感情語彙サイズ推定テストの開発─コンピュータ適応型テストを用いて─

抄録

In recent years, the importance of emotional granularity, which refers to the degree to which an individual can recognize emotions discretely, has been acknowledged. However, the methods used to measure it are burdensome, and a simple measurement index is needed. In this study, the emotional vocabulary size was proposed as an alternative measure, and a test to measure it was developed. First, emotional words were collected from the Emotional Vocabulary Dictionary, their discrimination and difficulty parameter were measured, the validity of the test was confirmed, and an item bank was created. Based on the bank, the emotional vocabulary size estimation test was developed using a computer adaptive test. When the validity was evaluated, the estimated emotional vocabulary size was related to the general vocabulary size and the tendency to recognize one’s emotions discretely. These results suggest that this test can be used to estimate the size of an individual’s emotional vocabulary, and may serve as an index of emotional granularity.
