Humans may be faster to avoid negative words than to approach negative words, and faster to approach positive words than to avoid positive words. That is an example of affective stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility. The present study identified the reference valence effects of affective stimulus-response (S-R) compatibility when auditory stimulus materials are used. The researchers explored the reference valence effects of affective S-R compatibility using a mixed-design experiment based on visual words, visual pictures and audition. The study computed the average compatibility effect size. A t-test based on visual pictures showed that the compatibility effect size was significantly different from zero, t (22) = 2.43, p<.05 (M = 485 ms). Smaller compatibility effects existed when switching the presentation mode from visual stimuli to auditory stimuli. This study serves as an important reference for the auditory reference valence effects of affective S-R compatibility.
人类避免负面词汇可能比接近负面词汇更快，接近正面词汇可能比避免正面词汇更快。这是情感刺激-反应（S-R）兼容性的一个例子。本研究确定了使用听觉刺激材料时情感刺激-反应（S-R）兼容性的参照效价效应。研究人员通过基于视觉词汇、视觉图片和听觉的混合设计实验，探讨了情感S-R兼容性的参照效价效应。该研究计算了平均兼容性效应大小。基于视觉图片的t检验表明，兼容性效应大小显著不同于零，t（22）=2.43，p<0.05（M=485毫秒）。当将呈现模式从视觉刺激切换到听觉刺激时，兼容性效应较小。本研究为情感S-R兼容性的听觉参照效价效应提供了重要参考。
