Rôles spécifiques de l'anxiété trait et état dans l'apparition et le maintien des biais attentionnels associés à l'anxiété : état des lieux et pistes d'investigation

Various explanatory tracks were suggested to try to clear up these data. Thus, it's possible that the time-course of the stressor may be an important variable. In addition, the review highlights that state anxiety averages are too often far from the norms established by Spielberger et al. In short, if the state anxiety level is not sufficiently high in a number of searches, it then appears difficult to highlight the attentional biases, which are associated with it. Among them, the resort to a methodology combining physiological measurements (salivary index, ocular movements recording…) and cognitive measurements (questionnaires, dot probe paradigm, Stroop task…) seems to warrant a better understanding of attentional processes.
