Summary:The attentional bias is one of the most relevant components in psichopatology and others emotional situations of vulnerability (pregnancy). One of the experimental methodologies used to evaluate the emotional hyperalertness is the emotional stroop task. This rigorous process of control of the stimuli used (neutral, emotional and activators) is a model who has followed successfully in other disorders (anxiety, eating disorders, alexithymia, etc.). We now present the obtained results with a sample of pregnant women from the city of Salamanca, in different terms of gestation and with different sociodemographic variables in the dimension of state of mood: activation, arousal and stress. It is also analyzed and discussed the relationship among these variables with other emotional and support dimensions. The practical implications for prenatal and postnatal psychology are significant for the establishment of educational prevention programs, both maternal (coping strategies) and child (bonding).
