Using a new method of affect priming, we find that a face with an angry expression slows a participant's performance; that is, we find anger inferiority. Our task presents a participant with a sequence of 2 visual stimuli. The first stimulus (Sl) and the second stimulus (S2) represent anger or happiness. The S1 s were words, schematic faces, or gray-scale faces, and the S2s were gray-scale faces. Participants performed an affect congruency task, judging whether S1 and S2 represent the same emotion. With standard affective priming, using identical stimulus param- eters, superior performance is found when S1 and S2 represent the same affect. With our task, comparing the 2 stimuli results in anger inferiority. With both congruent and incongruent S1 and S2 the response times depend more strongly on the affect of S1 rather than that of S2. An angry S1 produced longer decision times and more errors than a happy S1.

对情绪做出反应：愤怒被捕和幸福得到帮助。

使用一种新的情绪启动方法，我们发现表情生气的人会减慢参与者的表现。也就是说，我们发现愤怒自卑。我们的任务为参与者提供2个视觉刺激序列。第一刺激（S1）和第二刺激（S2）代表愤怒或幸福。S1是单词，示意图面或灰度面，而S2是灰度面。参与者执行情感一致性任务，判断S1和S2是否代表相同的情感。对于标准的情感启动，使用相同的刺激参数，当S1和S2代表相同的效果时，会发现性能优越。对于我们的任务，比较这两种刺激会导致愤怒自卑。在S1和S2完全一致和不一致的情况下，响应时间更多地取决于S1的影响，而不是S2的影响。
