Attention Bias Modification (ABM): Review of effects of multisession ABM training on anxiety and threat-related attention in high-anxious individuals

TL;DR: Findings indicate anxiety reduction often occurs during both ABM-threat-avoidance and control-attention training, and ABM methods combining explicit goal-directed attention-search for nonthreat/positive information and effortful threat-distractor inhibition warrant further evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expectancy biases in fear and anxiety and their link to biases in attention.

TL;DR: It is suggested that evidence calls for more comprehensive research strategies in the investigation of mutual influences between expectancy and attention biases, as well as their combined effects on fear and anxiety.

Online attentional bias modification training targeting anxiety and depression in unselected adolescents: Short- and long-term effects of a randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: This large-scale randomized controlled study provided no support for the efficacy of the current online attentional bias modification training as a preventive intervention to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression or to increase emotional resilience in unselected adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Family process and youth internalizing problems: A triadic model of etiology and intervention.

TL;DR: A new theoretical model is proposed, the triadic model of family process, to organize theory and evidence around modifiable, transdiagnostic family factors that may contribute to youth internalizing problems and its implications for intervention are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Threat-related attention bias in socioemotional development: A critical review and methodological considerations

TL;DR: In order to understand if and how threat-related attention bias in real-life, social interactive contexts can predict socioemotional development outcomes, this review proposes that future research cannot solely rely on screen-based paradigms but needs to extend the assessment of threat- related attention to naturalistic settings.
