Integrating Personality Structure, Personality Process, and Personality Development (2017, background): “generally, we argue that experimental manipulations of processes can yield insight into causal relations of relatively stable inter-individual differences in these processes (e.g. Maltese, Baumert, Schmitt, & MacLeod, 2016; MacLeod et al., 2002).”
The Metaphorical Representation of Affect (2005, background): “, proposition three), Meier and Robinson (2004) conducted two studies. In the first study, participants evaluated the same 100 positive and negative words used in the studies by Meier et al. (2004). The words were presented one at a time in a randomly chosen vertical position either higher (top) or ”
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Different Treatments, Similar Mechanisms? (2008, background): “…differentiate nonanxious and anxious individuals (e.g., Asmundson et al., 1992; Bradley et al., 1998, 1999, 2000) and there is initial evidence to support a causal role of attentional biases in the etiology of anxiety and emotional reactivity (MacLeod et al., 2002, 2004; Mathews & MacLeod, 2002).”
Distorted cognition and pathological anxiety in children and adolescents (2008, methodology): “This finding is consistent with the above described work showing that attention biases can be trained (MacLeod et al., 2002); however, it did not require a long training phase on the dot-probe paradigm but merely a short burst of verbal threat information.”
Preliminary Study of Attention Training to Threat and Neutral Faces on Anxious Reactivity to a Social Stressor in Social Anxiety (2010, methodology): “Although the number of attention training trials may have contributed to our results, it may not fully explain our findings as a study that used a similar number of trials as MacLeod et al. (2002) also failed to find speeded detection for neutral faces after attention training toward neutral faces”
When the going gets tough: Grit predicts costly perseverance (2015, background): “Twenty one of the anagrams were highly dif-ﬁcult: they only had one correct solution and were chosen from among the most difﬁcult for college-age samples to solve (Aspinwall & Richter, 1999; MacLeod et al., 2002).”
Emotion regulation in depression: Examining the role of cognitive processes (2010, background): “Using this approach, MacLeod, Rutherford, Campbell, Ebsworthy, and Holker ( 2002 ) first established that attentional biases could be modified by working with participants who scored in the middle third of the distribution on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger, Gorusch, & Lushene, ”
