TI  - Auditory attentional biases in young males with physical stature dissatisfaction.

AB  - The attentional biases toward body-related information for individuals with 
      weight concerns and eating disorders have been well documented. However, our 
      knowledge of the attentional biases toward body-related information for subjects 
      with physical stature concerns is only at the beginning. And the research on the 
      auditory attentional biases for individuals with physical stature concerns is 
      rare. The identification of attentional biases may provide an impetus for 
      interventions to reduce distress among height dissatisfied individuals. 
      Therefore, the present study investigated the neural mechanisms of attentional 
      bias toward auditory physical stature-related words among height dissatisfied 
      young males by using event-related potential recordings. Forty-four young male 
      participants screened by Negative Physical Self Scale-Stature Concerns subscale 
      (NPS-S) were assigned into an experimental group with high levels of height 
      dissatisfaction (HHD) and a control group with low levels of height 
      dissatisfaction (LHD). Task irrelevant auditory tall-related words, short-related 
      words and neutral words were presented unilaterally to the participants as the 
      cue in a cue-target paradigm. Participants were required to respond to the visual 
      target preceded by the task-irrelevant auditory cue. The results found that 
      significantly larger N2ac was elicited by tall-related words than short-related 
      words and neutral words only for the HHD group, but not for the LHD group. LPCpc 
      amplitudes did not differ significantly by the functions of word types and 
      experimental groups. These results suggest an attentional orienting bias toward 
      auditory tall-related words for young males with high levels of height 
      dissatisfaction.
