Looking through a glass onion: Exploring the validity of eye-tracking technology in capturing self-directed attention
This study explores the use of the Incidental Mirror Exposure (I-ME) paradigm with eye-tracking to measure self-directed attention, highlighting its potential to capture maladaptive traits like social anxiety, vulnerable narcissism, and self-absorption.

(Eye-)tracking the Escape from the Self
Using an eye-tracker coupled with a reflexive dark screen, we observed that guilt-proneness moderates self-focus avoidance following failure.

The defeated self: Evidence that entrapment moderates first name priming effects on failure-thought accessibility
Suboptimal name priming facilitated the detection of words related to failure (e.g., DEFEAT) or to escape (e.g., ESCAPE). This effect on failure-related words was moderated by feelings of entrapment.
