| description | The present study aimed to validate a Spanish-word database that elicits different levels of emotional response. To control subjects’ engagement to the stimuli, an emotional Stroop task was administered to Spanish-speaking population. In order to assess to which extent valence and emotionality are automatically processed when reading a word, participants’ reaction time was recorded as a complement of their electrodermal response. These measurements were used to rank the words into two different lists, conforming the set of Spanish-words. The reaction time to negative words were only significantly slower to reaction times of positive ones (and not to the neutral ones). We found that words with a negative emotional content elicited higher skin conductance responses (SCR) and longer reaction time than those with neutral and positive emotional content. These findings are consistent with previous literature and therefore supports word’s emotionality of the implemented database. l; Emoción, Stroop emocional; Conductancia de la piel; Población hispano-hablante. |

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo validar una base de palabras en español que elicitaran diferentes niveles de respuesta emocional. Para controlar el compromiso de los sujetos con los estímulos, se administró una tarea de Stroop emocional a una población de hispanohablantes nativos. Se midió el tiempo de reacción y la respuesta electrodérmica de los sujetos. Posterior al experimento se interrogó a los participantes por la valencia emocional de cada estímulo evaluado. Finalmente, estas medidas se utilizaron para jerarquizar las palabras en dos listas, elaborando una base final de 30 palabras en español. Se encontró que las palabras con valencia negativa elicitaron mayores respuestas de conductancia de la piel y tiempos de reacción más lentos en comparación con las palabras de valencia neutra y positiva. Estos datos son consistentes con los reportados por la literatura y, por lo tanto, respaldan la emocionalidad elicitada por las palabras de la base implementada.
