| summary | The current presentation aims to show that the impact of affective cues on
people’s feelings, judgments and decisions is contingent upon the availability of
cognitive resources. Humans can only process a limited amount of information
at a time. This limita
tion not only applies to the processing of neutral
information but also to the processing of affective information, such that neutral
and affective information may compete over the same cognitive resources.
Accordingly, affective cues should less likely im
pact people’s mental states and
behaviors when cognitive load of a neutral task increases. Both
neuropsychological and behavioral research findings will be presented that
demonstrate how increasing task load reduces the impact of affective cues on
various
(social) psychological processes, such as emotion regulation, self
-
control and moral judgments. As such, the current research aims to contribute to
a better understanding of the conditions under which people are influenced by
affective cues from their envi
ronment. During the presentation, limitations and
implications
of a ‘limited resourc
es account
of affective processing will be
addressed. |
