“…The reorganization of the mental lexicon indicates that the affective meanings of words would be reconfigured by the evaluative conditioning. Evaluative conditioning affects the lexical access of words (Kuchinke and Mueller 2019 ) because lexical access is faster to affective than neutral words (Kissler and Herbert 2013 ). The effects of evaluative conditioning were higher for the supraliminal (conscious) than for the subliminal (unconscious) presentation of UCS (US) and for self-report than for implicit methods (Hofmann et al 2010 ).…”

This study aimed to examine whether Japanese participants condition spoken words’ meanings to written pseudowords. In Survey 1, we selected spoken words associated with negative (α = .91) and positive (α = .79) features for Experiment 1 and passive (α = .90) and active (α = .80) features for Experiment 2. In Experiment 1, participants evaluated four written pseudowords’ emotional valence using a 7-point semantic differential scale (1: negative; 7: positive) before and after conditioning spoken words with negative, neutral, or positive features to each pseudoword. In the conditioning phase, participants read each pseudoword, listened to a spoken word, and verbally repeated each spoken word. The results showed that a pseudoword was conditioned to spoken words with positive and negative features. In Experiment 2, participants evaluated four pseudowords’ activeness using a 7-point semantic differential scale (1: passive; 7: active) before and after conditioning spoken words of passive, neutral, and active features to each written pseudoword. In the conditioning phase, the participants read each written pseudoword, listened to a spoken word, and repeated the spoken word. The results showed that the activeness evaluations were more increased for pseudowords conditioned to spoken words of active and neutral features after conditioning than before conditioning but were unchanged for a pseudoword conditioned to those with passive features before and after conditioning. Additonally, Survey 2’s results showed that although the positiveness and activeness responses of the words used in Experiments 1 and 2 were controlled well, the lack of significant differences among positiveness responses of words may influence the evaluative conditioning in Experiment 2. That is, when participants condition passive (low arousal) words’ activeness (arousal) ratings to those of pseudowords, words’ positiveness (valence) ratings would be important in the evaluative conditioning. Our findings suggest that participants can condition spoken word meanings of preference and activeness to those of written pseudowords. It also indicates that linguistically evaluative conditioning’s effects are robust in a non-alphabetic language.

“…One way to resolve this query could involve measurement of affect-associated neural components following the presentation of White or Black targets post reward frustration (Yu et al, 2014). Response topographies associated with affect can be detected neurally before they can be deliberately modulated (e.g., Amd & Baillet, 2019;Amd & Roche, 2017;Kuchinke & Mueller, 2019). The extent to which the present effects were moderated by self-control per se remains to be seen in a future work.…”

Reward Omissions Variably Augment Racial Bias along Political Ideology

Humans tend to become angry whenever a reward they were expecting is 'unfairly' taken away. We presently tested whether situational anger induced by unfair reward omissions may influence (pre-existing) racial biases across self-identified Liberals (n = 119) and Conservatives (n = 115). In the study, participants were exposed to a frustration induction task (or a control variant), followed by implicit and explicit evaluations of White and Black male targets. Frustrated Conservatives were more likely to exhibit implicit anti-Black bias relative to non-frustrated Conservatives, but not significantly so (p's > .2). Frustrated Liberals became significantly anti-White relative to both non-frustrated Liberals and Frustrated Conservatives (p's < .006). Both Liberals and Conservatives became equally angered following reward omissions, but only the former became significantly anti-White. The present work highlights Liberals are more likely to exhibit frustration-augmented racial bias relative to Conservatives.

“…For the P1, some studies find larger amplitudes for negative compared to neutral words (Zhang et al 2014;Keuper et al 2014; only in males: Sass et al 2010), while other studies report a decreased P1 amplitudes for negative compared to neutral words (Gibbons et al 2023; only in high-frequent words: Scott et al 2009), and most studies do not find statistical differences (Herbert et al 2008;Frühholz et al 2011;Palazova et al 2011;Bayer et al 2012aBayer et al , 2012bSchindler et al 2018;Kuchinke and Mueller 2019;Wang et al 2019). For the N1, more frequently larger N1 amplitudes for negative words are observed (Hofmann et al 2009;Kissler and Herbert 2013b;Zhang et al 2014;Fraga et al 2021).…”

Negative emotional content is prioritized across different stages of information processing as reflected by different components of the event-related potential (ERPs). In this preregistered study (N = 40), we investigated how varying the attentional focus allows us to dissociate the involvement of specific ERP components in the processing of negative and neutral words. Participants had to discriminate the orientation of lines overlaid onto the words, the word type (adjective/noun), or the emotional content (negative/neutral). Thus, attention was either not focused on words (distraction task), non-emotional aspects, or the emotional relevance of words. Regardless of the task, there were no significant differences between negative and neutral words for the P1, N1, or P2 components. In contrast, interactions between emotion and task were observed for the Early Posterior Negativity (EPN) and Late Positive Potential (LPP). EPN differences were absent during the distraction task but were present in the other two tasks. LPP emotion differences were found only when attention was directed to the emotional content of words. Our study adds to the evidence that early ERP components do not reliably separate negative and neutral words. However, results show that mid-latency and late stages of emotion processing are separable by different attention tasks. The EPN represents a stage of attentional enhancement of negative words given sufficient attentional resources. Differential activations during the LPP stage are associated with more elaborative processing of emotional meaning of words.
