Abstract
The present study examined the role of engagement and anxiety in optimizing attention bias modification training (ABMT), a promising treatment for anxiety. Higher engagement was associated with reduced anxiety before ABMT, and reduced difficulty disengaging from threat post-ABMT. Thus, findings suggest that engagement may enhance ABMT efficacy.
