Abstract

Background

Previous research has shown that the emotional content of words affects how quickly they are recognised. One recent measure of word emotionality is emotional experience that measures the degree to which reading a word can invoke emotional experiences tied to the word. Words that are higher in emotional experience are recognised more rapidly in the lexical decision task.

Methods

The current study examines how words' emotional experience and participants' emotionality affect performance on the lexical decision task. To this end, participants were given five emotion measures and completed a lexical decision task with words varying on emotional experience.

Results

It was found that participants who scored higher on the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule showed a weaker emotional experience effect. No other emotion measures interacted with emotional experience.

Conclusions

These results are predicted by and interpreted within a framework where the semantic representation of words includes emotion information that is grounded in experience of our internal states.

词汇情感体验和参与者情感在词汇决策中的作用

背景先前的研究表明，单词的情感内容会影响它们被识别的速度。最近对单词情感性的一种衡量是情感体验，它衡量阅读一个单词能在多大程度上唤起与该单词相关的情感体验。情绪体验较高的单词在词汇决策任务中被更快地识别。方法本研究考察了词汇的情绪体验和参与者的情绪性如何影响词汇决策任务的表现。为此，参与者被给予五种情绪测量，并完成了一项词汇决策任务，其中单词因情绪体验而异。结果研究发现，在积极和消极情绪表中得分较高的参与者表现出较弱的情绪体验效应。没有其他情绪测量与情绪体验相互作用。结论这些结果是在一个框架内预测和解释的，其中单词的语义表示包括基于我们内部状态经验的情感信息。
