The Time-course Difference of the Attention Paid by High Disgust Sensitivity and Low Disgust Sensitivity Individuals when Processing Different Emotional Pictures: An Event-related Potentials Study

Abstract

Abstract: In order to investigate the time-course difference of the attention that paid by high disgust sensitivity and low disgust sensitivity individuals when prcessing disgust emotional pictures and neutral emotional pictures, the presents study used the event-related potentials (ERPs) technique to study the difference of attention processing when they see. The results showed: For the N1, N2, high disgust sensitivity group was larger than low disgust sensitivity group. For the LPP, there was no significant difference between sensitivity groups for disgust pictures, but there was a significant difference between sensitivity groups for neutral pictures. These results suggest that high disgust sensitivity individuals shows higher attention to all stimulants. And as to the attention degree of neutral stimulant, high disgust sensitivity objects is still significantly higher than low disgust sensitivity objects.

Key words: disgust sensitivity, emotion, attention, event-related potentials (ERPs)

摘要： 选取高厌恶敏感性和低厌恶敏感性个体作为本实验的研究对象，运用ERP技术考察观看厌恶、中性情绪图片时，不同厌恶敏感性个体注意加工时程差异。结果发现，从早期波开始，相比低厌恶敏感性个体，高厌恶敏感性个体N1、N2波的波幅都增强，但到了晚期波，高低厌恶敏感性个体注意厌恶情绪图片差异不显著，但高厌恶个体注意中性图片的LPP波显著增强。这表明高厌恶敏感性个体不仅对高厌恶图片有高注意，对中性情绪图片也表现出较多注意。
