In this task, participants are presented with a central target face while ignoring surrounding flanker faces that may display angry or hostile expressions.
This task can be used to explore relationships between attentional bias and constructs such as current stress level, personality traits, or past experiences with threat. Past research suggests that individuals with heightened sensitivity to threat tend to show slower and less accurate responses when the flankers display angry expressions, indicating that their attention is more easily captured by threatening stimuli (Parra et al., 2018; Zhou & Liu, 2013).
