The Effact Of Appraisals Of Certainty On Correspondence Between Implicit And Explicit Attitudes

Many research studies on the emotional impact of implicit and explicit attitudes. Researchers measured the subjects’ implicit or explicit attitude, as a baseline, and then induce a mood, last measured the subjects’ implicit or explicit attitude again, to research emotional implicit or explicit attitude Impact. There are also have research how emotion has effect on internal relationship between implicit and explicit attitudes, but they are from the potency of emotions to consider. These studies found that positive emotions can enhance the relationship between implicit or explicit attitude coupling while negative emotions will weak this union. But Huntsinger found joy and anger produces consistent emotional impact.This study assessed from the perspective of cognitive to research the emotion effect on the connection between implicit and explicit attitudes coupling. And we choose the self as the object of attitude. According Huntsinger experimental paradigm to measure implicit self-esteem, followed by emotions evoked, and finally measuring explicit self-esteem and emotional effects evoked test. The study included two experiments:Experimental purposes:(1) The purpose of the experiment 1:Verification results of previous studies. Happy mood can increase the implicit and explicit self-esteem coupling, anger can reduce the implicit and explicit self-esteem bond. On the results of this experiment, we has the second experiment; (2) the second experiment has three purposes:(a) validation of different positive emotions (happiness, surprise) Implicit and Explicit differences in self-esteem junctions; b different verification negative emotions (anger, fear) implicit and explicit self-esteem affect differences junctions; c inspection emotional certainty whether implicit and explicit self-esteem coupling an effect; d test whether implicit emotional controllability self-esteem and explicit links have an effect.Results:(1) a happy mood can significantly increase the implicit and explicit self-esteem coupling; (2) a happy mood can significantly increase the implicit and explicit self-esteem coupling; (3) Surprise sentiment failed to induce; (4) differences anger and fear implicit and explicit self-esteem junctions significantly; (5) the uncertainty implicit emotion plays an intermediary role between the incomplete and explicit self-esteem; (6) controlling emotions and implicit significant mediating effect of self-esteem was not significant.
