视觉注意的研究往往依赖于反应时间的措施，以显示注意促进和抑制的影响。在这里，我们扩展了注意力对行为的影响的调查，并表明与不熟悉的面孔相关的先前注意力状态可以影响随后对这些面孔的社会情感判断。研究人员向参与者展示了成对的面部图像，并要求他们在其中一张脸上出现透明的停止信号提示时保持沉默。这有助于将提示的面部与抑制状态联系起来。后来，当被要求对这些面孔对做出社交情感选择时，参与者比有线索的面孔更频繁地选择无线索的面孔，因为“更值得信任”，而比无线索的面孔更频繁地选择有线索的面孔，因为“不太值得信任”。对于知觉选择，问题的框架没有影响（哪张脸是“在较亮的背景上”还是“在较暗的背景上”）。这些结果表明，注意力抑制可以与社会相关的刺激，如面孔，并可以有特定的，有害的影响社会情绪的判断。
Visual attention studies often rely on response time measures to show the impact of attentional facilitation and inhibition. Here we extend the investigation of the effects of attention on behavior and show that prior attentional states associated with unfamiliar faces can influence subsequent social-emotional judgments about those faces. Participants were shown pairs of face images and were asked to withhold a response if a transparent stop-signal cue appeared over one of the faces. This served to associate the cued face with an inhibitory state. Later, when asked to make social-emotional choices about these face pairs, participants chose uncued faces more often than cued faces as "more trustworthy'' and chose cued faces more often than uncued faces as "less trustworthy.'' For perceptual choices, there was no effect of how the question was framed (which face is "on a lighter background'' vs. "on a darker background''). These results suggest that attentional inhibition can be associated with socially relevant stimuli, such as faces, and can have specific, deleterious effects on social-emotional judgments.
