Correction: Appearance-related attentional bias is associated with dysmorphic appearance concern in individuals with jaw deformity: an eye-tracking study
To investigate the relationship between appearance-related attentional bias and concerns of dysmorphic appearance in individuals with jaw deformities, highlighting its clinical significance.
Key Findings:
Patients exhibited significantly higher BICI scores than controls, indicating greater concern.
Patients showed prolonged gaze duration toward the jaw region during self- and other-face viewing, suggesting a focus on perceived flaws.
Gaze duration was positively associated with BICI scores within the patient group, indicating a correlation between attention and concern.
Interpretation:
Individuals with jaw deformities exhibit elevated dysmorphic appearance concern and increased attention to facial features, indicating a perceptual-cognitive mechanism linked to appearance monitoring, with potential clinical implications.
Limitations:
The study's sample size may limit the generalizability of the findings.
The focus on jaw deformities may not represent other forms of dysmorphic concerns, and self-reporting measures may introduce bias.
Conclusion:
The findings characterize appearance-related attentional biases in individuals with jaw deformities and enhance understanding of perceptual processes related to dysmorphic appearance concern, underscoring the need for further research.
Longitudinal cohort data linked bullying and persistently unsupportive state gender-identity policies with worsening psychotic-like experiences among gender-diverse youths.
