Abstract
192 participants (68: oral contraceptives; 124: without hormonal contraception) filled in a battery of questionnaires and completed the Emotional Stroop Task in a computerized version. In women taking anti-androgenic oral contraceptives, the higher the level of anxiety, the longer the reaction time towards emotional stimuli, whether fear-related, positive or negative.
