Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of emotions and some personality traits on translation performance. It builds on Rojo and Ramos’s (2016) findings and is broadly based on their methodology, but introduces some methodological changes. It replicates their experiment with translation students in another language pair (English L2>Macedonian L1) following their three step procedure: resiliency test, translation-bogus feedback-translation, self-reporting questionnaire. Following their recommendations (ibid.), the change in methodology involves using comparatively easier translation tasks. The paper aims to provide answers as to: the effect of positive and negative emotions on overall translation performance; the effect of positive and negative emotions on different aspects of translation performance (accuracy vs. creativity) and the role of the personality trait of resilience in regulating negative emotions.

情绪对翻译效果的影响

本文的目的是探讨情绪和一些人格特质对翻译绩效的影响。它以Rojo和Ramos(2016)的研究结果为基础，广泛基于他们的方法，但引入了一些方法上的变化。在另一语言对(英语L2>马其顿语L1)的翻译学生中重复他们的实验，遵循他们的三步程序:弹性测试，翻译-虚假反馈-翻译，自我报告问卷。根据他们的建议(同上)，方法的变化涉及到使用相对容易的翻译任务。本文旨在回答以下问题:积极情绪和消极情绪对整体翻译绩效的影响;积极情绪和消极情绪对翻译绩效(准确性和创造性)的影响，以及弹性人格特质在调节消极情绪中的作用。

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
