以情緒感受為基礎的音樂情緒資料庫

A Felt-Emotion-Based Corpora of Music Emotions

本研究負責「台灣地區華人情緒與相關生物行為資料庫」當中的音樂刺激與音樂情緒資料庫的建製，包含以下幾個研究目標：（一）建立一套以經驗的情緒為本的音樂情緒刺激資料庫；（二）探討台灣地區聆聽者音樂情緒空間的範圍；（三）比較不同學齡層聆聽者的情緒空間差異。本資料庫以排除非音樂因素之干擾的原則，選取240首樂曲之片段作為刺激，在20種情緒類別上調查國中、高中、大學三個學齡層，總共4,799位參與者的感受情緒。所有學齡層的反應都呈現正面情緒大於負面情緒的趨勢，若干負面情緒類別則似乎無法透過音樂獲得。國中生與其他兩組族群的情緒反應型態具有顯著差異，對於陰暗的情緒較不敏感。本研究所使用的材料以及感受情緒的反應資料，均可在本資料庫中以「樂曲為中心」或以「情緒類別為中心」的方式檢索。

This research is a part of the ‘Taiwan Corpora of Chinese Emotions and Biobehavioral Data’ project, aiming for building a music emotion corpora that centers on the felt, rather than the perceived emotions of Taiwanese listeners. The scope of this research includes: (1) constructing a database of emotion-triggering music stimuli, and the felt emotions of the listeners; (2) inspecting the emotion spectrum induced by music; (3) evaluating the differences in music emotions across three age groups. Non-musical factors were carefully controlled in the selection of 240 music clips. Felt emotions of the listeners were measured on 20 emotion categories. A total of 4,799 participants from middle high, high school, and university age group were recruited in this study. Participants of all groups tend to report more positive emotions than the negative. Some specific negative emotions cannot be induced by music. The responses of middle high school students are different from that of the high school and university students, being weaker in amplitude, and less sensitive to darker emotions. All experimental materials and response data can be retrieved in either music-centered, or emotion-categorycentered search mode, and are open to the research community.
