A Study On The Effect Of Emotional Conflict In The Word Face Stroop Paradigm

In daily life,we will inevitably produce many emotions,and because everyone and society,and others closely,the occurrence of emotional basically can’t be single,there will be emotional conflict situation.There are five main types of research paradigm of emotional conflict,namely emotional Stroop paradigm,word face Stroop paradigm,emotional Flanker paradigm,affective priming paradigm and body-word emotional conflict task,of course,in addition,there are some of the less commonly used paradigms,such as emotional faces and house pictures.Among them,the word face Stroop paradigm is considered to be the most effective model for direct measurement of emotional conflict,and also the most widely used paradigm(Shen Xiaofei,2014).In this paper,we mainly use the word face Stroop paradigm.Although the emotional conflict is a hot field of psychological research,but previous studies have found that there are still some limitations,such as the previous research on task types on the emotional conflict is less,and the conclusion is not consistent;on the impact of emotional conflict more focused on gender,presentation time,conflict probability,attention for less studied resources the distribution of emotional conflict.In this study,we use the word face emotional Stroop paradigm to research emotional conflict effect.The first experiment adopted 2(task types: word judgment,face judgment)* 2(word-face emotional valence consistency: conflict,consistent)within subjects design.The subjects are required to complete two sets of tasks,a set of tasks for the Word judgment task,a set of tasks for face judgment task,the dependent variables are the reaction time and correct rate.Word(face)judgment task: to be tested to determine the central location of the face of the emotional words written in the central location,while ignoring the face(word)expression.The results showed that both in word judgment task or face judgment task,emotional conflict effects exist in college students;in response,task types on the emotional conflict effect has no effect;in the correct rate,when the word face emotional valence conflict situation,task typeshave significant influence on the correct rate but,in the word face emotional valence under the same task types on the correct rate has no effect;experimental stimulation in non target stimulus background stimulation of negative emotional valence,has more influence on the target stimuli,produce emotional conflict effects more strongly;Boys and girls in the two types of tasks,only in the word-face emotional price in line with the correct rate of boys was significantly higher than girls.In the two types of tasks,there was no significant difference between boys and girls.The second experiment used 3(task types: word face consistency judgment,emotional words on the consistency of the judgment,emotional face consistency judgment)* 2(wordfacial emotion valence consistency: conflict,consistent)within subjects design.The subjects are required to complete three sets of tasks,a set of tasks for judging the consistency of the emotional faces,a set of tasks for word-face consistency judgment task,and finally a set of tasks for judging the consistency of emotional words.In Experiment 1,participants will pay attention to resources on the target stimulus,the second experiment will equal distribution of attention resource in vocabulary and faces,so the first experiment is carried out in the allocation of attentional bias under the condition and the second experiment is carried out in the note under the condition of equal distribution.The results showed that college students in the three types of tasks are observed in the emotional conflict effect;Analyze the differences between the four kinds of materials category,although the target stimuli are positive or negative,are consistent conditions,but when the target are negative was significantly significant differences with the target stimulation are positive,regardless of the reaction time and correct rate;in the word consistency judgment task,target stimuli in positive emotion words and negative emotional words present position will also affect the emotional conflict effect;in the three consistency judgment task,the correct rate of boys were significantly lower than those of girls;in addition to the conflict condition of face consistency the judgment task,boys in other conditions,response time was significantly longer than girls.In the condition of equal distribution of attention,the physical characteristics of the stimulus materials are the same,the effect of emotional conflict is smaller,namely the effect of the emotional conflict is affected by the way of distribution attention resources.
