General discussion The first study conducted by Becker al. (2001) is based on the hypothesis of general emotionality and schema congruence. The supported result was stated that patients with general anxiety disorder have a general attentional bias while patients with social phobia have a selective attentional bias, also known as schema congruence. The second study conducted by Eschenbeck al. (2004) is based on the processing bias theory. According to the result of the experiment, highly anxious children have more Stroop interference and higher error rates during threatening stimuli than other groups in the experiment. The final study that has a strong connection to my study compared to other studies, was conducted by Gilboa-Schechtman et al. (2000). Their study is based on the hypothesis relating to emotionality, mood congruence and the relevance of worries. The result of the study indicated that greater interference in mood congruence and concerns relevant stimuli. There was no obvious interference in emotional stimuli. Therefore, the result supported only two of the three hypotheses. Mood induction procedures influence participants' Stroop task. Overall, putting all these studies together and supporting the main theory, which is that people with general anxiety would have higher Stroop interference and error rates than those with medium and low anxiety. In my study, my partners and I used a similar method from previous study. The big idea of ​​the study is to find the effects of participants' emotional state by performing mood induction and timing reaction time on a Stroop task. However, the result was different. We performed two mood induction procedures on college students: Anxiety and Relaxation. There are ten participants involved in the experiment and we asked them to relive their anxiety experience which can induce their anxiety emotion and then we did the Stroop task. Once finished, they performed the second condition, that is, reliving the relaxation experience that would induce the emotion of relaxation, and performed the Stroop task again, identical to the first part. After completing the study, my partners and I collected the data and found that the outcome was different than we had hypothesized. Relaxing mood induction has greater Stroop interference than anxious mood induction. We believe this is due to biases in the experiment, such as translation into American Sign Language, color blindness, misunderstanding the meaning of anxiety, and the reading level of deaf participants..
