Attention Bias Variability in a Dot-Probe Task of Attentional Bias to Climate Change Images: Link to General Reaction Time Variability

Attentional bias to climate change information can be measured with the dot-probe task, but the traditional index has reliability concerns. Attention bias variability captures shifts in attention, but its reliability weakens when reaction time variability is controlled, indicating it is unsuitable for assessing individual differences in attention to climate change.
