In order to gauge in a precise fashion the capture of attention by emotional stimuli, we developed a new tool that imports the classic Stroop effect into the realm of emotion. Strooping the typical emotion tasks enabled the derivation of a pure intraitem measure of attention under emotion. The results of two experiments showed that the classic Stroop effects were smaller with emotion than with neutral words, demonstrating the power of emotion to bias attention. This emotional dilution of the Stroop effect can serve as a general-purpose tool for assessing attention under emotion.
为了精确地衡量情绪刺激对注意力的捕获，我们开发了一种新工具，将经典的斯特鲁普效应引入到情绪领域。对典型情绪任务的斯特鲁普效应进行分析，得出了一个纯粹的情绪内项目注意力测量值。两项实验的结果表明，情绪条件下的经典斯特鲁普效应比中性词条件下的要小，这表明情绪有偏向注意力的力量。这种斯特鲁普效应的情绪稀释可以作为评估情绪下注意力的通用工具。
