Resumo: Attention bias for stimuli perceived as threatening can be involved on the cause or maintenance of anxiety disorders. This study aimed to construct and test an Emotional Stroop task to evaluate the existence of bias for threatening words in women with Generalized Anxiety Disorders (GAD). Participants were 22 women, 12 diagnosed with GAD and 10 matched control. Anxiogenic words and control words were selected from the bank of words ANEW and 6 experienced psychotherapists selected the final list. All participants showed attention bias for threatening words with no differences between the groups. The task was sufficiently sensitive to detect attention bias and can be useful to detect attention bias concerning stimuli perceived as threatening and to evaluate future clinical interventions.

El sesgo atencional para estímulos percibidos como amenazadores puede contribuir como causa o factor mantenedor de los trastornos de ansiedad. El objetivo de este estudio fue construir y aplicar la tarea de Stroop Emocional, para evaluar la existencia de un sesgo atencional para palabras amenazadoras, en mujeres con Trastorno de Ansiedad Generalizada (TAG). Participaron 22 mujeres, 12 de ellas pacientes diagnosticadas con TAG y 10 sin este diagnóstico. Palabras ansiogénicas y palabras controles fueron seleccionadas del banco de palabras ANEW, por 6 psicoterapeutas experimentados. Los resultados demostraron un aumento del tiempo promedio de ejecución de la lista de palabras ansiogénicas (sesgo atencional), pero no arrojaron diferencias entre los grupos. La tarea de Stroop desarrollada fue lo suficientemente sensible como para detectar el sesgo atencional para estímulos percibidos como amenazantes en este muestreo, y se discute la importancia de utilizar estos datos, y de otros estudios, para fundamentar intervenciones clínicas más específicas. O viés de atenção para estímulos percebidos como ameaçadores pode estar envolvido na causa ou manutenção de transtornos de ansiedade. O objetivo deste estudo foi construir e testar uma tarefa de Stroop Emocional para avaliar a existência de um viés para palavras ameaçadoras em mulheres com Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada (TAG). Participaram 22 mulheres, sendo 12 diagnosticadas com TAG e 10 controles emparelhados. Palavras ansiogênicas e palavras-controle foram selecionadas do banco de palavras ANEW, a lista final foi selecionada por 6 psicoterapeutas experientes. Os participantes demonstraram viés de atenção para palavras ansiogênicas, sem haver diferença entre os dois grupos. A tarefa de Stroop desenvolvida foi suficientemente sensível para detectar o viés de atenção para estímulos percebidos como ameaçadores e pode ser útil para avaliar intervenções clínicas no futuro.
