语言差异对跨通道情绪启动效应的影响

采用跨通道启动范式，探讨言语与面孔情绪加工的相互影响效应，以及语言差异（母语：汉语；非母语：英语）在其中的影响作用。实验1以言语情绪词为启动刺激，面孔情绪为目标刺激，结果发现，相比于英语启动刺激条件，在汉语启动刺激条件下的面孔情绪判断具有更好的表现；在积极情绪启动条件下，言语情绪刺激能够启动面孔情绪刺激。实验2以面孔情绪为启动刺激，言语情绪词为目标刺激，结果发现，相比于英语目标刺激条件，在汉语目标刺激条件下的言语情绪判断具有更好的表现；在积极情绪启动条件下，面孔情绪刺激能够启动言语情绪刺激。研究结果表明，言语情绪与面孔情绪的加工能够相互影响，但这种相互关系仅表现在积极情绪启动条件下。此外，母语和非母语在情绪功能上具有差异性。

The Influence of Language Differences on the Cross-Modal Priming Effect of Emotion

The cross-modal priming paradigm was used to investigate the interactive effects of speech and facial emotion processing as well as the influences of linguistic differences (native language: Chinese; non-native language: English). In experiment 1, the emotional verbal word was served as the prime stimulus and the emotional face was served as the target stimulus. The results showed that participants achieved better performances on judging facial emotion under the condition of Chinese prime stimulus than that under the condition of English prime stimulus. Besides, under the circumstance of positive stimulus priming, the processing of verbal emotion could influence that of facial emotion. As for experiment 2, the emotional face was adopted as the prime stimulus while the emotional verbal word was used for the target stimulus. It was found that under Chinese target stimulus, participants had better performances on judging the verbal emotion than that under the English target stimulus. Moreover, the processing of facial emotion was able to activate that of verbal emotion in condition of positive stimulus priming. The results indicate that verbal emotion and facial emotion processing interacts with each other; however, such interaction is only reliable with positive primes. In addition, the emotional function of the native language is different from that of the non-native language.
