It is unknown how self-relevance is dependent on emotional salience. Emotional salience encompasses an individual's degree of attraction or aversion to emotionally-valenced information. The current study investigated the interconnection between self and salience through the evaluation of emotional valence and self-relevance. 56 native Dutch participants completed a questionnaire assessing valence, intensity, and self-relevance of 552 Dutch nouns and verbs. One-way repeated-measures ANCOVA investigated the relationship between valence and self, age and gender. Repeated-measures ANCOVA also tested the relationship between valence and self with intensity ratings and effects of gender and age. Results showed a significant main effect of valence for self-relevant words. Intensity analyses showed a main effect of valence but not of self-relevance. There were no significant effects of gender and age. The most important finding presents that self-relevance is dependent on valence. These findings concerning the relationship between self and salience opens avenues to study an individual's self-definition.

目前尚不清楚自我相关性如何依赖于情绪显着性。情绪显着性包括个人对情绪化信息的吸引力或厌恶程度。目前的研究通过评估情绪效价和自我相关性来调查自我和显着性之间的相互联系。56 名荷兰本土参与者完成了一份问卷，评估了 552 个荷兰名词和动词的效价、强度和自我相关性。单向重复测量 ANCOVA 调查了效价与自我、年龄和性别之间的关系。重复测量 ANCOVA 还测试了效价与自我之间的关系以及强度等级以及性别和年龄的影响。结果表明，效价对自相关词有显着的主效应。强度分析显示了效价的主要影响，而不是自我相关性的主要影响。性别和年龄没有显着影响。最重要的发现表明，自我相关性取决于化合价。这些关于自我和显着性之间关系的发现为研究个人的自我定义开辟了道路。
