To recognize the facial expressions of others is important for one's social adjustment. In this study, we examined the effects of internal working models of attachment (“anxiety” and “avoidance”) on emotional cognition of facial expressions. Participants were 105 undergraduates. Pictures of a face were used as prime stimuli and emotional words were used as target stimuli. Participants were required to judge whether following emotions were expressed or not in preceding pictures of a face. The results of this experiment indicated that (a) participants were almost able to recognize the existence of emotions which were expressed in preceding pictures and absence of emotions which were not expressed, and (b) when pictures of an other-oriented negative face (e.g., anger, disgust) were presented, participants who were high in “anxiety” and “avoidance” tend to misread self-oriented negative emotions (e.g., sadness). These results indicated that the internal working models of attachment would bias emotional cognition of facial expressions.
