Detailed description

Attention biases in threat processing have been assigned a prominent role in the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders. The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving gaze-contingent feedback is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders in clinically anxious 6-10 year-olds children. Participants will be assessed using clinical interviews and parent- and self-rated questionnaires before and after eight training sessions. Outcome measures will be anxiety symptoms and depression as measured by gold standard questionnaires as well as structured clinical interviews with children and their parents.
