Emotion word processing: evidence from electrophysiology, eye movements and decision making
… of confusion currently exists regarding how the emotionality of a textual stimulus influences its processing. Despite a wealth of research recently being conducted in the area, heterogeneity of stimuli used and methodologies utilized prevented general conclusion from being confidently drawn. This …

Emotion Word Processing and Previous Exposure to Violent Media: An Eye-Tracking Study
… containing either a nonviolent, neutral critical word or a violent, negatively valenced critical word. Aspects of their reading behavior was examined to test the hypothesis that participants with higher exposure to violent media would significantly differ from participants with lower exposure to …

Bad moods and attitudes: Neural correlates of state and trait negative affect
… was measured by fMRI during performance of an emotion-word Stroop task. Trait negative affect was associated with reduced activity in areas involved in top-down, goal-directed attentional control. In contrast, state negative affect was associated with more activity in regions involved in …

When friends fight: Relationships between language use, friendship quality, and gender when recalling interpersonal conflict
… language use, such as the use of pronouns or emotion words, can provide critical insight into our thoughts and feelings (Biessen, Schooler, & Smith, 2016; Fitzsimmons & Kay, 2004; Frost, 2013; Gilbert & Karahalios, 2009). Gender has also been shown to influence how relationship conflict is …

Additive and Interactive Effects of Comorbidity During Emotion Processing
… measured by fMRI while individuals performed an emotion-word Stroop task. As predicted, brain activation distinguished anxious groups in a left inferior frontal region associated with speech production and in a right-hemisphere temporal area. A second hypothesis about left-frontal involvement in …

The development of children's interpretation of emotion in music
The relationship between music and emotion is complex, and has defied explanation for a great many years. The present study addressed one particular aspect of this issue: to what extent can young children interpret the emotions expressed in short musical excerpts drawn from larger works, and how do …

I Can See What You Are Feeling, but Can I Feel It? Physiological Linkage while Viewing Communication of Emotion via Touch
Past research has demonstrated that emotions can accurately be communicated via touch (e.g., Hertenstein, Keltner, App, Bulleit, and Jaskolka, 2006). In stranger female dyads, physiological linkage plays a role in the mechanism whereby this successful communication occurs, as touch strengthens and …

Cognitive Control as a Function of Anger Expression Style: A Combined ERP and fMRI Investigation
Although models of emotion and motivation have focused on the relationship between anger and approach motivation associated with aggression (anger-out), anger is also related to withdrawal motivation (anger-in). Both anger styles are associated with psychopathology but could involve different …

Physiological Linkage and Communication of Emotion via Touch
… research has demonstrated that communication of emotion via touch is possible and occurs well-above chance levels, though the potential mechanism whereby this occurs has yet to be determined. The current study aimed to determine if physiological linkage, or the synchrony between various …

Adult Attachment and Emotion Identification: A Cognitive Evaluation
… vital role in human development, communication, emotion recognition and comprehension, and the development of appropriate mental representations of emotional experiences (Denham et al., 2002; Greg & Howe, 2001; Raikes & Thompson, 2006). Because attachment is considered a somewhat stable trait, it …

Neural Mechanisms Involved in Emotion /Attention Interactions
Although it is well-established that emotional context modulates attention and that this modulation varies across different types of clinical groups, the exact mechanisms involved remain unclear. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), amygdala, dorsal (dACC), and rostral (rACC) anterior cingulate …
