Emotion for a long time has been thought as the main reason causing the difficulty of changing the prejudice based on stereotypes and ideas of people who hold stereotypes . However , there are few researches discussing directly how emotion regulates expression of implicitly measured stereotypes . The mainstream of the relevant researches so far believes that negative emotion will weaken the expression of implicitly measured stereotypes . Some believes the link between emotion and stereotype activation depends on the relative accessibility of stereotype‐relevant thoughts and response tendencies . In the presence of accessible egalitarian response tendencies or counter‐stereotypic thoughts , people in positive mood show a downward trend in the activation of stereotype .Some researchers employ paradigm of PDP (the process‐dissociation procedure) associated with weapon‐identification task to further investigate the mechanism of the emotion regulating the expression of implicitly measured stereotypes . They hold that the negative Emotion weakens the degree of automatic processes instead of strengthening the controlled processes . The emotion actually regulates the automatic processes of the implicitly measured stereotypes . Another opposite point of view believes that emotion regulates the controlled processes of the implicitly measured stereotypes . Importance should be attached to the aspects of classification of the emotion , the effectiveness of emotion manipulation , and data model analysis to improve the research in the future .%长久以来，情绪被认为是导致以刻板印象为基础的偏见及持有刻板印象的人群的观念之所以冥顽难改的主要原因之一，但直接探讨情绪如何调节内隐刻板印象表达的研究并不多见。迄今为止，相关研究中主流观点认为消极情绪会削弱内隐刻板印象的表达。也有研究提出情绪通过调节观念的可提取性，进而调节由这些观念引发的刻板印象的表达。当平等反应偏向或反刻板观念可提取时，积极情绪状态下的被试表现出刻板印象激活下降的趋向。有研究者采用加工分离程序（PD P ）结合武器识别任务范式进一步探讨了情绪对内隐刻板印象表达的调节机制，认为消极情绪削弱了自动化加工程度，而非增加了控制性加工过程，即情绪调节的是内隐刻板印象的自动化加工过程。另一种与之相反的观点则认为情绪调节的是内隐刻板印象的控制性加工过程。未来研究还需从情绪分类、情绪操纵有效性和数据模型分析等方面加以改进和完善。
