Abstract: It has been consistently found that Internet Addiction Disorder(IAD) has deficits in realistic social interaction while not in online interaction. The ability to perceive human face is the basis of social activities. Realistic and online interaction deal with different kinds of faces, the former is usually realistic faces while the latter is usually cartoon faces.A visual search paradigm was used to investigate attentional biases to realisticistic and cartoon emotinal faces in individuals who suffer from Internet Addiction Disorder and in controls.Totally 382 adolescents were identified based on Young's Online Internet Addiction test (IAT), and were selected15 IADs, and 18 HCs.The results showed that IADs showed quick orientation to angry face in real face and cartoon face condition; especially with showing the fastest detecting the angry face from the cartoon face matrix. More importantly, compared with the HCs, IADs had difficult disengagement from angry faces only in real face condition. IADs showed more negative emotional attentional bias to realisticistic faces than cartoon faces, with taking a longer time to disengage from realistic faces matrix. The results suggested that difficult disengagement from threatening stimuliaffect IADs' attentional bias to realisticistic and cartoon emotional faces.
