ON ATTENTION
Studies using questionnaire reports of attention functioning provide considerable evidence for a link between attention and psychopathology (e.g., Berntzen, 1987; Chaves & Barber, 1974; Gross, 1998; Miller, 1987; Mischel & Ebbesen, 1970).
Attention skill appears to be helpful in moderating trait anxiety (Derryberry & Reed, 2002), is closely linked to emotion regulation in infants (Harman, Rothbart, & Posner, 1997; Kochanska, Coy, Tjebkes, & Husarek, 1998; Rothbart, Ziaie, & O’Boyle, 1992), and buffers the effect of negative emotionality on problem behaviors in children (see Eisenberg, 2002, for a review).
