目的:捕捉发声类型,如呼吸,模态,而按下的声音恰恰可以促进人类情感的识别。然而,人们对语音类型和解码器的性别如何影响情感语音的感知知之甚少。基于修正的Brunswikian镜头模型,本文旨在通过发音语音合成来研究语音类型和解码器性别在普通话情感语音识别中的作用。
方法:55名参与者(28名男性和27名女性)完成了普通话情感语音的识别任务,有200个刺激代表五个情感类别(幸福,愤怒,恐惧,悲伤,和中立)和五种类型(原始,已复制,呼吸,模态,并按下)。进行了重复测量方差分析,以分析识别准确性和混淆数据。
结果:对于男性和女性解码器,来自压力刺激的愤怒和来自呼吸刺激的恐惧的识别准确性很高;在所有发声型刺激中,悲伤的识别准确率也很高,但是幸福感很低。混淆数据显示,在从所有发声类型的刺激中识别恐惧时,与男性解码器相比,女性解码器选择恐惧反应的频率更高,而中性反应的频率更低。在从呼吸刺激中识别中立时,女性解码器显着减少了他们对中性反应的选择,错误地将中性识别为愤怒,而男性解码器误认为中立是因为愤怒。
结论:这项研究表明,用普通话,发声类型在识别愤怒中起着至关重要的作用,恐惧,中立,而对悲伤和快乐的认识似乎并不严重依赖于发音类型。此外,解码器的性别影响他们对中立和恐惧的认识。这些发现支持改良的Brunswikian晶状体模型,并对患有听力障碍或性别相关精神疾病的临床人群的诊断和干预具有重要意义。

Capturing
phonation types such as breathy, modal, and pressed voices precisely can facilitate the recognition of human emotions. However, little is known about how exactly
phonation types and decoders\' gender influence the perception of emotional speech. Based on the modified Brunswikian lens model, this article aims to examine the roles of
phonation types and decoders\' gender in Mandarin emotional speech recognition by virtue of articulatory speech synthesis.
Fifty-five participants (28 male and 27 female) completed a recognition task of Mandarin emotional speech, with 200 stimuli representing five emotional categories (happiness, anger, fear, sadness, and neutrality) and five types (original, copied, breathy, modal, and pressed). Repeated-measures analyses of variance were performed to analyze recognition accuracy and confusion data.
For male and female decoders, the recognition accuracy of anger from pressed stimuli and fear from breathy stimuli was high; across all phonation-type stimuli, the recognition accuracy of sadness was also high, but that of happiness was low. The confusion data revealed that in recognizing fear from all
phonation-type stimuli, female decoders chose fear responses more frequently and neutral responses less frequently than male decoders. In recognizing neutrality from breathy stimuli, female decoders significantly reduced their choice of neutral responses and misidentified neutrality as anger, while male decoders mistook neutrality from pressed stimuli for anger.
This study revealed that, in Mandarin,
phonation types play crucial roles in recognizing anger, fear, and neutrality, while the recognition of sadness and happiness seems not to depend heavily on phonation types. Moreover, the decoders\' gender affects their recognition of neutrality and fear. These findings support the modified Brunswikian lens model and have significance for diagnosis and intervention among clinical populations with hearing impairment or gender-related psychiatric disorders.
