- Abstract
This research aims at studying the effect of subliminal affective priming of Internet emotions on the attentional bias. The Internet emotions were prime stimulus of this experiment, which were taking from a social software. The experiment was conducted by adopting a single factor within-subject design. The independent variable was the emotional valence of Internet emotions (positive, neutral, negative). The dot-probe paradigm was used to examine the differences of reaction time to the probe stimulus. The results showed that subliminal presence of positive Internet pictures which do not affect the attentional bias. Subliminal presence of negative Internet pictures would influence the attentional bias. There is a significant faster reaction time to negative images than to neutral after the negative affective priming. The presentation of the neutral Internet emotions under the threshold does not affect attentional bias.
