From SNARC effect to SELF-SNARC effect: Evidence from Chinese character numbers and arabic numbers

Abstract

The presence of the SNARC effect and the SELF-SNARC effect in the processing of various numeric types and how they evolved through representation guidance were investigated through two experiments. The study identified the typical SNARC effect in various numeric types and examined the reversal of the SELF-SNARC effect based on different numeric types and the hypnotic self representation mode. From the perspective of social cognitive semantic conflict and social cognitive reaction conflict, the findings provide a new interpretation of the SELF-SNARC effect. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2014.
