摘要: Past research has linked action orientation to intuitive affect regulation (Koole & Jostmann, 2004; Kuhl, 1981). The present examines whether can regulate subliminally activated affect. In an experimental study, action- vs. state-oriented participants were exposed subliminal primes of schematic faces with angry, neutral, or happy expression. Participants subsequently rated their on a basic measure. results showed prime-congruent effects among state- oriented individuals: angry led lower compared primes. Action-oriented not influenced by the priming in affective reactions. authors conclude that is regulator responses, even when these responses are triggered outside conscious awareness.
