本研究将歧义分为认知歧义和情感歧义，并考察了这两种歧义对本族语为日语和德语的日本人和德语人的跆拳道审美评价的影响。因为跆拳道是世界上最短的诗歌形式，它通常含有歧义，更容易进行文化比较。总体而言，450名说日语的人和373名说德语的人参加了一项在线实验，该实验涉及到对跆拳道诗歌的评估。他们还被要求填写基于个性特征的调查问卷。然后，参与者被要求根据他们对美的感知程度、认知模棱两可、敬畏和怀旧等10个特征对跆拳道进行评分。结果表明，随着认知歧义度的增加，对跆拳道的审美评价也随之降低。这一趋势在德语中比在说日语的人中更明显；这可以用高语境和低语境社会的差异来解释。关于情绪模糊性，本研究关注敬畏和怀旧的高阶情绪，包括积极情绪和负面情绪。研究发现，参与者感受到的这些情绪越强烈，他们对跆拳道的审美评价就越高。这一趋势在说德语的人中比说日语的人更明显；这可能是因为西方人倾向于高度正面地看待敬畏和怀旧情绪。模棱两可，也被称为“沉默之美”，是跆拳道的特征之一，被发现是审美评价中的一个重要因素；然而，这种关系也受到文化差异的影响。
In this study, ambiguity was classified into cognitive and emotional ambiguity, and their effects on the aesthetic evaluation of haiku were examined for native Japanese and German speakers. Because haiku is the shortest form of poetry in the world, it usually contains ambiguity and makes cultural comparison easier. Overall, 450 Japanese and 373 German speakers participated in an online experiment involving the evaluation of haiku poetry. They were also asked to fill out questionnaires based on personality traits. Then, participants were asked to rate a haiku based on 10 characteristics, including the degree to which they perceived beauty, cognitive ambiguity, awe, and nostalgia. Results showed that as cognitive ambiguity increased, the aesthetic evaluation of haiku decreased. This tendency was greater among German than among Japanese speakers; this can be explained by the differences in high-and low-context societies. Regarding emotional ambiguity, this study focused on the higher-order emotions of awe and nostalgia, which encompass both positive and negative emotions. It was found that the greater the participants felt these emotions, the higher was their aesthetic evaluation of haiku. This tendency was greater among German than Japanese speakers; this may be because Westerners tend to perceive awe and nostalgia highly positively. Ambiguity, also known as “the beauty of silence,” is one of the characteristics of haiku and was found to be an important factor in aesthetic evaluation; however, this relationship was also influenced by cultural differences.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
