Affective traits, including extraversion and emotion regulation, are important considerations in clinical psychology due to their associations with the occurrence of affective disorders. Previously, emotional real-world scenes have been shown to infl... Read More about The influence of stimuli valence, extraversion, and emotion regulation on visual search within real-world scenes.
