Abstract:
Secondo il filosofo greco Aristotele "L'uomo è per natura un animale sociale". Dopo 2350 anni, oggi sappiamo che questa affermazione è solo parzialmente vera. Sebbene le evidenze sperimentali abbiano messo in luce una preferenza per gli stimoli e le interazioni sociali negli esseri umani, questa conclusione non sembra applicabile a tutti gli individui e contesti. L'elaborazione degli stimoli sociali può infatti essere influenzata da caratteristiche degli stimoli sociali e non sociali, presentati in competizione, nonché da caratteristiche inter-individuali.

The processes that lead to the development and maintenance of chronic pain are still not well understood, however prominent theories and growing empirical research indicate that cognitive processes are likely to be relevant to pain. The aim of this thesis was therefore to investigate the role of attentional bias and interpretation bias in the experience of pain.

Abstract:
Ongoing pairing of alcohol consumption and alcohol related cues in the environment, through a process of classical conditioning, result in the development of alcohol attention bias (AAB) which reaches automaticity with ongoing alcohol use. AAB may co-occur alongside alcohol expectancies and physiological responses contributing to misuse (Robinson & Berridge, 1993). Understanding AAB is an important step in understanding addiction aetiology. The following series of studies employs the novel approach of eye tracking to examine AAB more directly, expanding current understanding which to date has

Abstract:
Attention bias change can reduce anxiety vulnerability. The mechanisms that underlie attention bias assessment and training with the dot-probe task are unclear. This research project investigated the main stimulus-probe associative learning mechanism within the dot-probe task. It compared the attentional engagement and disengagement processes that underlie attention bias change using the dot-probe task and a gamified attention training task. The current work aids the understanding of successful attention bias assessment, acquisition and change.

Abstract:
People seem to automatically appraise the salience of stimuli relevant to survival and automatically direct attention toward whatever may constitute a potential danger. The phenomenon by which threatening stimuli capture more attention in comparison to neutral and pleasant ones is called attentional bias. In the literature, many hypotheses were advanced about attentional processes involved in this bias: it could consist in an early facilitation of the automatic encoding of threatening information, followed by a difficulty in disengaging attention (delayed disengagement), or in an initial orien

Furthermore, anxiety and executive function were measured to examine how these factors may influence attentional bias across the lifespan.

However, even after CBT, 50-70% of women with bulimia and 67-87% of women with anorexia report continued eating disordered thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Social Anxiety Disorder is characterized by irrational and persistent fears of potential evaluation and scrutiny by others.

The degree to which FNE and biased attention are related processes is unknown. This study sought to assess the relationship between FNE and two indices of attention bias (dot probe and eye-tracking).

Abstract:
The focus of this thesis is on attentional biases for emotional faces within trait social anxiety. There are two central aims. Firstly, to provide a theoretical expansion of what is known about attentional biases in social anxiety, especially regarding the theorised bias-components of facilitated attention toward threat, delayed disengagement away from threat, and attentional avoidance of threat. The second aim is to provide an experimental expansion by exploring paradigms that are relatively novel to the field, by using a mixed-method approach across four studies. The first study presents ada

Abstract:
There are at least two types of response to stimuli: an automatic response that happens before conscious thought (a Type 1 response) and a deliberative, intentional response (a Type 2 response). These responses are related to behavior associated with the affective loading of the stimulus presented. Prior research has shown, for example, that a Type 1 tendency to spend more time looking at fear-provoking stimuli is associated with higher levels of general anxiety, while a Type 2 tendency to spend more time looking away from happy faces is associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms.

Abstract:
Background: Recent studies indicate that depressed individuals may have difficulties disengaging visual-spatial attention from negative information. Preliminary studies in depressed older adults provide evidence for the existence of biased attention to negative stimuli. However, the specific components of attention driving the detected bias effects in this population are not known. Aims: This study examined the mechanisms underlying attention biases in Late Life Depression (LLD). It was predicted that depressed older adults, like their younger counterparts, would demonstrate an impaired abilit
