Abstract: In order to measure students' gender-emotional stereotypes and analyze the relationship between implicit and explicit test, 280 undergraduates participated in explicit connection task and 87 undergraduates participated in implicit association test. The results showed that:in both implicit and explicit tests, male and female college students both have gender-emotional stereotypes and the male's names were linked much more with angry words, female's names were associated much more with happy words; The differences between the degrees of male and female college students' gender-emotional stereotypes were extremely significant, the female show more obviously bias that "male are more likely to be angry, female are more likely to be happy"; There was no significant correlation between explicit and implicit gender-emotional stereotypes, they belong to two different constructions.

Key words: undergraduates, gender-emotional stereotypes, Implicit Association Test, Explicit Test
