This study was designed to investigate the relations between emotional expression and the movement characteristics. For this purpose, we used kinematic data related to three factors of the movement characteristics: Speed, Force, and Directness. In Exp. 1, we examined how the dancers expressed emotions when they used a certain body action and body part, and how they altered the movement characteristics. In Exp. 1, 10 female dancers were instructed to express three emotions, joy, sadness, and anger, by altering arm-movement characteristics. Analysis of variance indicated that the three exhibited emotional expressions had different movement characteristics. Discriminant analysis indicated that kinematic data for evaluation of movement characteristics are useful for discrimination of the three emotional expressions in dance. In Exp. 2, we investigated how naive observers perceived the type of emotion from the arm-movement characteristics. Analysis of variance showed that 22 observers accurately perceived each emotion distinguished from other emotions. Multiple regression analysis showed that specific movement characteristics influenced the perception of particular emotion.
本研究旨在调查情感表达与动作特征之间的关系。为此，我们使用了与动作特征的三个因素相关的运动学数据：速度、力量和直接性。在实验1中，我们研究了舞者在使用特定身体动作和身体部位时如何表达情感，以及他们如何改变动作特征。在实验1中，10名女性舞者被要求通过改变手臂动作特征来表达三种情感：喜悦、悲伤和愤怒。方差分析表明，这三种表现出的情感表达具有不同的动作特征。判别分析表明，用于评估动作特征的运动学数据有助于区分舞蹈中的三种情感表达。在实验2中，我们研究了外行观察者如何从手臂动作特征中感知情感类型。方差分析表明，22名观察者能够准确地将每种情感与其他情感区分开来。多元回归分析表明，特定的动作特征会影响对特定情感的感知。
