Abstract: This study try to explore the impact of automatic expressive suppression on the sensitivity of emotion perception under positive or negative emotion. It uses signal detection theory to get the emotion perception sensitivity, and designs the sentence unscrambling task to manipulate automatic emotion regulation. We tested 103 college students in Formal Experiment. The experimental results show that participants who primed with automatic expressive suppression report less emotion experience than participants primed with emotion expression. In the socio-culture backgrounds of china, people tend to inhibit the expression of negative emotions, rather than control the positive feelings. Emotion sensitivity partially shows the effects of emotional coherence. In negative emotional state, people are more sensitive to negative emotional expression, it’s significant; although in positive emotional state, people are more sensitive to positive emotional expression, although. The prime of automatic expressive suppression will affect the effects of emotional coherence of emotion sensitivity. People who primed with automatic expressive suppression are not sensitive to positive or negative facial expression.

Key words: automatic expressive suppression, emotion perception sensitivity, negative or positive emotion, mood congruent effect

摘要: 以103名大学生为对象,在正性、负性两种情绪状态下,用句子整理任务引发被试抑制情绪或表达情绪两种情绪调节方式,采用信号检测论测得正、负性表情的表情知觉敏感性。结果表明:(1)表情知觉敏感性存在情绪一致性效应,在负性情绪状态下,人们对负性表情更敏感,差异显著(p=0.002);在正性情绪状态下,人们对正性表情更敏感,虽然只是边缘显著(p=0.700)。(2)自动抑制情绪会降低人们的情绪体验,并且会影响表情知觉敏感性的情绪一致性效应。在自动抑制启动的状态下,人们对正、负性表情都不太敏感。
