Abstract
Rejection sensitivity, attentional control, and symptoms of anxiety were examined in a sample of HIV-negative gay and bisexual men. Rejection sensitivity and attentional control were both associated with anxiety outcomes. The interaction between rejection sensitivity and attentional control was not significant for anxiety outcomes. Clinical implications will be discussed.
