Abstract

Highlights: [•] Attentional biases are a robust phenomenon in anxiety. [•] Previous research mostly did not address sex differences. [•] In our study, anxious women showed an attentional bias towards angry faces. [•] Anxious men showed an attentional bias towards happy faces. [•] Future studies need to take sex differences into account. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
