The effect of automatic emotion regulation on attention bias for altruistic stimuli
Altruism is a typical manifestation of the goodness of human nature,and is sometimes uncon-scious and automatic.The present study aimed to examine whether altruism images were automatically pro-cessed and automatic emotion regulation could influence attention bias toward altruistic logos,by adopting emotional flanker task and Chinese four-character idiom matching task.Two experimental conditions were designed,one was an automatic emotion regulation condition with altruistic or positive meaning,and the other was a neutral control condition.The results showed that after automatic emotion regulation was acti-vated,the participants responded faster to altruistic images with higher accuracy;No matter what type of priming,when altruistic images and neutral images were presented at the same time,the participants re-sponded slower to neutral images than three neutral images.The results showed that automatic emotion reg-ulation could effectively enhance the attention bias of altruism emotion,and attention bias to altruistic stimuli was prior to processing.
