Date of correction: July 16, 2010 Reason for correction: - Correction: ABSTRACT Details: Wrong : The present study was designed to examine the personality factor which affects the judgement of vocally expressed emotions. Love, Contempt, Indifference, Grief, and Anger were chosen as the stimuli of emotional categories in this experiment. Anxiety (MAS score) was used as the personality traits. Eased on the MAS scores, the three levels of anxiety groups of 4 Ss each were selected as the expresser groups. The high MAS group was selected from the top 10% of the distribution and low MAS group was selected from the bottom 10% of the distribution, and the medium MAS group was selected on the mean of the MAS score. Each S of the expresser groups was asked to express vocally one sentence with five emotional categories. Thus, 60 (5×3×4) speech samples were collected as stimulus for judgement. As for the judges, 10 Ss of the three levels of the MAS score were selected. In this experiment, each judge was asked to choose one of the names of emotions which are referred to eachstimulus. In addition, the response latency for each stimulus was measured.
The results are as follows:
(1) The high MAS judges showed lower percentage of correct judgement of emotions and longer response latency to each stimulus than medium and low MAS judges.
(2) The emotional stimulus which were expressed by high MAS expresser group were not judged correctly than the stimulus which were expressed by medium and low MAS expresser group. This result implies that high anxiety affects on the vocally expression of emotion.
(3) Among the five emotional categories, the percentages of agreement of high MAS judges are as follows: Grief (69%), Anger (66%), Indifference (63%), Love (49%), and Contempt (43%). The percentages of agreement of medium MAS judges are as follows: Grief (68%), Anger (63%), Love (61%), Indifference (60%), and Contempt (45%). In general, agreement in descending order is Grief, Anger, Indifference, Love, and Contempt.
(4) As for frequencies of choice of five emotions, Indifference had the greatest opportunity of choice (480 times), and Anger had the least opportunity of choice (288 times). Each judge had a trend to use the Indifference category frequently, and this tendency was especially remarkable for the high MAS judges.
(5) As for response latency, Contempt category took the longest latency and Grief category took the shortest latency. This trend is related with the result (3) mentioned above.
Right : The present study examined the personality factor (manifest anxiety) which affects the judgement of vocally expressed emotions. 5 emotional dimensions, love, contempt, indifference, grief and anger were used. Based on the MAS score, the 3 anxiety groups were selected as the expresser groups and the 3 MAS groups were used as the judgement groups. The ranking with agreement are grief (69%), anger (60%), indifference (58%), love (54%), contempt (42%). The emotions expressed by the high MAS group showed poor judgement of each emotion in comparison with the other 2 groups.

Abstract

The present study examined the personality factor (manifest anxiety) which affects the judgement of vocally expressed emotions. 5 emotional dimensions, love, contempt, indifference, grief and anger were used. Based on the MAS score, the 3 anxiety groups were selected as the expresser groups and the 3 MAS groups were used as the judgement groups. The ranking with agreement are grief (69%), anger (60%), indifference (58%), love (54%), contempt (42%). The emotions expressed by the high MAS group showed poor judgement of each emotion in comparison with the other 2 groups.
