This study investigated the identification of non-verbal expressions of emotions by 19 hearing and 24 hearing-impaired adolescents. The participants were presented with video recordings of six emotions: anger, fear, sadness, surprise, happiness and disgust. The emotions were expressed on the same neutral sentence. The expressions were presented in three modes: visual, auditory and combined auditory-visual. The relative contributions of each mode to the identification processes were evaluated for the two research samples. The accuracy in identification of emotions through each of the presentation modes among the hearing-impaired participants was significantly lower than that of the hearing participants. The hearing participants performed better in the auditory-visual mode than in the auditory or the visual modes alone. The hearing-impaired participants performed better in the visual mode than in the auditory mode, and no difference was found between the auditory-visual mode and the visual mode alone. The lower performance of the hearing-impaired group suggested that rehabilitation processes should include training in the area of non-verbal perception. The rank order of the identification of emotions in both research samples was similar. Fear and surprise were the most difficult to identify. Similar order was found for each of the presentation modes as well. Further examination of the stimulus material with different groups of hearing-impaired individuals was recommended.
本研究调查了19名听力正常的青少年和24名听力受损的青少年对非言语情感表达的识别情况。研究人员向参与者展示了六种情感的视频记录：愤怒、恐惧、悲伤、惊讶、快乐和厌恶。这些情感通过相同的中性语句来表达。这些表达以三种模式呈现：视觉模式、听觉模式和视听结合模式。针对这两个研究样本，评估了每种模式对识别过程的相对贡献。听力受损参与者通过每种呈现模式识别情感的准确率显著低于听力正常的参与者。听力正常的参与者在视听模式下的表现优于单独的听觉或视觉模式。听力受损的参与者在视觉模式下的表现优于听觉模式，且在视听模式和单独的视觉模式之间未发现差异。听力受损组表现较差表明康复过程应包括非言语感知方面的训练。两个研究样本中情感识别的排序相似。恐惧和惊讶最难识别。每种呈现模式下也发现了类似的排序。建议对不同组的听力受损个体进一步检查刺激材料。
