Focusing on fear: Attentional disengagement from emotional faces.
Evidence suggests that anxiety is associated with a shift of visual attention toward threatening stimuli in the environment, such as facial expressions (Mogg & Bradley, 1999).

متن کاملAttentional disengagement from emotional stimuli in schizophrenia.
Previous research indicates that abnormal attention-emotion interactions are related to symptom presentation in individuals with schizophrenia.

Experiment 1 presented a cueing task, in which the cue was either an "angry", "happy", or "neutral" facial expressi...

Participants saw a pair of faces, one emotional and one neutral, and then a dot probe that appeared in the location of one of the faces.
