大量的研究表明，情绪化的面部表情可以在无意识中处理。然而，人们一直认为，这种处理只发生在一个全球性的基于效价的水平上，允许个人从负面情绪中分离出积极情绪，而不是具体的情绪。在三项研究中，我们调查了有限的意识条件下，使用修改后的变体的情感启动任务的情绪加工的特异性。快乐，愤怒，悲伤，恐惧和中性表情的面孔被呈现为33 ms（研究1）或14 ms（研究2和3）的掩蔽启动，然后是情绪目标面孔（研究1和2）或情绪形容词（研究3）。参与者的任务是对目标情绪进行分类。在所有三项研究中，目标的歧视显着影响的情绪启动超出了简单的积极与消极的区别。结果表明，情绪的具体方面可能会自动解开除了价，即使在主观无意识的条件下。
An immense body of research demonstrates that emotional facial expressions can be processed unconsciously. However, it has been assumed that such processing takes place solely on a global valence-based level, allowing individuals to disentangle positive from negative emotions but not the specific emotion. In three studies, we investigated the specificity of emotion processing under conditions of limited awareness using a modified variant of an affective priming task. Faces with happy, angry, sad, fearful, and neutral expressions were presented as masked primes for 33 ms (Study 1) or 14 ms (Studies 2 and 3) followed by emotional target faces (Studies 1 and 2) or emotional adjectives (Study 3). Participants' task was to categorise the target emotion. In all three studies, discrimination of targets was significantly affected by the emotional primes beyond a simple positive versus negative distinction. Results indicate that specific aspects of emotions might be automatically disentangled in addition to valence, even under conditions of subjective unawareness.
