Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

While implicit measures have gained importance over the last twenty years or so, no implicit measure of distinct emotions has been developed to date. Based on the procedure of the Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test, the present project aimed to develop a measure to indirectly assess the distinct emotions happiness, fear, sadness, and anger, the IPANAT for Distinct Emotions (IPANAT-DE). With this research we provided evidence for reliability and factorial validity of the IPANAT-DE. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis supported the hypothesized four-factor structure. Moreover, we were able to validate the IPANAT with a number of studies. Specifically, we found that the induction of negative affect via terror primes led to increases in implicit but not explicit negative affect. Moreover, relationships between implicit (but not explicit) negative affect with analytical processing, and relationships between implicit (but not explicit) positive affect with holistic processing were found in individuals with low affect regulation abilities. The present findings therefore support suitability of the IPANAT-DE to measure separate implicit emotions and validate the IPANAT with respect to its potential to measure non-conscious affect.
