Research done in affective priming paradigm shows that implicit affect influences explicit judgments. The article presents the results of series of studies referring to the following question: what are the factors that reduce the influence of implicit affect on evaluation. The hypothesis predicted that diffuse influence of nonspecific affect is reduced in conditions of reflective concentration on Self. The results of three studies have shown that the influence of implicit affective stimuli on evaluation of explicit neutral stimuli was smaller in the conditions of former reflective concentration on Self than in control conditions. The results of two further suggest the necessity of modification of the hypothesis. Although in the first study it turned out that the influence of affect was stronger in the conditions of non-reflective concentration of Self, in the second one it turned out that in the conditions of reflective concentration not referring to Self, the influence of implicit affect was weaker. It suggests that reducing the influence of affect on evaluation is connected with a nonspecific activation of reflective system of evaluation rather than with the reflective concentration on Self
