中文阅读中的情绪词类型效应不受效价的调节：来自眼动的证据

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

本研究利用眼动追踪技术，将不同类型情绪词嵌入到同一句子框架，考察中文自然阅读中的情绪词类型效应及其与效价的关系。结果发现，情绪标签词注视时间显著长于情绪负载词，且这种注视差异不受情绪效价的调节。此外，对积极词的注视显著短于消极词，验证了积极效价的语义加工优势，支持了密度假说。结果表明，中文阅读中同样存在情绪词类型效应，且不论情绪效价如何，情绪标签词上情绪信息作用更为显著，更吸引读者注意且难以解离，表现出注意偏向优势。

Abstract:

In the current study, we investigated how the type (label or laden) and the valence (positive or negative) of the emotion words affect the Chinese reading processing, with embedding different types of emotion words into the same sentence frame. The eye movement data was collected. The results showed that emotion-label words were fixated significantly longer than emotion-laden words, which was not moderated by valence. Additionally, positive words were fixated significantly shorter than negative words, confirming the advantage of semantic processing for positive words and supporting the density hypothesis. These findings suggest that the emotion word type differently affect the lexical access in Chinese reading. The emotional information has a more pronounced effect on emotion-label words, captivating readers’ attention and leading to increased involvement and difficulty in disengagement.

Key words: emotion word type effect, emotion-label word, emotion-laden word, Chinese reading
