Gender Differences in Affective Ratings to Neutral Images and Their Relations to Socioemotional Difficulties

Madeline Brodsky

The present study aims to examine the gender differences in the affective ratings of three image types: threat of bodily harm, threat of infection and neutral. However, the negative emotional response to neutral images are investigated further, as a heightened negative response to neutral stimuli could hold implications for socioemotional difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic (in the context of this study) and the risk of psychopathology as a whole.
