Abstract This paper considers individual differences in the Emotion Recognition Ability (ERA) of 1368 participants in different modalities. The sample consisted of 557 first language (L1) and 881 foreign language (LX) users of English from all over the world. This study investigates four independent variables, namely modality of communication, language status (L1 versus LX), proficiency, and cultural background. The dependent variable is a score reflecting ERA. Participants were asked to identify an emotion (happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise and disgust) portrayed by a native English-speaking actress in six short recordings – either audiovisual or audio-only – embedded in an online questionnaire. English proficiency was measured through a lexical recognition test. Statistical analyses revealed that participants were better able to recognise emotions when visual cues are available. Overall, there was no difference between L1 and LX users’ ERA. However, L1 users outperformed LX users when visual cues were not available, which suggest that LX users are able to reach L1-like ERA when they can rely on a sufficient amount of cues. Participants with higher proficiency scores had significantly higher ERA scores, particularly in the audio-only condition. Asian LX users were found to score significantly lower than other LX users.

跨模式的情绪识别能力:语言状态(L1 / LX),熟练程度和文化背景的作用

摘要本文考虑了1368名参与者在不同方式下的情绪识别能力(ERA)的个体差异。该样本包括来自世界各地的557位英语的第一语言(L1)和881位外语(LX)用户。这项研究调查了四个独立变量,即沟通方式,语言状态(L1与LX),熟练程度和文化背景。因变量是反映ERA的得分。要求参与者在在线问卷中嵌入六种简短录音(包括视听或纯音频)中,识别出母语为英语的女演员所刻画的情绪(幸福,悲伤,愤怒,恐惧,惊奇和惊奇)。通过词汇识别测试来衡量英语水平。统计分析表明,只要有视觉提示,参与者就能够更好地识别情绪。总体而言,L1和LX用户的ERA之间没有区别。但是,当没有视觉提示时,L1用户的表现优于LX用户,这表明LX用户在可以依靠足够数量的提示时能够达到类似L1的ERA。熟练程度得分较高的参与者具有较高的ERA得分,尤其是在仅使用音频的情况下。发现亚洲LX用户的得分明显低于其他LX用户。熟练程度得分较高的参与者具有较高的ERA得分,尤其是在仅使用音频的情况下。发现亚洲LX用户的得分明显低于其他LX用户。熟练程度得分较高的参与者具有较高的ERA得分,尤其是在仅使用音频的情况下。发现亚洲LX用户的得分明显低于其他LX用户。
