Differences in the resolution of emotional and cognitive conflict

A behavioural approach was used to analyse the relations between cognitive and emotional conflict. A modified (i.e., words instead of letters as stimuli) Eriksen flanker task was used. A higher flanker-induced interference (as reflected by higher reactions times) was expected during the emotional th...

A modified (i.e., words instead of letters as stimuli) Eriksen flanker task was used. A higher flanker-induced interference (as reflected by higher reactions times) was expected during the emotional than during the cognitive conflict. This possibility was also analysed by manipulating the instructions and informing a group of subjects on the interfering nature of the flankers. Reaction times were greater during the emotional task and following incongruent stimuli. There was no significant interaction between type of conflict (i.e., emotional or cognitive) and stimuli congruency. These results suggest that, under the present experimental circumstances, there are no differences between the resolution of emotional and cognitive conflict. La resolución de conflicto puramente de tipo cognitivo y de uno con carácter emocional, parece ser de naturaleza distinta. El objetivo del presente estudio consiste en el análisis a nivel comportamental de estas diferencias y de la influencia de la advertencia o no del carácter interferente de los distractores antes de realizar la tarea, así cómo de la congruencia previa. Se utilizó una modificación de la tarea de flancos de Eriksen, presentando palabras en lugar de letras. Se esperaba que la interferencia provocada por  los distractores fuera mayor en el caso del conflicto emocional que en el cognitivo y que los estímulos incongruentes precedidos por un estímulo incongruente facilitara la resolución de conflicto. Los resultados mostraron mayores tiempos de reacción para los estímulos incongruentes y para la tarea de tipo emocional. Sin embargo, no se encontró ningún efecto de las instrucciones ni de la congruencia previa. Estos resultados confirman que se necesitan más recursos cognitivos para resolver un conflicto emocional que uno cognitivo y que, a pesar de ser advertidos de las posibles interferencias, poco se puede hacer para evitarlas.
