Priming

In order to study the effects of subliminal stimuli, researchers will often prime the participants with specific stimuli and determine if those stimuli elicit different responses. One study was interested in fear stimuli compared to other negative emotional stimuli. This study found that when participants were primed with fear stimuli compared to happy stimuli, the target was rated as more unpleasant by participants primed with the fear stimuli. Also, when primed with fear and disgust subliminal stimuli, the participants rated the target as being less genuine. This study found significant differences in the types of ratings based on the type of subliminal stimuli the participants were primed with..^[1]

Another study exhibited similar findings in that cognitive functions can be affected by subliminal cognitive effects, especially due to emotion. When primed with a subliminal angry face, participants appraised negative events as due to other people, and when primed with a sad face, participants appraised the same events as due to the situation.^[2]

A third study looked at whether or not subliminal exposure to sexual stimuli would affect men and women in the same way. Results indicate that both men and women had an increase in sex-related thoughts due to the stimuli. However, the subliminal sexual prime had no effect on men in their report of sexual arousal, whereas women reported lower levels of sexual arousal.^[3]
