Summary

Individuals with high interest in social relationships did not show longer reaction times to threat words as hypothesized. However, emotional Stroop task interference scores were linked to card presentation order.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • The emotional Stroop task measures cognitive interference.
  • Interest in interpersonal relationships may influence threat word processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test if high interest in interpersonal relationships affects reaction times to social threat words.
  • To investigate the relationship between social interest and cognitive interference.

Main Methods:

  • 40 undergraduate students completed an emotional Stroop task.
  • Participants processed social-related threat words and neutral words.

Main Results:

  • The hypothesis was not supported; no significant difference in latencies was found.
  • A significant association was observed between interference scores and card presentation order.

Conclusions:

  • Interest in interpersonal relationships does not appear to significantly alter threat word processing in this task.
  • The order of stimulus presentation can influence cognitive interference in the emotional Stroop task.
