The automatic and strategic adaptation of affective processing biases: Effects of context and control (C06)

本课题研究了情感信息加工中偏向适应不同语境的神经机制。研究大脑对积极信息和消极信息反应的偏差取决于a)对情境的可控性和情境诱导的个人情感动机状态的自动适应，以及b)根据有意识的目标进行的战略适应。此外，该项目还调查了在情感信息的神经处理中对偏见的适应是否受到个体注意力控制能力的调节，以及它与韧性的关系。

This project investigates the neural mechanisms underlying adaptations of biases in affective information processing to different contexts. Biases in brain responses to positive versus negative information are studied as depending on a) automatic adaptations to the controllability of the situation and the context-induced affective-motivational state of the individual and b) strategic adaptations in accordance with conscious goals. Furthermore, the project investigates if the adaptation of biases in the neural processing of affective information is moderated by the individual ability for attention control and how it is related to resilience.
