Duygu tanıma testinde nevrotisizm ile ilgili seçici dikkat farklılıkları

Amaç: Yüksek nevrotik düzeye sahip olan bireylerin bilişsel sisteminin olumsuzluk içeren duygusal uyarıcılara karşı daha duyarlı olduğu ve bu yüzden bu bireylerin duygu içerikli uyarıcıları daha çabuk fark ettiği varsayılmaktadır. Bu varsayımın sadece özgül bazı duyular için mi, yoksa bütün duygular için mi geçerli olduğu henüz bilinmemektedir. Bu yüzden, bu çalışmada duygu tanıma testi sırasında nevrotisizm ile ilgili seçici dikkat farklılıklarını incelemeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: Bunu test etmek için, 95 katılımcı Eysenck Kişilik Testi dahil, bir dizi ölçek doldurdu. Daha sonra, bu katılımcılar, bir dizi duygusal yüz ifadelerini içeren duygu tanıma testine tabii tutuldu. Sonuçlar: Sonuçlar yüksek düzeyde nevrotisizmin mutlu yüz ifadesi hariç, gösterilen diğer bütün duygulara hızlı tepki verme ile ilişkili olduğu bulundu. Ayrıca, nevrotisizm düzeyi arttıkça, üzgün yüzleri tanıma doğruluğunun da arttığı gözlendi. Tartış- ma: Sonuç olarak, bilgi işleme sürecini etkileyen nörotisizm puanı yüksek olan bireylerin negatif duygulara karşı daha dikkatli oldukları bulundu. Buna neden olarak, nevrotisizmin bilişsel sistemi etkileyerek negatif duygular içeren uyarıcılara karşı duyarlılığı artırdığı ve buradan gelen verilerin öncelikli olarak kodlandığı söylenebilir.

Neuroticism related attentional biases on an emotion recognition task

Objective: It has been suggested that neurotic individuals rapidly detect emotional stimuli as their cognitive systemis may be in an alert mode that prioritizes the encoding of negative or threatening cues. However, it is still unknownwhether this assumption could be generalized to all emotional faces or it is specific to certain types of emotionalfaces. Methods: To examine for this aim, 95 participants filled a set of questionnaires including 21 item EysenckPersonality Questionnaire. Subsequently, they performed an emotion recognition task that consisted of a series ofemotional faces. Results: The results showed that neuroticism was associated with faster response times in thepresented emotional faces but not happy faces. Also, neuroticism did not associate with accurate recognition of thefaces except for sad faces. Discussion: It has been concluded that neuroticism which associated with informationprocessing may cause negative biases because worry related negative affects cause selective attention towardnegative stimuli. Thus, neurotic individuals rapidly detect negative stimuli as their cognitive system is on alert modeand therefore prioritizes encoding of negative or threatening cues.
