Managing cognitive control is similar to managing an orchestra and sometimes cognitive control and emotions interfere with each other more than we think. This study is interested in emotion-related cognitive control tasks such as Emotional Stroop Tasks (EST). The Discrete Emotions Theory defends that each basic emotion stems from different sources (Ekman et al., 2011). The Motivational Model concentrates on emotions’ motivational instincts: approach or avoidance behavior (Lang et al., 2008). Anger and fear are both negative emotions but anger has approach motivation fear has avoidance. Therefore, to test this situation EST used in two forms: EST with emotionally-loaded words (EST-w) and EST with emotional face pictures (EST-p). PsychoPy 3 was used to set up experiments. Turkish Emotional Word Norms for Arousal, Valence and Discrete Emotion Categories were used for experiment words, images were selected from FACES (Ebner, Riedier, & Lindenberger, 2010). Participants were selected from Çankaya University students who are healthy. For EST-w 32 young adults and for EST-p 41 young adults participated. EST-w had 60 emotion-loaded words. EST-p had 9 different types of stimuli (total 108 stimuli) which were fearful face, angry face, and neutral face (congruent, incongruent). Results supported the evidence of the significant reaction time difference between emotional stimuli and neutral stimuli. In/Congruent anger and in/congruent fear are significantly different from the in/congruent neutral (p≤ 0.05).
