The causal role of selective information processing biases towards threat in anxiety
… anxiety was investigated by examining change in emotional vulnerability as mediated by attentional training. Training was given on a modified dot-probe detection task, where participants were trained either to attend towards threat or towards neutral stimuli. Pre and post training assessment …

The effects of stressful life experiences and maladaptive daydreaming on selective attention among young adults
… and MD. Participants’ SA was assessed through an emotional Stroop test. ACEs and AAEs were both positively associated with MD, as well as with increased reaction times in the Emotional Stroop. There was an indirect effect of ACEs on total reaction time through MD. High levels of MD moderated the …

Cyberchondria and COVID-19 Health Threats Related to Attentional Bias and Safety Behaviors
… measures. The regression analyses showed that Emotional Stroop performance and safety behavior intentions were not related to cyberchondria or the COVID-19 health threatening prime. Research has suggested that instead of increased attention to threatening information individuals may demonstrate …

The cognitive and neural basis of suicide : investigating factors that help to identify individuals at risk
… also showed that working memory, inhibition, and emotional control were important predictors for suicidality and this was explored further in an EEG study that measured frontal asymmetry in a series of cognitive tasks. It was postulated that lateralized brain activity may account for the executive …

Right Hemisphere Theory and The Valence Theory: A Closer Look at How Gender Infleunces Emotional Processing
Gender can influence the lateralization of emotional processing. Specifically, women exhibit more bilateral activation while men are more lateralized. This study sought to investigate the influence of gender on emotional processing. The lateralized Emotional Stroop Task was used to present 50 male …

Anxiety or advantage?: detecting malingered symptoms in college students seeking academic accommodations
… memory tasks (1-back and 3-back), a modified emotional Stroop task, and symptom validity tests. Malingering and probable GAD groups reported comparable anxiety symptom endorsement and severity. Working memory accuracy did not reliably distinguish groups, although malingerers demonstrated …

An examination of mindfulness and cognitive interference in American veterans of the Global War on Terrorism
… and mindfulness skills, and then completed an emotional Stroop task that contained words selected to induce cognitive interference based on their combat-related nature. Consistent with past research, this study hypothesized that participants with combat-related PTSD would have longer response …
