Experimental Study Of Attentional Bias In College Athletes With Different Level Of Implicit Aggression

There were so many researches about aggression domestic and overseas, however, few have systematically investigated attentional bias toward to negative stimulus among college athletes aggression, and no theoretical model has been well established. Hence, this study discussed the mechanism of attentional bias on implicit aggression among college athletes. The purpose of the first study was to explore the character of implicit aggression among college athletes with different sport events, and there were26participants (14in high implicit aggression group versus12in low implicit aggression group) selected according to IAT. A visual dot probe task was used in study1, and the stimuli were real facial expressions including anger, sadness, neutral and happy faces. A2(high implicit aggression/low implicit aggression)×3(happy/angry/sad) mixed design was adopted to compare the reaction time deviations to different emotion facial expressions. Study2used eye tracker to explore the mechanism of the attentional bias toward negative information. The results were as follows:(1) Attentional bias to facial expression of anger was shown on high implicit aggressiveness individuals.(2)The pattern of attentional bias on anger expression was hyper-vigilance--maintenance while avoidance pattern on happy expression.
