提出了三项研究，探讨标准情感启动范式中的情感启动效应是否以及在多大程度上容易受到自愿控制。具体来说，测试的是参与者在被指示时是否能够消除或放大情感启动效应。在实验 1 中，参与者成功地执行了操作指令来减少或消除影响。实验2表明，这种操纵尝试在相反的方向上也取得了成功，参与者自愿增强了启动效应。此外，研究表明，这种操纵效应只能通过缩短初始呈现的持续时间以及初始和目标之间的刺激开始异步来部分防止。因此，前两项研究证明了情感启动范式对参与者自发和策略操纵意图的敏感性。然而，当实验 3 中通过实施响应期限而产生适度的时间压力时，操纵努力失败了。讨论了这些结果对情感启动范式在态度研究中应用的影响，特别是在社会敏感领域。
Three studies are presented that explored if and to what extent affective priming effects in a standard affective priming paradigm are susceptible to voluntary control. Specifically, it was tested was whether participants were able to eliminate or amplify affective priming effects when instructed to do so. In Experiment 1, it was shown that participants were successful in implementing manipulation instructions to decrease or eliminate the effect. Experiment 2 showed that such manipulation attempts succeeded in the opposite direction too, with participants voluntarily enhancing priming effects. Furthermore, it was shown that such manipulation effects could only partly be prevented by shortening duration of prime presentation and stimulus onset asynchrony between prime and target. The first two studies thus proved the susceptibility of the affective priming paradigm to spontaneous and strategic manipulation intentions of participants. However, when a moderate time pressure was induced by implementing a response deadline in Experiment 3, manipulation efforts failed. Implications of these results for the application of the affective priming paradigm in attitude research, specifically in socially sensitive domains, are discussed.
