In the Emotion field, it is usually assumed that negative information is selected more efficiently than positive information. It is reflected in dot-probe tasks with a higher validity effect for negative information than for positive information.
I was just wondering, when you have a validity effect that is higher in one condition (not necessarely in the Emotion field), does it reflect a selection that is more frequent, or a selection that is stronger ?
If I rephrase, concerning the higher validity effect for negative information, does it mean that negative information are selected in more trials than positive information ? Or that negative and positive information are selected with the same frequency, but that the validity effect is stronger for negative information ?
Thus, the negative and positive information. What is more important to select an adequate solution? It is necessary to consider several factors to answer the question. Firstly, the modality, the intensity and duration of action of a certain factor. Second, the functional state and the individual characteristics of the object (a person, for example), which is exposed to the factor. Finally, we must take into account the peculiarities of the current change factor characteristics in a particular time and space.
