情绪表达是日常生活的一项基本功能,在某些心理障碍中可能会受到严重影响。以自然语言为基础的程序,旨在测量韵律表达的测量情绪表达的个体差异,但尚未产生强大的组内韵律变化在各种唤起条件下的早期承诺。本报告提供了来自三项独立研究(总N = 464)的数据,这些研究数字记录了受试者对各种刺激的反应。格式和刺激进行了修改,以最大限度地提高韵律表达。我们的研究结果表明,使用唤起幻灯片组织根据一个维度(例如,高和低唤醒-愉快的、不愉快的和中性的效价)或分类的(例如,恐惧、惊讶、快乐)模型在主观状态中产生了稳健的变化,但在韵律表达中仅产生了可忽略的变化。另外,从回忆自传体记忆的讲话导致有意义的变化,在主观状态和韵律表达。心理障碍的研究的影响进行了讨论。(c)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Emotional expression is an essential function for daily life that can be severely affected in some psychological disorders. Laboratory-based procedures designed to measure prosodic expression from natural speech have shown early promise for measuring individual differences in emotional expression but have yet to produce robust within-group prosodic changes across various evocative conditions. This report presents data from three separate studies (total N = 464) that digitally recorded subjects as they verbalized their reactions to various stimuli. Format and stimuli were modified to maximize prosodic expression. Our results suggest that use of evocative slides organized according to either a dimensional (e.g., high and low arousal - pleasant, unpleasant and neutral valence) or categorical (e.g., fear, surprise, happiness) models produced robust changes in subjective state but only negligible change in prosodic expression. Alternatively, speech from the recall of autobiographical memories resulted in meaningful changes in both subjective state and prosodic expression. Implications for the study of psychological disorders are discussed. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
