语义通达对语言标识效应产生的必要作用

Semantic Access is Necessary for Labeling Effects on Emotional Experience

大量研究表明语言标识对情绪体验具有调节作用,但并未深入分析这种调节效应产生的内在机制。本研究自下而上操纵标识词的形、音、义信息,探察不同效价情绪的标识效应产生对词汇形、音、义信息的依赖性。结果发现,与仅具有音、形信息的假词相比,真词作为标识词时可以显著降低被试对负性图片的消极体验。表明词汇语义信息的通达是标识效应产生的必要条件,仅具有词汇音和形的信息不足以产生标识效应。

Numerous studies have confirmed that language plays an important role in the regulation of emotional experience, but there were few studies investigating the mechanism of such regulation. The present study systematically manipulated phonology,grapheme, and semantic information of verbal labels to investigate which information affects labeling effects. Two experiments were conducted to explore the mechanism of labeling effects. The results showed that only neutral real characters effectively inhibited negative emotion, indicating that semantic access is necessary for the occurrence of labeling effects, whereas phonology and grapheme information is not sufficient to elicit labeling effects.
