This is crucial as previous studies have been unable to distinguish between engagement, disengagement, and behavioral freezing. Thirty-three participants (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub> = 28.75 years, <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic> = 8.98; 21 women) with self-reported specific phobia (spiders, snakes, and pointed objects) and their matched controls (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub> = 28.38 years, <jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic> = 8.66; 21 women) took part in the experiment. The participants were instructed to initially focus on a picture in the center of the screen, then search for a target picture in an outer circle consisting of six images, and respond via a button press whether the object in the target picture was oriented to the left or right. We found that phobic individuals show delayed disengagement and slower decision times compared with non-phobic individuals, regardless of whether the stimulus was threat-related or neutral. These results indicate that phobic individuals tend to exhibit poorer attentional control mechanisms and problems inhibiting irrelevant information. We also confirmed a threat-unrelated <jats:italic>shared feature effect<\/jats:italic> with complex stimuli (delayed disengagement when an attended stimulus and an unattended target share common stimulus features). This process might play a role in various experimental setups investigating attentional disengagement that has not yet been considered. These findings are important, as good attentional control may serve as a protective mechanism against anxiety disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3758\/s13414-024-02968-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,10]],"date-time":"2024-10-10T15:03:12Z","timestamp":1728572592000},"page":"2643-2658","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Eye-tracking analysis of attentional disengagement in phobic and non-phobic individuals"],"prefix":"10.3758","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Christina","family":"Saalwirth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4845-6539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maximilian","family":"Stefani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marian","family":"Sauter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Mack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2968_CR1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-IV)","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association.
