情绪启动对低自尊个体注意偏向的影响

The Effects of Affective Priming on Attentional Bias Among Individuals With Low Self-esteem

研究通过两个实验来探讨情绪启动对低自尊个体注意偏向的影响。实验一采用点探测实验范式考察高、低自尊个体的注意偏向特点。实验二将重复启动范式和点探测实验范式相结合,进一步探讨情绪启动如何影响低自尊水平个体注意偏向。结果表明:低自尊个体对负性信息存在注意偏向;情绪启动对低自尊个体注意偏向有显著的影响。正性情绪启动对低自尊个体负性注意偏向有显著的调节作用,负性情绪启动加重了低自尊个体的负性注意偏向。

The present study included two experiments.In experiment 1,we used the pictures of faces displaying emotion as the experimental materials and adopted the dot-probe paradigm to study the attentional bias characteristics of subjects with high and low self-esteem.In experiment 2,we adopted the repetition priming paradigm and dot-probe paradigm to explore the effects of affective priming on attentional bias of individuals with low self-esteem.We can conclude that individuals with low self-esteem tend to pay more attention to angry faces,thus indicating a negative bias in low self-esteem subjects;Affective priming has a significant effect on attentional bias of low self-esteem individuals.Under positive affective priming condition,the negative bias of low self-esteem individuals is improved obviously.Under the condition of negative affective priming,the attentional bias effect of individuals with low self-esteem is stronger than that under controlled conditions.Negative affective priming increased the negative attentionaI bias of individuals with low self-esteem.
