Mechanisms underlying approach-avoidance instruction effects on implicit evaluation: Results of a preregistered adversarial collaboration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Experimental Social Psychology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jesp.2016.10.004
Abstract: Abstract Previous research demonstrated that mere instructions to approach one stimulus and avoid another stimulus result in an implicit preference for the to-be-approached over the to-be-avoided stimulus. To investigate the mechanisms underlying approach-avoidance (AA) instruction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2017.07.010
Abstract: Anxiety is linked to increased avoidance and inhibition, whereas depression is linked to decreased approach and diminished behavioral activation. Although these notions are widely recognized, systematic investigation of approach-avoidance tendencies is lacking across these diagnostic… read more here.
