Attentional Bias for Exercise-Related Images
Berry, Tanya R.; Spence, John C.; Stolp, Sean M.
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v82 n2 p302-309 Jun 2011
This research examined attentional bias toward exercise-related images using a visual probe task. It was hypothesized that more-active participants would display attentional bias toward the exercise-related images. The results showed that men displayed attentional bias for the exercise images. There was a significant interaction of activity level by gender, and simple slopes analysis showed that active women displayed attentional bias toward the exercise-related images and inactive women displayed attentional bias toward the control images. A similar analysis with explicit attention to the pictures as the outcome variable was not significant. These findings confirm that attention for exercise-related images can be captured automatically regardless of whether people report they are attending to them. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)
