● The standard version of the dot-probe task lacks acceptable psychometric properties.
● The response-based version of the task compensates these shortcomings and improves its psychometric properties.
● The response-based dot-probe task can be used to measure corona-related attentional bias.
Plain Language Summary 
With the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus, people have increasingly become anxious about the threats of this pandemic. Since individuals who suffer from anxiety tend to pay more attention towards threatful stimuli (a phenomenon which is called attentional bias), researchers in Psychology have begun to investigate the relationship between corona anxiety and attentional bias. To do this, they use a common method of measuring attentional bias, which is called the dot-probe task. Using this tool, they show threatful and neutral pictures to the participants and see how their cognitive reactions is affected. However, the validity and reliability of this method for measuring attentional bias related to coronavirus have not been investigated. The study objective was to evaluate this validity and reliability. The results showed that the standard version of the COVID-19 dot-probe task lacks the acceptable levels of psychometric properties. In contrast, the response-based version of the instrument increases all of these psychometric properties to an acceptable level. Thus, the COVID-19 dot-probe task is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring corona-related attentional bias if the response-based method of computation is used for calculating the measures of attentional bias.

Plain Language Summary 
Gilbert’s theory suggests a three-part emotional system. The first system (threat system) is sensitive to the signs of threat and evokes negative emotions such as anxiety and anger to protect the person. The second system (drive system) is sensitive to the signs of rewards and evokes active, positive emotions such as vitality and excitement. The third system (soothing system) is sensitive to the signs of warmth and affiliation and produces lower arousal positive emotions such as calmness, contentment, and safeness. When this system is activated, one perceives the social world as safe, warm, and soothing. This emotional state is called social safeness that plays an essential role in mental health. Also, individuals with lower levels of social safeness fail to show self-compassion (compassionate behavior and attitude toward oneself), which in turn leads to mental health problems. The present study examined a model in which social safeness is related to mental health problems (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) through self-compassion. A total of 344 students participated in the research. According to the results, social safety and self-compassion have negative relationships with depression, anxiety, and stress. Also, social safeness is associated with low depression, anxiety, and stress through self-compassion. So it is recommended that mental disorders prevention and treatment programs consider self-compassion a vital component.
