3
Abstract: Background Researchers have demonstrated that elevation in state anxiety leads to elevation in attentional bias favouring the processing of negative information, and that the magnitude of this attentional bias change varies across individuals. However, research… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10802-020-00654-3
Abstract: Heightened reward sensitivity has been proposed as a risk factor for developing behavioral disorders whereas heightened punishment sensitivity has been related to the development of anxiety disorders in youth. Combining a cross-sectional ( n = 696,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10803-021-04880-6
Abstract: Heightened attention towards negative information is characteristic of depression. Evidence is emerging for a negative attentional bias in Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), perhaps driven by the high comorbidity between ASD and depression. We investigated whether… read more here.
