据推测，广泛性焦虑状态与对威胁线索的选择性处理有关，这些威胁线索是由涉及处理与个人危险（危险图式）相关的信息的认知结构活动产生的。使用斯特鲁普颜色命名任务的修改来研究选择性处理，其中一些目标词与身体或社会威胁有关，而另一些则与危险完全无关。焦虑的 Ss 在用颜色命名所有单词时通常比对照慢，但在威胁性单词上尤其慢。在身体（而非社交）威胁词语的情况下，还有证据表明，在相关领域内报告担忧的党卫军中，干扰最为明显。结合减缓程度与情绪状态相关的相关发现，结果被解释为证据，表明危险图式的个体内容决定了选择性处理的材料类型，而观察到的干扰程度取决于当前的焦虑水平。
It was postulated that generalized anxiety states are associated with selective processing of threat cues arising from the activity of cognitive structures concerned with processing information related to personal danger (danger schemata). Selective processing was investigated using a modification of the Stroop Colour-naming Task, in which some of the target words were related to physical or social threat, while others were completely unrelated to danger. Anxious Ss were generally slower then controls in colour-naming all words, but were particularly slow with threat words. In the case of physical (but not social) threat words, there was also evidence that interference was most marked in those Ss reporting worries within the relevant domain. Taken together with correlational findings that degree of slowing was associated with mood state, the results were interpreted as evidence that the individual content of danger schemata determine the type of material that is selectively processed, while the extent of interference observed depends on current anxiety level.
