Attention Training for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

The AMP is a computer-delivered attention modification protocol designed to enhance attention disengagement from threatening stimuli. The AMP protocol includes twelve 20-min sessions delivered over a 6-week period. During each session, participants will see 240 trials consisting of the various combinations of probe type (E or F), probe position (top or bottom), and word type (Neutral or Threat). 192 trials include one neutral word and one threat word: 2 (probe type) X 2 (probe position) X 2 (repetitions) X 24 (word pairs). On trials where participants see one neutral word and one threat word (i.e., 80% of the trials), the probe always follows the neutral word.

Applied Relaxation (AR) is a behavioral, skills-based intervention where individuals learn ways to reduce the physiological cues associated with anxiety and worry (Öst, 1987; Siev \& Chambless, 2007)

participants assigned to the clinical monitoring (CM) condition will receive the same information about the nature of GAD provided to participants in the active conditions
