Abstract

Objective: This article includes the examination of potential methodological problems of the application of a forced choice response format in facial emotion recognition.

Methodology: 33 subjects were presented with validated facial stimuli. The task was to make a decision about which emotion was shown. In addition, the subjective certainty concerning the decision was recorded.

Results: The detection rates are 68% for fear, 81% for sadness, 85% for anger, 87% for surprise, 88% for disgust, and 94% for happiness, and are thus well above the random probability.

Conclusion: This study refutes the concern that the use of forced choice formats may not adequately reflect actual recognition performance. The use of standardized tests to examine emotion recognition ability leads to valid results and can be used in different contexts. For example, the images presented here appear suitable for diagnosing deficits in emotion recognition in the context of psychological disorders and for mapping treatment progress.

强迫选择对面部情绪识别的影响:与开放语言情绪标签分类的比较。

目的:本文探讨了强迫选择反应格式在面部情绪识别中的应用可能存在的方法学问题。方法:向33名受试者提供经过验证的面部刺激。这项任务是决定显示哪种情绪。此外，还记录了有关决定的主观确定性。结果:恐惧的检出率为68%，悲伤的检出率为81%，愤怒的检出率为85%，惊讶的检出率为87%，厌恶的检出率为88%，快乐的检出率为94%，大大高于随机概率。结论:本研究驳斥了使用强制选择格式可能不能充分反映实际识别性能的担忧。使用标准化测试来检查情绪识别能力会导致有效的结果，并且可以在不同的环境中使用。例如，这里展示的图像似乎适合于诊断心理障碍背景下的情绪识别缺陷，并用于绘制治疗进展图。
