An Exploratory Study:the Influence Of Visual Stimulus Of Air Pollution On Human Implicit Aggression

This study aimed to explore whether haze weather can cause negative affective or not and therefore stimulate human implicit aggression. First explore the affective priming effect of haze weather picture, and then start to measure implicit aggression.In study one, the experimental material were collected, which were three type of picture——clear sky pictures, haze weather pictures and neutral emotional pictures. After confirming the emotional attributes of the three type of picture, study two started. The function is D1=0.649Valence-2.918In study two, the psychological states and life stress of subjects were investigated, and the three type of pictures were used in the implicit aggression experiment. A word test which consists of aggressive words and non-aggressive word was used to testify subjects’ implicit aggression experiment. The result shows that subjects who watched clear sky pictures have a short reaction time of aggressive words generation((M=601..97))and significantly shorter then subjects who watched the haze weather picture(M=666.03), P=0.000.The conclusion is haze weather can stimulate negative emotion, while clear sky can stimulate positive emotion; Haze weather do not cause human implicit aggression, but the conclusion needs further verification.
