We reanalyzed a data set consisting of a U.S. undergraduate sample (N = 212) from a previous study (Hertenstein et al. 2006a) that showed that touch communicates distinct emotions between humans. In the current reanalysis, we found that anger was communicated at greater-than-chance levels only when a male comprised at least one member of a communicating dyad. Sympathy was communicated at greater-than-chance levels only when a female comprised at least one member of the dyad. Finally, happiness was communicated only if females comprised the entire dyad. The current analysis demonstrates gender asymmetries in the accuracy of communicating distinct emotions via touch between humans.
我们重新分析了一个数据集,该数据集来自之前一项研究(赫滕斯坦等人,2006年a)中的美国本科生样本(N = 212),该研究表明触摸能够传达人类之间不同的情感。在当前的重新分析中,我们发现只有当交流双方中至少有一名男性时,愤怒情绪的传达水平才高于随机水平。只有当交流双方中至少有一名女性时,同情情绪的传达水平才高于随机水平。最后,只有当交流双方全是女性时,幸福情绪才会被传达。当前的分析表明,在通过触摸传达不同情感的准确性方面,存在性别不对称现象。
