A Emotional facial expressions and the attentional blink

BRIEF REPORT Emotional facial expressions and the attentional blink: Attenuated blink for angry and happy faces irrespective of social anxiety Peter J. de Jong University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Ernst H. W. Koster University of Ghent, Ghent, Belgium Rineke van Wees and Sander Martens University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Although facial information is distributed over spatial as well as temporal domains, thus far research on selective attention to disapproving faces has concentrated predominantly on the spatial domain. This study examined the temporal characteristics of visual attention towards facial expressions by presenting a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) paradigm to high (n33) and low (n34) socially anxious women. Neutral letter stimuli (p, q, d, b) were presented as the first target (T1), and emotional faces (neutral, happy, angry) as the second target (T2). Irrespective of social anxiety, the attentional blink was attenuated for emotional faces. Emotional faces as T2 did not influence identification accuracy of a preceding (neutral) target. The relatively low threshold for the (explicit) identification of emotional expressions is consistent with the view that emotional facial expressions are processed relatively efficiently. Keywords: Attentional bias; Temporal attention; Social phobia; Facial expressions; Attentional blink; Emotional expressions.
