摘要

缺乏合適本土文化的刺激與國人反應的參照標準近年來常困擾國內探討情緒議題的研究者。國科會人文處心理學門於97年推動「情緒標準刺激與反應常模的基礎研究」計畫，建立臉孔、圖片、詞彙、隱喻、笑話、聲調、音樂、與影片等8種標準情緒刺激，評估其正負向價、激動水準與自主程度，並測量其相關之生理與神經反應，製成「台灣地區華人情緒與相關心理生理資料庫」，公布於「情緒網站」（http://ssnre.psy.ntu.edu.tw）供學術界使用。參與各計畫之研究者針對刺激製作過程與認知評估結果等部分撰成學術論文，發表於本專輯，作為學者選用刺激之參考。本文針對製作此情緒標準刺激資料庫之緣起背景、理念依據、研究流程、結果意涵及未來研究方向提供一提綱挈領之介紹，協助使用者對於本資料庫及情緒相關議題有一整體認識，以達成促進國內有關情緒研究發展之目標。

Researchers on emotion in this country have long been looking for stimuli of various sorts which can appropriately instigate emotion reactions or appraisal in our society and culture. In responding to this need, the Psychology Section in Department of Humanity and Social Sciences, National Science Council launched a promotion project in 2008 entitled as ”A Study on Standard Stimuli and Normative Responses of Emotion in Taiwan,” to construct sets of emotional stimuli on facial expression, pictures, words, metaphors, jokes, intonation of speech, music, as well as film clips and to evaluate their valence, arousal or dominance level and to measure the neural and physiological responses to them. Results gathered from this project formed the ”Taiwan Corpora of Chinese Emotions and Psychophysiological Data” and were made available for research use on EmotioNet (http://ssnre.psy.ntu.edu.tw). Articles published in this special issue describe the construction procedure and evaluation results for each set of the stimuli serving as reference for users to select stimuli. This introductory article presents an overall view on the project background, theoretical framework, methodology and strategy, key findings and their implications; it also hints on the future directions of emotion research. It is expected that this endeavor can promote emotion research in Taiwan.
