Looking on the bright side: biased attention and the human serotonin transporter gene.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 May 2009

Fox Elaine, Ridgewell Anna, Ashwin Chris

Abstract excerpt

Humans differ in terms of biased attention for emotional stimuli and these biases can confer differential resilience and vulnerability to emotional disorders. Selective processing of positive emotional information, for example, is associated with enhanced sociability and well-being while a bias for negative material is associated with neuroticism and anxiety. A tendency to selectively avoid negative material...
