To study the influence of overt behavior on the generation of valenced information participants were induced to perform either approach (arm flexion) or avoidance (arm extension) behaviors while generating the names of celebrities towards whom they had positive, negative, or neutral attitudes. Participants performing arm flexion generated more names of positively evaluated persons while participants performing arm extension tended to generate more names of negatively evaluated persons. Both self-perception and mood are discussed as potential bases for the obtained effect. In the light of our previous results, we suggest an alternative mechanism of compatibility between motor actions and information which implies that fewer cognitive resources are needed for "compatibility" than for "incompatibility."
为了研究公开行为对效价信息生成的影响，参与者在生成他们对其持有积极、消极或中立态度的名人名字时，被诱导执行接近行为（手臂弯曲）或回避行为（手臂伸展）。执行手臂弯曲的参与者生成了更多得到积极评价的人的名字，而执行手臂伸展的参与者倾向于生成更多得到消极评价的人的名字。自我认知和情绪都被作为所获效应的潜在基础进行了讨论。根据我们之前的结果，我们提出了一种运动动作与信息之间兼容性的替代机制，这意味着“兼容”比“不兼容”需要更少的认知资源。
