Nowadays,accompanied by pressure,the state of people’s anxiety is getting worseand the study on anxiety is also becoming a hot. Reviewing the previous research,wefound that the study on anxiety is mainly concentrated on a bias towards preferentialprocessing of negative stimuli. Researchers think the anxious group has an attentionbias to negative stimulation,and they have more negative cognitive evaluation tonegative stimulation. And domestic research on anxiety,are mostly based on the traitanxiety,but few on the state anxiety,the similarities and differences of cognitiveevaluation between state and trait anxiety are rarely involved. This study through twoexperiments,from two aspects of implicit and explicit,to study the cognitive evaluationof anxiety under different emotional priming.We divide the subjects into three groups:high state anxious group、high traitanxious group and low anxious group from dimensions of state anxiety and traitanxiety,according to their scores of State-Trait questionnaire,and each type is30people,90total. the results are as follows:1. In implicit experiment,there is no significant differences between cognitiveevaluation under positive emotional priming and evaluation under negative emotionalpriming;but in explicit experiment,cognitive evaluation under positive emotionalpriming is significantly better than under negative emotional priming;2. In implicit experiment,there is no significant differences between cognitiveevaluation of high state anxious group and high trait anxious group;but in explicitexperiment,under positive emotional priming,there is no significant differencesbetween cognitive evaluation of high state anxious group and high trait anxious group;However,under negative emotional priming,cognitive evaluation of high state anxiousgroup is better than cognitive evaluation of high trait anxious group; 3. In implicit experiment,under positive emotional priming,there is no significantdifferences between cognitive evaluation of low anxious group and high anxious group,under negative emotional priming,there is significant differences between cognitiveevaluation of low anxious group and high state anxious group,but no significantdifferences between cognitive evaluation of low anxious group and high trait anxiousgroup;However in explicit experiment,cognitive evaluation of low anxious group isbetter than evaluation of high anxious group both under positive and negative emotionalpriming.
