The relationship between children’s anxiety and cognitive biases was examined in two tasks. A group of 50 children aged 10 to 11 years (mean II years, SD = 3.71 months) was given two tasks. The first tested children’s selective attention (SA) to threat in an emotional Stroop task. The second explored facial processing biases using morphed angry-neutral and happy-neutral emotional expressions that varied in intensity. Faces with varying levels of emotion (25% emotion - 75% neutral, 50% emotion - 50% neutral, 100% emotion - 0% neutral [prototype] and 150% emotion - 0% neutral [caricature) were judged as being angry or happy. Results support previous work highlighting a link between anxiety and SA to threat. In addition, increased anxiety in late childhood is associated with decreased ability to discriminate facial expression. Finally, lack of discrimination in the emotional expression task was related to lack of inhibition to threat in the Stroop task.
