Film clips are widely used in emotion research due to their relatively high ecological validity. Although researchers have established various film clip sets for different cultures, the few that exist related to Chinese culture do not adequately address positive emotions. The main purposes of the present study were to establish a standardised database of Chinese emotional film clips that could elicit more categories of reported positive emotions compared to the existing databases and to expand the available film clips that can be used as neutral materials. Two experiments were conducted to construct the database. In experiment 1, 111 film clips were selected from more than one thousand Chinese movies for preliminary screening. After 315 participants viewed and evaluated these film clips, 39 excerpts were selected for further validation. In experiment 2, 147 participants watched and rated these 39 film clips, as well as another 8 excerpts chosen from the existing databases, to compare their validity. Eventually, 22 film excerpts that successfully evoked three positive emotions (joy, amusement, and tenderness), four negative emotions (moral disgust, anger, fear, and sadness), and neutrality formed the standardised database of Chinese emotional film clips.
由于具有相对较高的生态有效性，电影片段在情感研究中被广泛应用。尽管研究人员已经为不同的文化建立了各种电影片段集，但现有的与中国文化相关的片段集并不能充分涵盖积极情绪。本研究的主要目的是建立一个标准化的中国情感电影片段数据库，与现有的数据库相比，该数据库能够引发更多类别的报告积极情绪，并扩展可用的电影片段作为中性材料。本研究进行了两项实验来构建数据库。在实验 1 中，从一千多部中国电影中选取了 111 个电影片段进行初步筛选。在 315 名参与者观看和评估了这些电影片段后，选择了 39 个片段进行进一步验证。在实验 2 中，147 名参与者观看和评价了这 39 个电影片段，以及从现有数据库中选择的另外 8 个片段，以比较它们的有效性。最终，22 个成功引发三种积极情绪（喜悦、愉悦和温柔）、四种消极情绪（道德厌恶、愤怒、恐惧和悲伤）和中性情绪的电影片段构成了标准化的中国情感电影片段数据库。
