国际情绪图片系统的本土化研究：在中国大学生群体中的评定

Native Research of International Affective Picture System:Assessment in University Students

目的:国际情绪图片系统(IAPS)是美国情绪与注意研究中心为情绪相关研究编制的标准化图片系统,但其各项参数尚未在中国人群中得以完整地评定与验证。方法:本研究选取中国大学生被试300名,对全部704张IAPS图片从效价、唤醒度、优势度三个维度进行了中国本土化评定。结果:中国被试评定虽然与IAPS原始评分具有较高的相关,但是在效价与唤醒度维度上均具有显著的差异;对于与中国文化特征相冲突的强烈、直接的情绪图片,中国被试在效价方面的评分显著低于原始结果,而唤醒度高于原始评定。结论:IAPS图片虽然具有较好的国际适用性,但虑及东西方文化差异,中国研究中应参考本土评定结果选取相关的IAPS图片。

Objective： The International Affective Picture System （IAPS） is developed to provide a set of standardized emotional stimuli for experimental investigations of emotion and attention. However, the concerned parameters have not been systematically assessed or testified in Chinese people living in totally different culture from American. Methods： 300 subjects were selected to assess the valence, arousal and dominance of all the 704 pictures in IAPS with the order to make the native assessment in China. Results： The results showed significant difference in dimensions of valence and arousal between assessed scores of Chinese subjects and the original data of IAPS, despite a high correlation was observed between them. On pictures containing intense feeling or sexy which contradicted traditional Chinese culture, the valence scores assessed in China were significantly lower than the original data while the arousal scores were significantly higher. Conclusion： It is concluded that native assessment should be seriously considered to select pictures from IAPS while making research for Chinese subjects allowing for the eastern and western cultural differences.
