Abstract

This study investigated how emotion is proceeded. The affective priming effect of subliminal condition was compared to that of supraliminal condition by means of priming paradigm(Murphy & Zajonc, 1993), to confirm 'affective primacy effect'. In order to show different priming effect with the case accompanied by emotional arousal, the pictures of emotive events were used as priming stimuli of experiment 2. As Murphy and Zajonc(1993) found, the assimilation phenomenon was replicated in subliminal priming condition of experiment 1 as well as experiment 2. Unlike the previous research which found the disappearance of assimilation effect at supraliminal condition, the experiment 2 found that strong emotional arousal, caused by a long duration of the priming stimuli, produced strong assimilation effect. The present investigation suggests several processes of emotion may be fruitfully distinguishable. Finally, the implications of these results had been discussed.
