Based on an incentive motivation theory of extraversion (Depue & Collins, 1999), it was hypothesized that extraverts (relative to introverts) would exhibit stronger positive priming effects in affective priming tasks, whether involving words or pictures. This hypothesis was systematically supported in four studies involving 229 undergraduates. In each of the four studies, and in a subsequent combined analysis, extraversion was positively predictive of positive affective priming effects, but was not predictive of negative affective priming effects. The results bridge an important gap in the literature between biological and trait models of incentive motivation and do so in a way that should be informative to subsequent efforts to understand the processing basis of extraversion as well as incentive motivation.
基于外向性格的激励动机理论（Depue & Collins，1999），本研究假设在涉及单词或图片的情感启动任务中，外向者（相对于内向者）会表现出更强的正性启动效应。这一假设在涉及 229 名大学生的四项研究中得到了系统的支持。在四项研究中的每一项以及随后的综合分析中，外向性与正性情感启动效应呈正相关，但与负性情感启动效应无关。该结果填补了激励动机的生物和特质模型之间文献中的一个重要空白，并且应该为后续理解外向性格以及激励动机的加工基础的努力提供信息。
