Abstract

The question that guided this review of literature was: Are cognitive bias modification approaches effective in reducing anxiety symptoms of adolescents? Anxiety is a typical reaction to stress, but some people suffer from excessive anxiety that affect their day-to-day life. Finding an intervention that is effective in a school setting without needing trained professionals would be beneficial. Cognitive bias modification focuses on interpretive or attention biases. CBM aims to modify those biases in order to help reduce anxiety in individuals.
