Abstract

Affective feelings naturally infuse individuals' perceptions, serving as valid windows onto the real world. The affective realism hypothesis further explains how these feelings work: as properties of individuals' perceptual experiences, these feelings influence perception. Notably, this hypothesis based on affective feelings with different valences has been substantiated, whereas the existing evidence is not compelling enough. Moreover, whether specific affective feelings can be experienced as properties of target perception remains unclear. Addressing these two issues deepens our understanding of the nature of emotional representation. Hence, we investigated the affective realism hypothesis based on affective feelings with different valences and specific emotions, comparing it with the affective misattribution hypothesis. In Experiment 1, we examined the effects of affective feelings with various valences on targets' perception through the AM (1a) and CFS paradigms (1b). In Experiment 2, we investigated the effects of affective feelings with anger, sadness, and disgust using similar methods. Results from Experiments 1a and 1b consistently indicated significant differences in valence ratings of neutral faces under emotional contexts with varying valences. Experiment 2a revealed significant differences in specific emotion ratings of neutral faces under different specific emotional contexts in the AM paradigm, whereas such differences were not observed in the CFS paradigm in Experiment 2b. We concluded that affective feelings with different valences, rather than specific emotions, can be experienced as inherent properties of target perception, validating the affective realism hypothesis. These findings supported the view that the nature of emotional representation should be described as affective dimensions.

人脸感知的情感语境效应:对情感真实性假说的检验。
情感自然而然地渗透到个体的感知中,成为观察真实世界的有效窗口。情感现实主义假说进一步解释了这些情感是如何起作用的:作为个体知觉经验的属性,这些情感影响着知觉。值得注意的是,这一假说基于不同价值的情感感受得到了证实,而现有的证据还不够有力。此外,特定的情感感受是否能作为目标知觉的属性而被体验到,这一点仍不清楚。解决这两个问题将加深我们对情感表征本质的理解。因此,我们研究了基于不同价值和特定情绪的情感真实假说,并将其与情感错误归因假说进行了比较。在实验 1 中,我们通过 AM 范式(1a)和 CFS 范式(1b)考察了不同情绪价值的情感对目标知觉的影响。在实验 2 中,我们使用类似的方法研究了愤怒、悲伤和厌恶等情绪情感对目标感知的影响。实验 1a 和 1b 的结果一致表明,在不同的情绪情境下,对中性面孔的情绪评价存在显著差异。实验 2a 显示,在 AM 范式中,不同特定情绪情境下中性面孔的特定情绪评分存在显著差异,而在实验 2b 的 CFS 范式中则没有观察到这种差异。我们的结论是,不同情绪值的情感感受,而不是特定情绪,可以作为目标感知的固有属性被体验到,从而验证了情感现实主义假说。这些发现支持了情感表征的性质应被描述为情感维度的观点。

期刊介绍: The Journal of General Psychology publishes human and animal research reflecting various methodological approaches in all areas of experimental psychology. It covers traditional topics such as physiological and comparative psychology, sensation, perception, learning, and motivation, as well as more diverse topics such as cognition, memory, language, aging, and substance abuse, or mathematical, statistical, methodological, and other theoretical investigations. The journal especially features studies that establish functional relationships, involve a series of integrated experiments, or contribute to the development of new theoretical insights or practical applications.
