Emotional conflict is a totally new field out of psychology，which is derived fromthe cognitive conflict. This dissertation provides the investigation of the individualsocial anxiety level emotional conflict effect and sequential adjustment effect based onaffective priming and word-face stroop.It is comprised with2sets of testing. Being the affective priming test，the one ofwhich sets the mood-words as stimulation onset，and mood-face as target stimulation，SOA=300ms，for the subject to judge the emotional valence of target stimulation. Thetest result tells that emotional conflict effect appears on every subject，that’s to say theresponse time is extended when affective priming descord with emotional valence oftarget stimulation. Mean-while，the high social anxiety group has longer response timethan low social anxiety group. At the same time in both of the high, low social anxietygroups are found in sequence adjustment effect.The second set of experiments take word-face Stroop mode，under the mood-faceover with emotional words，subjects were asked to judge the emotional valence of face.The results show that all subjects have the emotional conflict effect，which is theresponse time extending on account of word-face inconformity，the high social anxietygroup has shorter response time than low social anxiety group. At the same time in theboth of the high, low social anxiety groups are found in sequence adjustment effect.The results prove that，no matter in the emotional start mode or word-face Stroopmode，emotional conflict effect appears on all the subjects. The high social anxietygroup has longer response time than low social anxiety group under affective primingand shorter response under target stimulation significantly.The study shows that people with high sensitivity to emotional information, andtake more attentional resources in the events of conflict. However，subjects who have amood disorder in different exprimental paradigms of performance results are not fullyconsistent. Visible under certain conditions of emotino on cognitive efficiency and attentional bias effect of different.
