“…Other research reveals that this dimension could also have important judgmental and behavioral consequences. For instance, Wentura and colleagues have demonstrated that behavioral approach or avoidance is far more marked for traits having implications for the person who is interacting with the trait holder and that reactions to other-relevant stimuli are better predictors of prejudice and discrimination toward specific outgroups (e.g., Turks for German participants; Degner & Wentura, 2011;Degner, Wentura, Gniewosz, & Noack, 2007). These findings thus indicate that possessor-versus other-relevance of trait words is a dimension of great interest in order to further understand people's reactions to emotional stimuli.…”

Emotional norms for 524 French personality trait words

et al. 2012

Newly measured rating norms provide a database of emotion-related dimensions for 524 French trait words. Measures include valence, approach/avoidance tendencies associated with the trait, possessor-and other-relevance of the trait, and discrete emotions conveyed by the trait (i.e., anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness). The normative data were obtained from 328 participants and were revealed to be stable across samples and gender. These data go beyond a dimensional structure and consider more fine-grained descriptions such as the categorical emotions, as well as the perspective of the evaluator conveyed by the traits. They should thus be particularly useful for researchers interested in emotion or in the emotional dimension of cognition, action, or personality. The database is available as supplementary material.

“…For instance, inter-individual differences in the ability to suppress irrelevant Furthermore, it is of considerable interest to explore what procedural features facilitate or hamper strategic manipulation of affective priming effects. The most straightforward way of preventing participants from intentional faking is to avoid them having any faking intentions, either by using a clever cover story that draws attention away of the true purpose of the study (e.g., Fazio, Jackson, Dunton, & Williams, 1995) or by preventing conscious processing of the prime stimulus (e.g., by masking it; see Draine & Greenwald, 1998;Degner, Wentura, Gniewosz, & Noack, 2007). Another possibility could be the inclusion of a secondary task as mentioned above.…”

On the (un-)controllability of affective priming: Strategic manipulation is feasible but can possibly be prevented

Three studies are presented that explored if and to what extent affective priming effects in a standard affective priming paradigm are susceptible to voluntary control. Specifically, it was tested whether participants were able to eliminate or amplify affective priming effects when instructed to do so. In Experiment 1, it was shown that participants were successful in implementing manipulation instructions to decrease or eliminate the effect. Experiment 2 showed that such manipulation attempts succeeded in the opposite direction too, with participants voluntarily enhancing priming effects. Furthermore, it was shown that such manipulation effects could only partly be prevented by shortening duration of prime presentation and stimulus onset asynchrony between prime and target. The first two studies thus proved the susceptibility of the affective priming paradigm to spontaneous and strategic manipulation intentions of participants. However, when a moderate time pressure was induced by implementing a response deadline in Experiment 3, manipulation efforts failed. Implications of these results for the application of the affective priming paradigm in attitude research, specifically in socially sensitive domains, are discussed.

“…Consistent with this hypothesis, other-relevant trait adjectives (such as ruthless, malignant, and aggressive) were found to be more attention grabbing than self-relevant trait adjectives (such as miserable, desperate, and helpless) in a working-memory paradigm (Buchner, Rothermund, Wentura, & Mehl, 2004). The influence of other-versus-self relevance on cognitive-emotional processing has also been demonstrated in other paradigms (Degner & Wentura, 2011;Degner, Wentura, Gniewosz, & Noack, 2007;Wentura & Degner, 2010;Wentura, Kulfanek, & Greve, 2005;Wentura et al, 2000). The influence of other-versus-self relevance on memory is less well documented (see Li, Li, & Guo, 2009, for an exception), but pronounced effects are to be expected based on a functional perspective.…”

Partial and specific source memory for faces associated to other- and self-relevant negative contexts

Previous research has shown a source memory advantage for faces presented in negative contexts. As yet it remains unclear whether participants remember the specific type of context in which the faces were presented or whether they can only remember that the face was associated with negative valence. In the present study, participants saw faces together with descriptions of two different types of negative behaviour and neutral behaviour. In Experiment 1, we examined whether the participants were able to discriminate between two types of other-relevant negative context information (cheating and disgusting behaviour) in a source memory test. In Experiment 2, we assessed source memory for other-relevant negative (threatening) context information (other-aggressive behaviour) and self-relevant negative context information (self-aggressive behaviour). A multinomial source memory model was used to separately assess partial source memory for the negative valence of the behaviour and specific source memory for the particular type of negative context the face was associated with. In Experiment 1, source memory was specific for the particular type of negative context presented (i.e., cheating or disgusting behaviour). Experiment 2 showed that source memory for other-relevant negative information was more specific than source memory for self-relevant information. Thus, emotional source memory may vary in specificity depending on the degree to which the negative emotional context is perceived as threatening.
