情感可以通过多种不同的方式来传达。然而，一个经常被忽视的沟通渠道是姿势。最近的研究表明，身体姿势在情绪感知中起着重要作用。然而，检查情绪姿势交流的研究受到经过验证的情绪姿势的多样性以及类别和维度评级的未知凝聚力的限制。本研究解决了这些局限性。具体来说，我们检查了个体的 (1) 描述 5 种离散情绪（快乐、悲伤、恐惧、愤怒和厌恶）的情绪姿势分类，(2) 描述相同离散情绪的不同姿势的分类，以及 (3) 每个情绪姿势的效价和唤醒度评级。调查结果显示，参与者成功地将每种姿势归类为目标情绪，包括厌恶。此外，参与者准确地识别了每个情绪类别中的多个不同姿势。除了分类反应之外，效价和唤醒度的维度评级还揭示了情绪类别之间和内部有趣的重叠和区别。这些发现提供了可识别的厌恶姿势的第一个证据，并通过在情感类别中包含不同的姿势来实例化情感交流的平等原则。此外，维度评级证实了分类数据，并为未来的研究人员在检查如何感知不同的情绪姿势时考虑提供了进一步的粒度。
Emotion can be communicated through multiple distinct modalities. However, an often-ignored channel of communication is posture. Recent research indicates that bodily posture plays an important role in the perception of emotion. However, research examining postural communication of emotion is limited by the variety of validated emotion poses and unknown cohesion of categorical and dimensional ratings. The present study addressed these limitations. Specifically, we examined individuals’ (1) categorization of emotion postures depicting 5 discrete emotions (joy, sadness, fear, anger, and disgust), (2) categorization of different poses depicting the same discrete emotion, and (3) ratings of valence and arousal for each emotion pose. Findings revealed that participants successfully categorized each posture as the target emotion, including disgust. Moreover, participants accurately identified multiple distinct poses within each emotion category. In addition to the categorical responses, dimensional ratings of valence and arousal revealed interesting overlap and distinctions between and within emotion categories. These findings provide the first evidence of an identifiable posture for disgust and instantiate the principle of equifinality of emotional communication through the inclusion of distinct poses within emotion categories. Additionally, the dimensional ratings corroborated the categorical data and provide further granularity for future researchers to consider in examining how distinct emotion poses are perceived.
