Project description
We examine which aspects of a situation and/or person are crucial in the elicitation of emotions such as anger, fear, and sadness. Since we assume that emotion-antecedent information processing often occurs automatically, we use experimental tasks suitable for examining automatic processes, such as variants of the sequential priming tas and the Simon Task.
