Abstract

Background

The Attentional Control Scale (ACS) is a self-report questionnaire that measures individual differences in attentional control.

Objective

This study compared four models of the French version of the ACS and examined its links to trait anxiety and three attentional networks (orienting, alerting, and executive control) measured with the Attention Network Test (ANT).

Results

Confirmatory analyses conducted with a sample of 284 university students supported a two-factor (focusing and shifting) model. For 59 participants who completed the ANT, we found a positive correlation between focusing and the executive control network, while shifting was negatively correlated with alerting and orienting. Trait anxiety was negatively correlated with focusing and the alerting and executive control networks.

Conclusion

Results are discussed with a view to improving the assessment of attentional control, a key executive dimension for emotion regulation and attentional disengagement in anxiety.

注意力控制量表的French适应性：验证性因素分析及其与特质焦虑和定向、警觉和执行控制注意力网络效率的关系

注意控制量表(ACS)是一种测量个体注意控制差异的自我报告问卷。目的比较法语版ACS的四种模型，探讨其与特质焦虑和注意网络测试(Attention Network Test, ANT)测量的三种注意网络(定向、警觉和执行控制)之间的联系。结果对284名大学生进行的验证性分析支持双因素(聚焦和转移)模型。在59名完成了ANT的参与者中，我们发现专注与执行控制网络呈正相关，而转移与警报和定向呈负相关。特质焦虑与注意力、警觉性和执行控制网络呈负相关。结论注意控制是焦虑情绪调节和注意脱离的一个重要执行维度，旨在进一步完善注意控制的评估。
