AI-generated Abstract
This research investigates attentional biases in individuals with post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and anxiety. It examines how these biases manifest as either vigilance or disengagement when processing negative and trauma-related stimuli. A visual search task with clinical scales was administered to 131 students, revealing distinct patterns: those with PTSS exhibited disengagement biases towards negative and trauma-related information, while anxiety symptoms influenced vigilance only in relation to negative words. Findings underscore the differential impacts of PTSS and anxiety on information processing and highlight the need for further study on their comorbid effects.
