Abstract
The role of attachment and emotion regulation in attentional biases for emotional and attachment-related information was investigated. Attachment insecurity predicted facilitated engagement with negative attachment-related words, potentially reflecting a threat response. Cognitive reappraisal predicted facilitated disengagement from negative emotional words, supporting the role of reappraisal in promoting positive mood.
