Implicit self and affect regulation: effects of action orientation and subliminal self priming in an affective priming task.

Abstract

Two studies examined the impact of subliminal self-activation on affect regulation among action- versus state-oriented individuals. Action orientation is a regulatory mode characterized by decisiveness and initiative, whereas state orientation is a regulatory mode characterized by indecisiveness and hesitation. According to the model of intuitive affect regulation (Koole & Kuhl, in press), action-oriented individuals have stronger associations between the implicit self and affect regulation systems than state-oriented individuals. This prediction was tested in an affective priming task (Fazio, Sanbonmatsu, Powell, & Kardes, 1986 Fazio, R. H., Sanbonmatsu, D. M., Powell, M. C. and Kardes, F. R. 1986. On the automatic evaluation of attitudes. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 50: 229–238. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). As expected, subliminal self primes triggered down-regulation of negative affect among action-oriented participants. By contrast, subliminal self primes triggered persistence of negative affect among state-oriented participants. Supraliminal self primes had no parallel effects. The implicit self may thus play a key role in affect regulation and volitional action control.

  • Affect-regulatory processes may become associated with the self.

    “affect-regulatory processes may become associated with the self (Kuhl, 2000; Koole and Coenen, 2007).”

    From Synchrony in Psychotherapy: A Review and an Integrative Framework for the Therapeutic Alliance (2016) · cites this paper as Koole and Coenen, 2007

    The available passages are a title and bibliographic metadata, not substantive text about whether affect-regulatory processes become associated with the self. Searches for that phrase and for self-priming and affect regulation returned no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
