摘要：
According to cognitive models of anxiety, anxiety patients exhibit an attentional bias towards threat, manifested as greater distractibility by threat stimuli and enhanced detection of them. Both phenomena were. studied in two experiments, using a modified visual search task, in which participants were asked to find single target words (GAD-related, speech-related; neutral, or positive) hidden in matrices made up of distractor words (also GAD-related, speech-related, neutral, or positive). Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients, social phobia (SP) patients afraid of giving speeches; and healthy controls participated in the visual search task. GAD patients were slowed by GAD-related distractor words but did not show, statistically reliable evidence of enhanced detection of GAD-related target words., SP. patients showed neither distraction. nor enhancement effects. These results extend previous findings of attentional biases observed: with other experimental paradigms. (C) 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
