Abstract

Three experiments were conducted to explore the interaction of personal pronoun (e.g. 'I' and 'you') and emotional evaluation (e.g. positive and negative) using time-course (e.g. SOA 500-1000ms) and multi-task approaches (e.g. lexical decision task and primed naming task). In Experiment 1, Participants were presented personal pronoun as primes at SOA 1000ms and were asked to response emotional words which were differed in emotional attributes. The results showed that the interaction effects of personal pronoun and emotional words were found. In Experiment 2, Participants were presented personal pronoun as primes at SOA 1000ms and were asked to response emotional words which were differed in emotional attributes. The results showed that no effects were found. In Experiment 3, Participants were presented personal pronoun as primes at SOA 500ms and were asked to pronounce emotional words which were differed in emotional attributes. The results showed that the interaction of personal pronoun and emotional words were found. The results of 3 experiments were discussed from a point of view of dynamic processes of social cognition.

인칭 대명사의 '나'와 '너'가 긍정과 부정의 정서적 평가에 미치는 효과를 세 개의 실험에서 관찰하였다. 실험 1은 인칭 대명사를 점화하여 정서 단어의 반응이 어휘판단과제에 작용하는 과정을 SOA 1000ms에서 관찰하였다. 인칭 대명사와 정서 단어의 주효과만 관찰되었다. 실험 2는 SOA 1000ms에서 두 변인의 효과를 명명과제를 적용하여 관찰하였다. 변인들의 어떤 효과도 관찰되지 않았다. 실험 3은 SOA 500ms에서 명명과제를 적용하였다. 그 결과 두 변인의 상호작용이 관찰되었다. 세 실험은 인칭 대명사 '나'와 '너'의 평가적 표상이 과제의 특성에 따라 매우 역동적일 가능성을 보였다. 이들 결과를 사회 인지이론으로 논의하였다.
