Temperament and early information processing: Temperament-related attentional bias in emotional Stroop tasks

Two emotional Stroop tasks (EST) using different stimuli (valent words and emotional faces) were used to study relations of EST-interferences with temperament and current mood. In both studies ( N 1 = 121 and N 2 = 124), the reliability of the attentional bias measures was improved by employing indi...

Description
Summary:Two emotional Stroop tasks (EST) using different stimuli (valent words and emotional faces) were used to study relations of EST-interferences with temperament and current mood. In both studies ( N 1 = 121 and N 2 = 124), the reliability of the attentional bias measures was improved by employing individually trimmed means to calculate interference scores. Across the two studies, relations were found between temperament and attention to unpleasant and pleasant information.
