Abstract
We examined the effect of trauma exposure type (interpersonal vs. non-interpersonal) and attention bias to threat among people with elevated posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Participants who experienced non-interpersonal trauma showed greater attention bias towards threat than those with interpersonal trauma, suggesting trauma type may influence attentional biases.
