感情の “字義と比喩” 表現および “気持ちと行動” 記述の差異が感情評価に与える影響

Abstract

This study investigates how expression type (literal or metaphorical) and topic description type (action or emotional states) affects emotional evaluation of expressions. We collected 368 examples of different expression types and topic description types and four emotion types (relaxed, joyful, angry, and sad). Forty undergraduates rated the emotion of expressions using an affect grid consisting of a two-dimensional valence-arousal space. Analysis of variance results showed that participants rated (i) more positively in positive valence expression (joyful and relax) and more negatively in negative valence expression (angry and sad) on expression of feeling than expression of behavior, and (ii) higher arousal in joyful and lower arousal in relax on expression of behavior than expression of feeling. In addition, linear discriminant analysis showed there was no significant difference between literal expression and metaphorical expression in correct discrimination rate.
