Initial perceiver reaction to facial disfigurement
… these experiments showed that whilst angry faces exhibited a threat effect, disfigured faces did not. The exogenous cueing paradigm was then adopted in Experiments 5 - 9. These experiments demonstrated that angry faces elicited an aversion threat effect for high anxious. Again, …

Associations between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Covert and Overt Attention Bias Through Eye-Tracking and Visual Dot Probe
… group difference in average latency to fixate on angry faces was found [F(1,65) = 31.94, p < .001, ηp2 = .33]. However, the pattern was not consistent across the other attention bias metrics (i.e., dot probe bias scores and first fixation direction percentage towards angry faces). In addition, …
