关于情绪刺激的加工存在自动化和非自动化两种观点。相关研究通过定义体现“自动化”概念的特征变量,并考察这些变量如何受情绪刺激加工的影响,依此判断情绪刺激的加工是否为自动化的。本文分析了两种观点矛盾的原因,并在此基础上提出情绪刺激的加工不能通过自动化加工或非自动化加工简单划分,而是一个早期自动化加工与晚期控制加工整合的过程,在这一过程中,情绪刺激加工因为注意效应的存在而受到情绪显著性、认知因素的调控,从而影响了情绪刺激加工的自动化程度。
Abstract: There are two different views about the processing of emotional stimuli, namely automatic processing and non-automated processing. Related researches embody characteristic variables of automation concept by definition and exam how these variables are affected by emotional stimuli processing to determine whether the processing of emotional stimuli is automated. This paper discusses the reason of contradiction between the two views and proposes the opinion that the processing of emotional stimuli can’t be simply classified through automated processing or non-automated processing, but a process of early automatic processing and later controlling integration. In this process, the processing of emotional stimuli is affected by emotional significance and cognitive factors due to the existence of attention effect; thus it affects the automation degree of the processing of emotional stimuli.
