采用图式(实验1)和照相面孔(实验2)研究了三种单一情绪任务和一种情绪比较任务中中性背景中愤怒、高兴和悲伤面孔的检测。这两个实验都为在使用所有三种目标情绪的任务中优先检测愤怒情绪而不是其他消极或积极情绪提供了证据。一般情况下,只有图式面孔才能优先发现负面情绪的证据。目前的结果与以下观点一致,即对愤怒和某种程度上悲伤的表现的检测并不反映预先注意机制,而是比对积极情绪的检测更有效的视觉搜索的结果。
Detection of angry, happy and sad faces among neutral backgrounds was investigated in three single emotion tasks and an emotion comparison task using schematic (Experiment 1) and photographic faces (Experiment 2). Both experiments provided evidence for the preferential detection of anger displays over displays of other negative or positive emotions in tasks that employed all three target emotions. Evidence for preferential detection of negative emotion in general was found only with schematic faces. The present results are consistent with the notion that the detection of displays of anger, and to some extent sadness, does not reflect on a pre-attentive mechanism, but is the result of a more efficient visual search than is the detection of positive emotion.
