The affect misattribution procedure (AMP) is one of the most promising implicit measures to date, showing high reliability and large effect sizes. The current research tested three potential sources of priming effects in the AMP: affective feelings, semantic concepts, and prepotent motor responses. Ruling out prepotent motor responses as a driving force, priming effects on evaluative and semantic target responses occurred regardless of whether the key assignment in the task was fixed or random. Moreover, priming effects emerged for affect-eliciting primes in the absence of semantic knowledge about the primes. Finally, priming effects were independent of the order in which primes and targets were presented, suggesting that AMP effects are driven by misattribution rather than biased perceptions of the targets. Taken together, these results support accounts that attribute priming effects in the AMP to a general misattribution mechanism that can operate on either affective feelings or semantic concepts.
影响归因程序（AMP）是迄今为止最有前途的内隐测量方法之一，具有很高的可靠性和较大的效应量。本研究测试了 AMP 中三种潜在的启动效应来源：情感感受、语义概念和优势运动反应。排除优势运动反应作为驱动力，无论任务中的关键分配是固定的还是随机的，对评价和语义目标反应的启动效应都会发生。此外，在没有关于启动词的语义知识的情况下，也会出现引发情感的启动词的启动效应。最后，启动效应与启动词和目标词呈现的顺序无关，这表明 AMP 效应是由错误归因而非对目标的有偏差的感知驱动的。综上所述，这些结果支持了一种观点，即 AMP 中的启动效应归因于一种普遍的错误归因机制，该机制可以作用于情感感受或语义概念。
