摘要

背景：行人避碰需要调整速度和轨迹。虽然先前的研究主要集中在行人速度和接近方向等情境因素上，但通过步态表达的情绪的影响在很大程度上尚未得到探索。目的：研究虚拟行人（VRPs）的情绪步态和接近方向如何共同影响运动策略，以及步态是否独立于步行速度影响回避行为。方法：20名健康成人在避开表现出快乐、悲伤、愤怒、中性或与速度匹配的中性情绪步态模式的vrp，向中心或对角线接近的情况下，向目标步行7米。使用广义估计方程比较了不同条件下到vrp的最小距离、起始距离、最大横向偏差和步行速度。结果：最小步行距离在不同条件下无显著性差异（p > 0.05），而情绪与方向的交互作用在起始距离（p = 0.004）、最大横向偏移（p = 0.004）和最小步行速度（p = 0.01）上出现。结论：情绪线索和接近方向相互作用并形成避碰行为，可能是由威胁评估介导的。步态影响逃避策略超越了简单的速度变化，突出了运动的社会性质。应用：这一新知识可以作为一个参考点，用于描述患有影响行走和情感识别的神经系统疾病的人群的运动策略，如创伤性脑损伤。

Emotion in motion: The impact of affective gait on pedestrian collision avoidance strategies

Background

Pedestrian collision avoidance requires adjustments in speed and trajectory. While previous research focused on situational factors such as pedestrian speed and approach direction, the influence of emotion expressed through gait remains largely unexplored.

Objectives

This study investigated how emotional gait and approach direction of virtual pedestrians (VRPs) jointly shape locomotor strategies, and whether gait influences avoidance behaviour independently of walking speed.

Methods

Twenty healthy adults walked 7 m toward a target while avoiding VRPs displaying happy, sad, angry, neutral, or speed-matched neutral emotional gait patterns, approaching centrally or diagonally. Minimum distance from VRPs, onset distance, maximal lateral deviation, and walking speed were compared across conditions using generalized estimating equations.

Results

Minimum distance did not differ across conditions (p > 0.05), whereas emotion × direction interactions emerged for onset distance (p = 0.004), maximal lateral deviation (p = 0.004), and minimum walking speed (p = 0.01). Angry gait produced larger onset distances than other emotions (p < 0.0001), with the angry-center combination yielding the largest values. For diagonally-approaching VRPs, sad gait increased maximal lateral deviations (p < 0.001) and angry gait reduced minimum walking speeds (p < 0.0001). Differences persisted when comparing emotional gait with speed-matched neutral counterparts (p < 0.009).

Conclusion

Emotional cues and approach directions interact and shape collision avoidance behaviour, likely mediated by threat assessment. Gait influences avoidance strategies beyond simple speed variations, highlighting the social nature of locomotion.

Application

This new knowledge can serve as a reference point in characterizing locomotor strategies in populations suffering from neurological disorders that affect walking and emotion recognition, such as traumatic brain injury.

期刊介绍： Human Movement Science provides a medium for publishing disciplinary and multidisciplinary studies on human movement. It brings together psychological, biomechanical and neurophysiological research on the control, organization and learning of human movement, including the perceptual support of movement. The overarching goal of the journal is to publish articles that help advance theoretical understanding of the control and organization of human movement, as well as changes therein as a function of development, learning and rehabilitation. The nature of the research reported may vary from fundamental theoretical or empirical studies to more applied studies in the fields of, for example, sport, dance and rehabilitation with the proviso that all studies have a distinct theoretical bearing. Also, reviews and meta-studies advancing the understanding of human movement are welcome. These aims and scope imply that purely descriptive studies are not acceptable, while methodological articles are only acceptable if the methodology in question opens up new vistas in understanding the control and organization of human movement. The same holds for articles on exercise physiology, which in general are not supported, unless they speak to the control and organization of human movement. In general, it is required that the theoretical message of articles published in Human Movement Science is, to a certain extent, innovative and not dismissible as just "more of the same."
