Trait anxiety refers to an individual's perception of external stimuli as dangerous stimuli and producing a lasting and stable intrinsic trait,which is a long-term habitual emotional experience.Attentional bias refers to the Antoine,L.,Julie,B.L.,Tom,J.,& Davidson,R.J.(2008).Regulation of the neural circuitry of emotion by compasssion meditation: effects of meditative expertise.Plos One,3(3),e1897.tendency of attention to be attracted by a certain stimulus.Attention bias training refers to the training of individuals to shift their attention from negative stimuli to positive and positive stimuli,so that individuals reduce their attention to negative stimuli and reduce negative stimuli to individuals.Impact.Individuals with high trait anxiety are susceptible to people with anxiety disorders,and their distribution of negative emotional abnormalities is one of the reasons for individuals' anxiety.Therefore,this paper discusses whether high-trait anxiety individuals have attention bias towards negative stimuli,and whether attention-bias training has changed the attention traits of high-trait anxiety individuals,and whether it affects the individual's emotions.In the first experiment,the point detection paradigm was adopted.According to the State-Trait Anxiety Scale,30 college students with high trait anxiety and 30 college students with low trait anxiety were screened to investigate whether individuals with high trait anxiety had negative attention to negative stimuli.The experimental results show that individuals with high trait anxiety are more likely to be attracted to emotional stimuli,and they have a tendency to pay attention to negative stimuli.Experiment two uses a modified point detection paradigm.The individuals with high trait anxiety screened from the state-trait anxiety scale are divided into two groups,one is the attention bias training group,and the other is the control group.Impact of High Trait Anxious Individuals.The experimental results are as follows: 1.Compared with the control group,the negative attention bias value of the subjects in the attention bias training group decreased significantly,which showed that the subjects in the high trait anxiety group changed the attention bias through the attention bias training.2.Compared with the control group,the subjects' negative disengagement scores in the attention-biased training group decreased significantly,which showed that the subjects in the high-trait anxiety group had improved their ability to release attention in negative stimuli through attention-biased training.3.In the aspect of emotion assessment,by paying attention to bias training,participants in the high trait anxiety group had a certain change in their positive emotions and alleviated their state anxiety to a certain extent.
