Selective attention for pain-related information in healthy individuals: the role of pain and fear.

TLDR
Attentional bias for pain words was neither found to be related to trait variables like anxiety, depression, catastrophising, fear of pain, and pain vigilance, nor as a function of pain per se.

Attentional bias to pain-related information: A meta-analysis

TL;DR: This meta‐analysis investigated whether attentional bias, that is, the preferential allocation of attention to information that is related to pain, is a ubiquitous phenomenon, and indicated that individuals who experience chronic pain display an attentional biased towards pain‐related words or pictures.

Novel Object Test: Examining Nociception and Fear in the Rainbow Trout

TL;DR: Results suggest that nociception captures the animal's attention with only a relatively small amount of attention directed at responding to the fear of the novel object.

An experimental investigation of the construct validity of the McGill Pain Questionnaire.

TL;DR: An experimental analysis of MPQ pain descriptors using a Stroop task predicted that chronic pain patients, compared with normal controls, would show more interference to words drawn from the MPQ, and affective/evaluative descriptors would produce greater interference than sensory descriptors.

Automatic and strategic processing of threat cues in patients with chronic pain: a modified stroop evaluation.

TL;DR: Correlational and regression analyses indicated that the delayed color-naming latencies to pain words in the unmasked condition observed for the chronic pain patients were, in part, associated with high pain-specific cognitive anxiety and interference and lower levels of anxiety sensitivity.

Do chronic pain patients 'Stroop' on pain stimuli ?

TL;DR: Interference in attending to emotionally salient stimuli appears to be related to measures of anxiety and depression rather than pain per se, suggesting that the presence of attentional biases in chronic pain patients can best be accounted for as arising from mood staterather than pain-patient status.

Selective Processing Biases in Anxiety-sensitive Men and Women

TL;DR: This article found that high anxiety sensitive university students selectively process threat cues pertaining to their feared catastrophic consequences of anxiety, and examined potential gender differences in the selective processing of such threat cues among high versus low AS subjects.

Priming of the emotional stroop effect by a schema questionnaire. An experimental study of test order

TL;DR: This article found that priming by the Young's Schema Questionnaire (SQ) abandonment scale produced Stroop interference for unmasked separation words, suggesting that attentional bias is influenced by priming, and that it may be methodologically important to control possible priming factors when administering Stroop tasks and other measures of attentional biases.
