The expression of sentiment and emotions always happens in human’s daily life.Whether or not the other party’s emotions can be accurately recognized would be closely related to the fluency and effectiveness of communication.In general,emotions are identified by expressions including facial expressions,voice expressions,and postures.In the past,the research in terms of emotion recognition mainly focused on the study of facial expression recognition but research on the recognition of emotions through sound is relatively backward,and it is less common that people regard Mandarin,the first language,as an experimental material in the research.Therefore,this study will use three relevant experiments,taking the test of the native language type,gender,and emotion as independent variables,and taking the score and reaction time of the testes in the voice emotion recognition test as the dependent variable.Under the conditions of neutral semantic sentences,nonsense false sentences and non-verbal utterances,the influence of language culture was peeled off,and three groups whose native language is respectively Mandarin,Korean or Russian were tested on the reaction to the five basic emotions,which are anger,happiness,fear,sadness and neutrality,through the scores in the tests and reaction time to verify the cross-culture consistency and intra-group dominance effects in the context of Mandarin culture.In Experiment 1,there are 21 subjects each who speak Russian and Korean,and 25 subjects who speak Mandarin in the experiment.Three kinds of native-language types of subjects performed emotional-type utterance judgments on emotional utterance sentences under neutral semantic conditions.The scores and reaction time were used as indicators to record the performance of the subject in the emotion recognition test.From Experiment 1,it was found that three types of native speakers could exceed the random guessing level to identify the type of emotional stimulus.Secondly,compared with Korean and Russian participants,Chinese participants had higher scores in the test of voice and emotion recognition since the use of time was shorter.In addition,the accuracy of the statement of the female vocalization utterance was higher than that of the male vocalization utterance.Experiment 2 consists of 25 Chinese speakers,21 Russian speakers and 21 Korean speakers.The sound stimuli presented in Experiment 2 was a meaningless spurious sentence formed by disorganizing the sentences in the experiment 1,and the participants made judgments on the types of emotions after hearing the emotional vocalization sentences of different genders.The results obtained in Experiment 2 are consistent with Experiment 1.In terms of cross-cultural consistency,the three types of native speakers can surpass the random guessing level to identify the type of emotional stimulus,and the scores of the Chinese participants in the task of emotion recognition is higher.In the reaction time,there was an intragroup superiority effect,and the accuracy of the statements of the female vocalization sensation in the female subjects was higher.In Experiment 3,there were 25 Chinese speakers,21 Russian speakers and 21 Korean speakers.The experimental sound material for Experiment 3 comes from the four basic emotions(laugh,screams,cries,fear)intercepted by the men and women on the sound effect screen.This nonverbal utterance further extricates the factor of the culture of language rhythm.In terms of cross-cultural consistency,the three types of native speakers can exceed the random guessing level to identify the types of emotion,but the Chinese group’s intra-group dominance effect is not significant,and the results that three native-language types of subjects vocalize the statement of female emotions has higher accuracy.
