Abstract

Objective: After the COVID-19 outbreak, corona Anxiety has become prevalent all over the world. To understand and treat this type of Anxiety, researchers have examined its relationship with Attentional bias, a phenomenon closely associated with other types of Anxiety. The Dot-probe task is a common instrument used for the evaluation of Attentional bias. However, the psychometric properties of this instrument, when used for the assessment of Attentional bias towards coronarelated stimuli, are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the COVID-19 Dot-probe task to see whether its application in COVID-19 studies is justified. Methods: A total of 362 Iranian adults completed the COVID-19 Dot-probe task and Corona Anxiety Disease Scale (CADS), 146 of whom repeated this procedure after two weeks to provide test-retest data. Split-half reliability, the Cronbach α, , intraclass correlation coefficient of testretest scores, and associations between COVID-19 Dot-probe task and CADS were calculated using SPSS v. 26. Results: The study results indicated that the standard version of the COVID-19 Dot-probe task lacks internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity, whereas the response-based version of the instrument promotes all of these psychometric properties to an acceptable level. Conclusion: COVID-19 Dot-probe task is a psychometrically sound instrument for evaluating corona-related Attentional bias and investigating its role in the mechanism of corona Anxiety, only if the response-based method of computation is used for calculating the measures of Attentional bias.
