Facilitating a benign attentional bias reduces negative thought intrusions.
Abstract
The causal role of biased attention in worry was investigated in an experiment in which high worriers were assigned either to a condition requiring attention to nonthreatening words and text while ignoring worry-related material or to a mixed-attention control condition. The former procedure led to fewer negative thought intrusions in a worry test (as rated by both participants and an assessor) than did the control condition. These findings suggest that attentional bias plays a causal role in worry and that its modification can reduce excessive worry.

Negative information attention bias is a central cognitive factor in the development, maintenance, and recurrence of some psychological disorders.
“More and more evidence shows that negative information attention bias is not only a phenomenon or symptom accompanying some psychological disorders, but also a central cognitive factor in their development, maintenance, and recurrence (23, 24).”
From Media multitasking, depression, and anxiety of college students: Serial mediating effects of attention control and negative information attentional bias (2022) · cites this paper as [24]
Hayes et al. (2010) found that facilitating a benign attentional bias reduces the frequency of negative thought intrusions.
“In addition, recent findings by Hayes et al. (2010) exemplified exactly how defusion might be beneficial in the relaxation process. The authors found that facilitating a benign attentional bias reduces the frequency of negative thought intrusions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
