A Study On The Attentional Bias Of Negative Information For College Students With Different Mental Elasticity

Resilience is a good personal character of individual under the stress or adversitycircumstances. The essence of resilience is that the subject achieve a good adaptation to objectwith the conscious adjustment and control. It covers four major characteristics:consciousness—the subject accept and reflect the objective stimuli from outside consciously, andit shows a positive state subjectively; interactive—there are interaction effects between subjectand object, the internal psychological factors are in a state of contact and interaction when in theprogress of the subject reflect to the object; integration—in the progress of the interaction, itforms a complete chain structure of psychological and externalization; otherness—the resiliencewill appear different strength, balance and flexibility with different nature. Although there arealready many researches of resilience, there is different of the concept, theory and research topic.This research attempt to strength the empirical research of resilience from the perspective ofattentional bias. It discusses the attentional bias to negative information in different resilience ofcollege students. On the research one, we survey the students from Qufu normal university withthe the CD-Resilience Seale(CD—RISC) that revised by Chinese researcher. It found that thereis no significant difference on gender and professional, but there is a significant differencebetween the different students of different resilience level, the result lay a solid foundation forthe next study. The study two is on the basis of study one, we choose the top27%as the highscore group and the end27%as the low score group. We compare the difference attentional biason negative information between the high and low group through the experimental paradigms ofthe dot-probe task, the typical stimuli of the negative information is the negative emotionalwords and negative evaluation. The result show that compared with the high resilienceindividuals, the low resilience individuals have more attentional bias to negative information.Research two include two parts: the main purpose of2(a) is discussing the difference ofattentional bias to negative emotional words between the different resilience individuals; themain purpose of2(b) is discussing the difference of attentional bias to negative evaluationbetween the different resilience individuals. The result show that the individual all haveattentional bias to negative information which include the negative emotional words andnegative evaluation, but compared to high resilience individuals, the low resilience individualshave more attentional bias. The following will show all conclusions.There is no significant difference of resilience on gender and specialty;All individuals have attentional bias to negative information;Relative to the high resilience individuals, the low resilience individuals have more attentional bias to negative emotional words;Relative to the high resilience individuals, the low resilience individuals have moreattentional bias to negative evaluation;Relative to the high resilience individuals, the low resilience individuals have moreattentional bias to negative information;Relative to the neutral words, individuals have more attentional bias to emotional words andevaluation;Relative to the positive emotional words and evaluation, individuals have more attentionalbias to negative emotional words and evaluation.
