Emotional Stroop Test analysis Name: Institutional affiliation: Emotional Stroop Test analysis Stroop test data analysis using simple paired samples test Stroop test may occur through the use of a paper version with words that contain the names of colors in the native language of the participant. The language may be English, German and French depending on the geographic origin of an individual (OpenLearn, 2011). The letters of each word appear printed in an ink color that contains different colors compared to the name of the word the letter represents. The participant should respond quickly with the color ink seen, while inhibiting the printed word. The task proves to be difficult for individuals who participate in it. It increases fatigue in individuals. The main goal of the test focuses on the aspect of helping individuals to restore their mental vitality for the purpose of emotional healing (Eysenck & Keane, 2010). Correlation between the emotional and neutral conditions The Stroop test causes impulsivity and irritability resulting into regrettable and thoughtless behavior that has a relation to impatience (Phaf & Kan, 2007). In such a case, the participants make poor decisions and have distractibility that influences them to be affected by their environment in terms of making their decisions in a magnified manner. According to research, directed attention acts as finite mental resource and proves to be scarce (McLeod et al., 1986). When placed under continual demand, our ability to direct the focus of our thoughts tires, resulting in a condition called directed attention fatigue. This condition reduces our overall mental effectiveness and makes consideration of abstract concepts and long-term goals difficult (Young, 2004). Directed attention has room for many pro-environmental and pro-social behaviors. It enables individuals to focus on important goals despite the aspect of completion on the near setting (Coolican, 2014). People use their ability to direct attention to enable them balance their emotions for the purpose of achieving their environmental stewardship. References Coolican, H. (2014).
