“confirming that the magnitude of the association between social anxiety vulnerability and selective attentional responding to negative social information varied as a function of participants’ attentional control. Specifically, in participants who exhibited relatively low attentional control, lower levels of social anxiety vulnerability were characterized by a tendency to attentionally avoid negative social information which was not demonstrated by participants with higher levels of social anxiety vulnerability. Thus, participants high in social anxiety vulnerability displayed greater relative attention to negative information than did those low in social anxiety vulnerability, but only when attentional control was relatively low.” (Mazidi et al., 2021)
