Abstract

This article aims to obtain a set of erotic and gory pictures from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) for use in studies across India. Additionally, it compares the ratings of a representative Indian sample with North American norms. Using the Self-assessment Manikin, adult Indian participants rated 72 arousal-matched IAPS pictures on emotional dimensions of arousal, valence and dominance. The ratings of the Indian and North American samples for valence were similar, but arousal and dominance ratings differed significantly. According to the valence–arousal relationship, the Indian sample’s emotional reactions to the unpleasant pictures compared to the pleasant ones were stronger. The Indian sample’s affective space of valence and arousal had a more curved and deeper boomerang pattern than the North American sample. The divergences in arousal and dominance ratings are attributed to cultural differences in interpreting affective information specific to erotic and gory pictures. Although there are marked similarities between the Indian and North American ratings, careful consideration of country-specific normative ratings is recommended for erotic and gory IAPS pictures.

印度的 IAPS：高度唤醒情绪图片的跨文化验证研究

本文旨在从国际情感图片系统（IAPS）中获取一组情色和血腥图片，供印度各地的研究使用。此外，文章还将印度代表性样本的评分与北美标准进行了比较。印度成年参与者使用自我评估人体模型，对 72 幅与国际情感图片系统（IAPS）相匹配的唤醒图片进行了唤醒、情绪和支配等情感维度的评分。印度样本和北美样本对情绪的评分相似，但对唤醒和支配的评分差异很大。根据情绪-唤醒关系，印度样本对不愉快图片的情绪反应比对愉快图片的反应强烈。与北美样本相比，印度样本的情绪空间的价位和唤醒度的回旋镖模式更弯曲、更深。唤醒度和支配度评分的差异归因于在解读色情和血腥图片特定情感信息方面的文化差异。虽然印度和北美的评分有明显的相似之处，但建议在绘制色情和血腥的 IAPS 图片时仔细考虑各国的标准评分。
