In this research, the main goal was to study the effect of stress on visual selective attention, by moderating role of to Neuroticism (N). The sample group was selected with respect to neuropsychological screening variables by multi-session random sampling from unmarried male students of the universities in Tehran (60 individuals in three equal groups (20 individuals in each group; two experimental groups and one control group). Individuals in experimental groups administered cognitive stressful tasks and subsequently their visual selective attention was assessed. The attention of visual selective control group members' was assessed without administrating cognitive stressful tasks. Sum of errors in counting and errors in classification designated as visual attention indexes. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicated that stress significantly increased both counting and classification errors (p<0.0001). In addition, Neuroticism (N) aggravated the effect of stress on both counting error and classification error (p<0.0001) considerably. These results revealed that stress reduces the visual selective attention on neutral stimuli and Neuroticism (N) intensifies this negative effect.
