Abstract
nil lcrences in personality traits lead to varied reactions to emotional judgments (Golim & CMorc. 2000). It was investigated whether higher levels of emotional clarity, intensity, and attention improve emotional reaction times and accuracy. Participants reacted to sounds by indicating the presence and description of emotions. Participants completed personality scales to determine individual levels of traits. It was found that higher ratings for any trait were related to accuracy. Faster participants were more accurate in their responses and increasingly so when possessing higher clarity. This group also had increased levels of intensity and attention. For those slower, attention was correlated with accuracy. Those able to identify an emotion quickly were more accurate in emotional Judgments.
