Fixing Our Focus: Training Attention to Regulate Emotion
Open accessAbstract
Empirical studies have frequently linked negative attentional biases with attentional dysfunction and negative moods; however, far less research has focused on how attentional deployment can be an adaptive strategy that regulates emotional experience. The authors argue that attention may be an invaluable tool for promoting emotion regulation. Accordingly, they present evidence that selective attention to positive information reflects emotion regulation and that regulating attention is a critical component of the emotion regulatory process. Furthermore, attentional regulation can be successfully trained through repeated practice. The authors ultimately propose a model of attention training methodologies integrating attention-dependent emotion regulation strategies with attention networks. Although additional interdisciplinary research is needed to bolster these nascent findings, meditative practices appear to be among the most effective training methodologies in enhancing emotional well-being. Further exploration of the positive and therapeutic qualities of attention warrants the empirical attention of social and personality psychologists.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review argues that selective attention to positive information is an emotion-regulation process and that attentional deployment can be trained to improve emotion regulation. It proposes a model mapping attention-training methods onto Posner and Petersen’s alerting, orienting, and executive control networks, concluding that meditation is especially promising but that the evidence remains preliminary.
Key findings
- Attentional deployment is an antecedent-focused emotion-regulation strategy; selective attention to positive information can reflect and influence emotion regulation. For example, older adults in a negative mood showed mood-incongruent gaze away from angry and sad faces and toward happy faces, and train-positive participants viewed negative images significantly less after dot-probe training.
- Attention is plastic and trainable. In one visual search training study, train-acceptance participants completed 5 days of training with 112 trials per session and reported less stress, higher self-esteem, lower cortisol, and higher objective performance evaluations than controls; in another study, the goal condition showed almost three times lower state frustration after training, and better attention to happy faces predicted longer persistence.
- Clinical auditory attention training reduced symptoms in panic disorder, social phobia, major depression, and hypochondriasis after 2–10 weeks of practice, with non-clinical levels maintained at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up in several studies.
- Meditative training showed positive emotion-regulation outcomes: MBSR participants had reductions in depression, anxiety, anger, and anger-related rumination and increases in positive affect; medical students in a 10-week MBSR seminar scored 18% lower than baseline on total mood disturbance while matched controls scored 38% higher; novice meditators improved attentional orienting after MBSR, and experienced retreat meditators improved alerting. The paper also cites evidence that a positivity ratio of 2.9 or more positive to negative emotional interactions is optimal, while 11.6 or higher may be aversive.
Methods
- Narrative/integrative review and theoretical model, not a primary empirical study. It draws on cognitive, experimental, clinical, and meditative literature on attention and emotion regulation.
- Proposes a model integrating attention-training methods—dot-probe/visual search gaze training, clinical auditory attention training, and concentration, insight, and loving-kindness meditation—with Posner and Petersen’s alerting, orienting, and executive control networks and Gross’s distraction, concentration, and rumination strategies.
- Tables 1 and 2 summarize empirical attention-training studies and hypothesized links; studies were selected if they included an intervention or experimental manipulation and assessed emotion regulation processes or outcomes.
Limitations
- Stated: across reviewed attention-training interventions, only small effects have been observed in small sample sizes over brief time intervals; clinical attention-training samples were small (up to 4 per group, except 31 in the Siegle et al. study); not all intervention studies assessed both regulatory processes and outcomes simultaneously; evidence is preliminary and longitudinal training interventions are needed.
- Stated: challenges include quantifying effective training durations, developing positive attention-training stimuli because positive images are lower in average arousal than negative images, and keeping interventions salient and interesting.
- Evident from the text: the model’s mappings of training methods to attentional networks and emotion-regulation strategies are described as “educated, mostly a priori, conjectures” requiring empirical support, and causal links between attentional processes and regulation outcomes are not fully established.

It may state two separate claims as one.
The paper relies on this without support.
There is a gap in research on how attentional deployment can be an adaptive strategy that regulates emotional experience.
“far less research has focused on how attentional deployment can be an adaptive strategy that regulates emotional experience”
The paper relies on this without support.
Attentional deployment is a relatively nascent field within emotion regulation that warrants further exploration.
“Attentional deployment was initially chosen as the focus of the current review because it is a relatively nascent field within emotion regulation that seemed to warrant further exploration.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Habitual attention preferences influence individuals' subsequent emotions.
“These habitual attention preferences may influence individuals’ subsequent emotions.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
The three attentional networks (alerting, orienting, executive control) are distinct and can be independently modified by different attention training techniques.
“According to our model, concentration meditation (e.g., a type of focused attention training such as Shamatha) and insight meditation (e.g., a type of open monitoring training such as Vipassana) both initially require more cognitive effort to enlist as compared to other attentional regulatory processes”
The paper relies on this without support.
Improvements in self-reported emotion regulation outcome measures (e.g., TMD, positive affect) reflect actual emotion regulation.
“These results indicate students receiving the MBSR training were better able to regulate their emotions during a stressful time as indicated with the significant difference in the TMD, an emotion regulatory outcome measure.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The reviewed studies' findings can be generalized to the paper's model of attention training and emotion regulation.
“The evidence presented in this paper suggests that attentional deployment may be a critical tool for regulating emotion; however it is important to note that this evidence remains preliminary.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
