    These are the audio/visual stimuli used in the study reported in Lorette, P., & Dewaele, J.-M. (2024). Valence and arousal perception among first language users, foreign language users, and naïve listeners of Mandarin across various communication modalities. Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 27(5), 874-885. doi: 10.1017/S1366728923000925 Transcriptions of the stimuli in Chinese and English translations can be found in the appendix of the article

    Lexico-semantic and morphosyntactic cues in L1 prediction : a visual-world eye-tracking study

    No full text
    Eye-tracking study implementing the visual-world paradigm with 96 auditory sentences each paired with a 4-object display. The auditory SVO sentences contained either a lexico-semantic cue in the verb, a gender cue in the article, or a combination of both cues that enabled the prediction of the object of the sentence. Only L1 German users took part in the study. They previewed the displays for 3 seconds before the auditory sentence started. The datasheets contain the proportion of looks to the target (IA_1) as well as to each other object of the display in BIN 1, i.e. the last bin before the article onset (i.e. when only lexico-semantic prediction cues from the verb were available) and in BIN 2, i.e. the last bin before the object onset (i.e. when both lexico-semantic prediction cues from the verb and gender cues from the article were available)

    The categorical approach to cross-cultural emotion perception research has mainly relied on constrained experimental tasks, which have arguably biased previous findings and attenuated cross-cultural differences. On the other hand, in the constructionist approach, conclusions on the universal nature of valence and arousal have mainly been indirectly drawn based on participants' word-matching or free-sorting behaviors, but studies based on participants' continuous valence and arousal ratings are very scarce. When it comes to self-reports of specific emotion perception, constructionists tend to rely on free labeling, which has its own limitations. In an attempt to move beyond the limitations of previous methods, a new instrument called the Two-Dimensional Affect and Feeling Space (2DAFS) has been developed. The 2DAFS is a useful, innovative, and user-friendly instrument that can easily be integrated in online surveys and allows for the collection of both continuous valence and arousal ratings and categorical emotion perception data in a quick and flexible way. In order to illustrate the usefulness of this tool, a cross-cultural emotion perception study based on the 2DAFS is reported. The results indicate the cross-cultural variation in valence and arousal perception, suggesting that the minimal universality hypothesis might need to be more nuanced
