简要总结
Participants will complete a pre and post training psychological assessment. Participants will be assigned to attention control training or the comparison stimuli computer task in a double-blind randomized control trial design. Both computerized dot probe tasks display two stimuli on a computer screen, one above the other, followed by a small right or left arrow appearing in the location vacated by one of the stimuli. Participants are required to respond as quickly as they can by pressing the indicated right or left arrow on their computer keyboard without compromising accuracy. Participants complete 6 training sessions.

研究组 & 干预措施
Attention Control Training Clinic
Attention Control Training Clinic will consist of:
- 6 sessions in the clinic lasting approximately 10 minutes each.
- Each session will consist of 128 presentations of pairs of neutral and threatening stimuli, followed by the presentation of a response cue (right or left arrow to be clicked on a computer keyboard).
干预措施: Attention Control Training (Behavioral)
Attention Control Training Web-delivery
Attention Control Training Web-delivery will consist of:
- 6 sessions lasting approximately 10 minutes each logged into via the internet from the participants' home.
- Each session will consist of 128 presentations of pairs of neutral and threatening stimuli, followed by the presentation of a response cue (right or left arrow to be clicked on a computer keyboard).
- Ideally participants will complete 2 sessions per week, allowing them to complete the trial in less than one month's time
干预措施: Attention Control Training (Behavioral)
Comparison Task Clinic
- 6 sessions in the clinic of a presumably inactive neutral-neutral stimuli intervention lasting approximately 10 minutes each.
- Each session will consist of 128 presentations of pairs of faces, followed by the presentation of a response cue (right or left arrow to be clicked on a computer keyboard).
(Note that those receiving this arm, are invited to repeat the attention control training web-delivery arm at the end of their participation).
