Abstract
Findings on attentional bias (AB) in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are highly mixed. Although some studies provide evidence for a threat-related AB in OCD, many others yield null effects. The present review considers three potential factors that may help reconcile this inconsistency: disorder heterogeneity, methodological approaches, and individual differences in attentional control. Reconciling this inconsistency in future research may yield findings that can more directly inform the development of more effective treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
