具身情绪下编码状态对情绪词汇再认的影响

The Effect of Encoding State under Embodied Emotion on Emotional Word Recognition

摘要: 实验采用Havas等(2007)的具身情绪启动范式(即通过面部动作启动情绪)，在个体具身情绪启动后，使用“学习–再认”范式，以不同效价的情绪词汇为学习材料，考察具身情绪下编码状态对情绪词语效价再认的影响。比较积极、消极情绪下个体对情绪词汇的再认正确率和和反应时的差异，发现积极编码相对于消极编码对情绪词汇的再认表现出优势(F(2, 33) = 3.656, p < 0.05)，表现为积极编码下反应时更短且正确率更高。同时发现积极词汇相较于中性和消极词汇也对再认表现出优势，具体为积极词汇的反应时更短，且消极词汇和中性词汇在不同编码情绪下存在交互作用(F(1, 32) = 4.696, p < 0.05)。上述结果表明，阈下的具身情绪启动范式是有效的；积极的情绪状态对带有情绪属性的学习材料再认产生了积极影响，表现为反应时更短。

Abstract: The experiment used Havas et al.’s (2007) embodied emotion priming paradigm (i.e., emotion priming through facial actions) to examine the effect of encoding state on the valence of emotion words under embodied emotions using a “learning-recognition” paradigm after individuals’ em-bodied emotion priming, using emotion words of different valence as learning materials. When comparing the correctness and response time of the positive and negative emotions, it was found that positive coding showed an advantage over negative coding in the recognition of emotion words (F(2, 33) = 3.656, p < 0.05), with shorter response time and higher correctness under positive coding. It was also found that positive words also showed an advantage over neutral and negative words for recognition, specifically shorter reaction times for positive words, and that there was an interaction between negative and neutral words across coded emotions (F(1, 32) = 4.696, p < 0.05). These results suggest that the subthreshold embodied emotion priming paradigm is effective; positive emotional states positively influenced the recognition of learned material with emotional attributes, as evidenced by shorter response times.
