Abstract

To investigate the hypothesis that people in Northern Ireland are using denial to cope with the impact of political violence, a specially designed version of the Stroop test was developed. English students living in Northern Ireland evidenced significantly greater interference on the Violent Stroop compared to either English students living in England or Northern Irish students living in Northern Ireland suggesting that while the Northern Irish natives had habituated to the violence the English students living in Northern Ireland had not yet done so.
