Abstract:
Objective:To explore the influence of different emotional states on college students' attention control ability in single and dual attention control tasks.Methods:A total of 28 college students from Xinjiang Normal University were selected as participants, and emotional pictures were used to activate the positive, negative and neutral emotional states of the participants, and the integrated paradigm of " double-choice Oddball+ Stroop" was used to investigate their attention control ability in different emotional states. The experiment was designed by 3 (emotional states: neutral mood, positive emotion and negative emotion) × 4 (task types: baseline task, single response inhibition, single interference inhibition and double attention control task), and the E-prime software was used to record the participant's reaction time and error rate. SPSS 21.0 software was used to perform repeated measurement ANOVA on the reaction time and error rate of 28 participants.Results:The interaction between emotional state and task type was significant( F(6, 22)=2.70, P<0.05). The main effect of emotional state was not significant ( F(2, 26)=0.79, P=0.461). The main effect of task type was significant ( F(3, 25)=28.46, P<0.001). The differences in average reaction time between baseline tasks, single interference suppression tasks, single response suppression tasks, and dual attention control tasks were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Simple effect analysis showed that in the single response inhibition task, the reaction time in positive emotional state ((499.62±72.09) ms) and negative emotional state ((521.52±86.39) ms) were significantly longer than that in the neutral emotional state((475.43±76.38) ms, both P<0.05), and that in the negative emotional state was significantly longer than that in the positive emotional state ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between emotional states in the baseline task, single interference suppression task, and double attention control task (all P>0.05). Conclusion:In the single attention control task, both positive and negative emotional states have emotional interference effect on the response inhibition ability of college students, and the interference effect of negative emotional state is more sighificant. In the dual attention control task, the emotional interference effect disappeared.
