It is unknown how self-relevance is dependent on emotional salience. Emotional salience encompasses an individual's degree of attraction or aversion to emotionally-valenced information. The current study investigated the interconnection between self and salience through the evaluation of emotional valence and self-relevance. 56 native Dutch participants completed a questionnaire assessing valence, intensity, and self-relevance of 552 Dutch nouns and verbs. One-way repeated-measures ANCOVA investigated the relationship between valence and self, age and gender. Repeated-measures ANCOVA also tested the relationship between valence and self with intensity ratings and effects of gender and age. Results showed a significant main effect of valence for self-relevant words. Intensity analyses showed a main effect of valence but not of self-relevance. There were no significant effects of gender and age. The most important finding presents that self-relevance is dependent on valence. These findings concerning the relationship between self and salience opens avenues to study an individual's self-definition.
自我相关性如何依赖于情绪显著性尚不清楚。情绪显著性包括个体对情绪相关信息的吸引或厌恶程度。本研究通过评估情绪效价和自我相关性来探究自我和显著性之间的联系。56 名荷兰本地参与者完成了一份问卷,评估了 552 个荷兰名词和动词的效价、强度和自我相关性。单向重复测量方差分析调查了效价与自我、年龄和性别之间的关系。重复测量方差分析还测试了效价与自我之间的关系,同时考虑了强度评分以及性别和年龄的影响。结果显示,自我相关词汇的效价存在显著的主效应。强度分析显示出效价的主要影响,但没有自我相关性的影响。性别和年龄没有显著影响。最重要的发现是自我相关性取决于效价。这些关于自我和显著性之间关系的发现为研究个体的自我定义开辟了途径。
