The effect of fear/non-fear stimuli on trait anxiety to task performance

본 연구는 공포 자극이 불안한 사람의 과제 수행에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 성격적으로 불안한 사람이 인지적 수행을 하고 있는 중에 갑자기 공포 자극을 받으면, 공포자극에 대한 위험/위협 스키마타가 활성화됨으로써 인지 수행이 방해받고 불안이 더욱 상승할 것이라고 가정하였다. 특성 불안 수준이 높은 집단(상위 25%)과 낮은 집단(하위 25%)으로 피험자들을 나누었으며, 단문을 타자하는 동안 공포 자극이나 비공포 자극을 제시하고서 그들의 오타수, 심박, 상태불안의 변화를 비교하였다. 특성불안이 높은 집단이 낮은 집단에 비해 공포 자극을 받았을 때, 심박이 상승하였으며, 오타수도 증가하였다. 그러나 기대했던 것과는 다르게 실험후 모든 집단에서 상태불안이 감소하였다. 연구 결과를 통해 공포자극은 심박, 상태불안과, 오타수에 직접적인 영향을 준 반면 특성불안은 공포자극과 결합하여 종속변인들에 영향을 주었다. 따라서 특성불안은 단독효과를 갖지 않으며 중재역할을 했을 가능성이 있다.

Abstract

In this study, the effect of fear stimuli to tast performance on trait anxiety was investigated. It is postulated that if an anxious person receives a certain fear stimulus during any cognitive task, the performance will be interrupted by an activation of danger/threat schemata due to the fear stimulus, and anxiety will be increase even more. According to this hypothesis, the participants were divided two groups: high trait anxiety(highest 25% in the sample) vs. low trait anxiety(lowest 25%). They were demanded typing short sentences and fear or nonfear stimuli were presented in performing the task. The changes in the numbers of error, heart rate, and state anxiety were compared in groups. The results showed that heart rate and the numbers of error were increased in the high trait anxiety group received fear stimuli. However, state anxiety was decreased in contrast to our expectation. It was found that fear stimuli directly affected to heart rate, state anxiety and the numbers of error, while trait anxiety affected to them combined with fear stimuli. Therefore, it is possible that trait anxiety does not have independent effect but works as a moderator.
