Abstract

This study examined the type and extent of interruption between induced emotion and succeeding arithmetic operation. The experiment was carried out to determine the influence of the induced emotions (anger, joy, and sorrow) and stimulus types (picture and sentence) on the cognitive process load that may block the interactions among the constituents of working memory. The study subjects were 32 undergraduates who were similar with respect to age and education parameters and were especially instructed to attend to induced emotion by imitation of facial expression and to make a correct decision during the remainder calculation task. In the results, the stimulus types did not exhibit any difference but there was a significant difference among the induced emotion types. The difference was observed in slower response time at positive emotion(joy condition) as compared with other emotions(anger and sorrow). More specifically, error and delayed correct response rate for emotion types were analysed to determine which phase the slower response was associated with. Delayed responses of the joy condition by sentence-inducing stimulus were identified with the error rate difference, and those by picture-inducing stimulus with the delayed correct response rate. These findings not only suggest that induced positive emotion increased response time compared to negative emotions, but also imply that picture-inducing stimulus easily affords arithmetic fluctuation whereas sentence-inducing stimulus results in arithmetic failure.

본 연구는 유발된 정서가 뒤따르는 수 연산과제에 미치는 간섭현상의 종류와 크기를 확인해 보기 위해 수행되었다. 유발된 정서상태의 유지가 작업기억 요소 간 원활한 수행을 간섭할 수 있는 단계별 인지과제 처리 과정을 통해 자극유형 및 정서의 종류가 기초 연산(fundamental arithmetic operation)과제 수행에 미치는 영향을 알아 보았다. 피험자는 인구학적 변인에서 거의 차이가 없는 균질적인 대학생 집단으로 구성되었으며, 사전 연습시행에서 표정모방을 통해 유발된 정서를 유지하면서 후속되는 연산과제 수행 및 제시되는 답의 정오를 판단하도록 지침을 받았다. 분석결과, 자극유형 간에 간섭의 크기에서는 차이가 없었으나 유발된 정서의 종류 간에는 차이가 발견되었다. 유발된 정서의 시간지연 주효과가 계산과정의 어느 단계에 영향을 주었는지를 알아보기 위해, 자극 유형별로 정서 간 오류율과 지연 정반응률을 구하여 함께 분석하였는데, 긍정정서(기쁨조건)의 시간지연이 문장자극일 때에는 오류율 간 차이로, 그림자극일 때에는 지연 정반응률 간 차이로 나타남을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 유발된 긍정 정서의 영향이 부정정서(분노 및 슬픔 조건)에 비해 계산지연을 확대시키는 방향으로 나타났다는 점 외에 문장자극의 정서유발이 계산실패로 이어지기 쉬운 반면, 그림자극의 정서유발은 계산요동으로 이어지기 쉬운 특성이 있는 것으로 그 주효과의 영향이 분리될 수 있음을 시사한다고 하겠다.
