Barbara Gawda and Ewa Szepietowska

Abstract

Many factors such as intelligence, age, education, and sex may have an important influence on verbal fluency according to literature. The aim of this study is to examine the possible impact of the emotional schemata associated with sex differences on verbal fluency performances. Four tasks of verbal fluency were used in this study: two tasks of semantic verbal fluency (Animals, Vehicles) and two tasks of affective verbal fluency (PleasantJoy, Unpleasant-Fear).

Keywords
