以前的研究在焦虑的青年注意力偏差，往往利用视觉点探测任务，产生了不一致的结果，这可能是由于偏见是如何评估和/或变异的现象。本研究利用眼睛注视跟踪评估社会焦虑青少年的注意力偏差，并探讨了几种方法和学科内的因素，可能有助于注意力偏差的变化。在42名被诊断为社交焦虑障碍的寻求治疗的青少年（年龄12-16岁）中测量了对威胁的注意偏向。偏向情绪刺激（警惕注意）和偏离情绪刺激（回避注意）的分数进行了探讨。偏差分数变化之间的警惕性和避免在个人和整个过程中的刺激介绍。这些差异与参与者的特征无关，也与自我报告的社交焦虑症状无关。然而，临床医生评定的社交焦虑的严重程度，解释了一个显着比例的偏差得分为成人，但不是青少年，刺激。在社交焦虑的青少年中，注意力偏差的变异是常见的，并且随着刺激持续时间和类型的变化而变化。结果可能为未来的研究提供刺激选择。
Prior research on attention bias in anxious youth, often utilising a visual dot probe task, has yielded inconsistent findings, which may be due to how bias is assessed and/or variability in the phenomenon. The present study utilises eye gaze tracking to assess attention bias in socially anxious adolescents, and explores several methodological and within-subject factors that may contribute to variability in attention bias. Attention bias to threat was measured in forty-two treatment-seeking adolescents (age 12–16 years) diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. Bias scores toward emotional stimuli (vigilant attention) and bias scores away from emotional stimuli (avoidant attention) were explored. Bias scores changed between vigilance and avoidance within individuals and over the course of stimulus presentation. These differences were not associated with participant characteristics nor with self-reported social anxiety symptoms. However, clinician rated severity of social anxiety, explained a significant proportion of variance in the bias scores for adult, but not the adolescent, stimuli. Variability in attention bias among socially anxious adolescents is common and varies as a function of stimulus duration and type. Results may inform stimulus selection for future research.
