The Effect of Emotion on Cognition Inhibition for State Anxiety

Abstract

Abstract: The effects of different emotions on cognition inhibition for state anxiety participants was the focus analysis of this study. The mental arithmetic was used to induce state anxiety. Different emotional pictures were presented before the Stroop task to explore how different emotion affect the cognition inhibition. The results showed that the scores on the state anxiety questionnaire were higher after the mental arithmetic procedure which demostrated that the mental arithmetic procedure can induce state anxiety effectively. In the congruite condition, positive emotion ruduced the reaction time while in the incongruite condition, the reaction time after positive and negative emotion was longer than that after neutral emoion which demostrated that positive and negative emotion can impair cognition inhibition of both state anxiety and normal participants.

Key words: emotion, state anxiety, cognition inhibition

摘要： 探讨了情绪对不同状态焦虑被试认知抑制的影响。采用减法运算诱发被试的状态焦虑，在Stroop任务之前呈现正性、负性和中性图片，考察情绪对高、低状态焦虑被试认知抑制的影响。结果发现，状态焦虑问卷上的得分在减法运算后显著提高；正性情绪加快了高、低状态焦虑被试一致条件下的反应时，不一致条件下，正性和负性情绪导致高、低状态焦虑被试的反应时均增长，表现出了正性和负性情绪对高、低状态焦虑被试认知抑制的阻碍作用。
