This work examines differences in the detection and distraction by social-threatrelated
information between a social phobia group (SP; N533) and a normal
control group (NC; N532). The change obtained after psychological treatment
is also studied for the SP group. A paper-and-pencil visual search task is used, in
which the emotional valence of the ‘‘target’’ (social threat, physical threat, and
neutral words) and ‘‘distractor’’ (social threat, physical threat, neutral, and
nonsense words) verbal stimuli is manipulated. Results indicate that there are
no differences in the detection of social-threat targets between SP and NC
participants. However, the performance of SP individuals is more impaired
when distractor stimuli related to social threat are presented, regardless of the
target valence. This increased distraction by social-threat-related stimuli
is reduced after psychological treatment, and this decrease is maintained at
6-month follow-up [-]
