Abstract

Abstract: Emotional prosody recognition refers to the process in which individuals infer the emotional states of others through the analysis of acoustic cues other than semantic ones in their discourse. We conducted two studies to explore the characteristics of emotional prosody recognition among college students with social delay. The results showed that: 1) The correct recognition rate of the prosody of disgust and fear in the delayed group was significantly lower than that in the control group. But there was no significant difference in recognition of other emotional prosody between the two groups. The ability to recognize happiness, anger, sadness, fear and disgust declined in turn similarly in the two groups. 2) When semantics and prosody had a conflict with each other, the delayed group was more susceptible to semantic interference than the control group.

Key words: social delay, recognition of emotional prosody, college students

摘要： 情绪韵律识别指个体通过对他人话语中除语义以外的声学线索进行分析，推断他人情绪状态的过程。本研究通过2个实验对社会性发展迟滞大学生的情绪韵律识别特点进行探索。结果发现：（1）社会性发展迟滞组厌恶和恐惧韵律的识别正确率显著低于对照组，两组在其他情绪韵律识别正确率上无显著差异；且两组被试情绪韵律识别趋势一致：高兴、愤怒、悲伤、恐惧和厌恶韵律识别正确率依次递减；（2）当语义与韵律矛盾时，迟滞组比对照组更易受语义干扰。
