日本語版感情ビネットの作成と学生サンプルにおける妥当性の検討

抄録

Scenario-based emotional stimuli can deal with environmental restrictions, psychological shocks, and difficulties in evoking complex emotions. This study aimed to translate the emotion vignettes by Wingenbach et al. (2019) into Japanese and validate them. In the translation process based on the ISPOR guidelines, two forward translators translated the vignettes into Japanese, and then one back-translator translated them into English. After receiving confirmation and correction from the original author, 40 vignettes to elicit emotions (anger, disgust, fear, sadness, happiness, gratitude, guilt, and neutral) were developed. Next, a survey was conducted on 70 Japanese college students. As a result of the analysis without the vignettes with the lowest hit rate in each emotional category, the vignettes in each emotional category were separated by hierarchical cluster analysis, and the vignettes had acceptable hit rates and intensity rates. These results confirmed the validity of the emotion vignettes, and 32 vignettes are included in the final stimulus set. These stimuli can be used for emotion research (e.g., emotion elicitation or emotion recognition).
