选择性注意偏差，通常记录与修改Stroop任务，被认为是在病因和焦虑的维持中发挥重要作用。对这些效应有两种相互竞争的解释，一种是对高度情绪化的词的选择性，另一种是对特定于疾病的词的选择性。我们在32名广泛性焦虑症（GAD）患者、29名社交恐惧症（SP）患者和31名非焦虑对照者中测试了这些解释。刺激有四种：GAD相关的词，SP相关的词，词与中性价，与积极价的话。不同的注意力偏差被观察到：GAD患者被所有类型的情感词减慢，而SP患者则被与言语相关的词分散注意力。(C)2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
Selective attentional biases, often documented with a modified Stroop task, are considered to play an important role in the etiology and maintenance of anxiety. Two competing explanations for these effects are selectivity for highly emotional words in general vs. selectivity for disorder-specific words. We tested these explanations in 32 patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), 29 patients with social phobia (SP), and 31 non-anxious controls. Stimuli were of four kinds: GAD-related words, SP-related words, words with a neutral valence, and words with a positive valence. Different attentional biases were observed: GAD patients were slowed by all types of emotional words, while SP patients were distracted specifically by speech-related words.
