对情绪面孔的自动关注的研究得出了不同的结果。因此，我们在七项研究（总计 N = 308）中使用点探针范式检查了不同情绪的面部表情（与中性面部相比）的有效性效果。情绪类型、CTI、任务、线索大小和掩蔽的系统变化允许对情绪和可能的调节因素的注意力捕获进行差异化评估。结果表明，情绪有效性效应普遍不存在，并且与任何一个被操纵的因素都缺乏显着的相互作用，这表明情绪的面部表情并不能以全自动的方式吸引注意力。这些发现表明，在研究情绪面孔的注意力捕获时，必须考虑情境和背景因素。
Research on automatic attention to emotional faces offers mixed results. Therefore we examined validity effects for facial expressions of different emotions (compared to neutral faces) with a dot-probe paradigm in seven studies (total N=308). Systematic variations of type of emotion, CTI, task, cue size, and masking allow for a differentiated assessment of attentional capture by emotions and possible moderating factors. Results indicate a general absence of emotional validity effects as well as a lack of significant interactions with either of the manipulated factors, indicating that facial expressions of emotions do not capture attention in a fully automatic fashion. These findings suggest that situational and contextual factors have to be taken into account when investigating attentional capture of emotional faces.
