情感词和面孔似乎都是自动评估的，但目前还不清楚它们在自动性测量的感知显著性方面是否彼此不同。目前的研究探讨了可能的层次之间的情感刺激使用修改后的照片字Stroop任务。积极和消极的词被叠加在表达积极（快乐）和消极（愤怒，悲伤）情绪的面孔上。参与者对面孔和词语的效价进行了分类。在两个实验中，两种刺激类型都出现了干扰效应。然而，更大的干扰效果发生在判断的话比表情，这表明情感面孔比情感词的自动加工。当比较积极和消极表情的强度时，愤怒表情比悲伤表情产生更大的干扰效应，而快乐表情产生的干扰与愤怒表情类似。后一个结果与研究表明潜在的威胁刺激比积极刺激更自动处理形成对比。的影响进行了讨论。
Affective words and faces each seem to be evaluated automatically, but it is unclear if they differ from one another in perceptual salience as measured by automaticity. The current study examined a possible hierarchy among affective stimuli using a modified photo-word Stroop task. Positive and negative words were superimposed across faces expressing positive (happy) and negative (angry, sad) emotions. Participants categorised the valence of faces and words. Across two experiments, interference effects were seen for both stimulus types. However, larger interference effects occurred during judgements of words than expressions, suggesting affective faces are processed more automatically than affective words. When the strength of positive and negative expressions is compared, angry expressions resulted in a larger interference effect than sad, and happy expressions produce interference similar to that of angry faces. The latter result contrasts with research suggesting potential threat stimuli are processed more automatically than positive stimuli. Implications are discussed.
