“…There are two ways to sort emotion-label and emotion-laden words. One is the continuous ratings of the scale of the prototypicality of a word to refer to emotion ( Pérez-Sánchez et al, 2021 ) and the other is yes/no voting for the emotional word type ( Wang et al, 2019 ). The latter method could better meet our need for a factorial design.…”

Evidence for dynamic attentional bias toward positive emotion-laden words: A behavioral and electrophysiological study

et al. 2022

There has been no consensus on the neural dissociation between emotion-label and emotion-laden words, which remains one of the major concerns in affective neurolinguistics. The current study adopted dot-probe tasks to investigate the valence effect on attentional bias toward Chinese emotion-label and emotion-laden words. Behavioral data showed that emotional word type and valence interacted in attentional bias scores with an attentional bias toward positive emotion-laden words rather than positive emotion-label words and that this bias was derived from the disengagement difficulty in positive emotion-laden words. In addition, an attentional bias toward negative emotion-label words relative to positive emotion-label words was observed. The event-related potential (ERP) data demonstrated an interaction between emotional word type, valence, and hemisphere. A significant hemisphere effect was observed during the processing of positive emotion-laden word pairs rather than positive emotion-label, negative emotion-label, and negative emotion-laden word pairs, with positive emotion-laden word pairs eliciting an enhanced P1 in the right hemisphere as compared to the left hemisphere. Our results found a dynamic attentional bias toward positive emotion-laden words; individuals allocated more attention to positive emotion-laden words in the early processing stage and had difficulty disengaging attention from them in the late processing stage.

“…Words were selected from the English affective norms of Warriner et al (2013). We first identified a potential set of emotion words in that dataset, and, to be sure that they were perceived as words referring to emotions, relied on the emotional prototypicality ratings of their translation equivalents in a Spanish database (Pérez-Sánchez, Stadthagen-Gonzalez, Guasch, Hinojosa, Fraga, Marín & Ferré, 2021). We used this dataset because it is the most recent and largest for this type of ratings.…”

Love me in L1, but hate me in L2: How native speakers and bilinguals rate the affectivity of words when feeling or thinking about them

et al. 2022

This study examines the distinction between knowing the meaning of a word and experiencing the feelings associated with it. We collected affective ratings for a set of emotional and neutral English words from a group of English native speakers and a group of European Portuguese–English bilinguals. Half of the emotional words named emotions (emotion words) and the other half did not name emotions but could provoke them (emotion-laden words). Some participants were asked to focus on the meaning of words while others were asked to focus on the feeling produced by the words. Native speakers of English produced more intense affective ratings that Portuguese–English bilinguals. Such difference was larger when participants focused on their feelings than when they focused on the words’ meaning. Accordingly, such distinction should be considered in the study of bilingual affective language processing. Finally, the type of emotional word (emotion vs. emotion-laden) had only modest effects.

“…It is argued that research on emotion-label words and emotion-laden words is lacking an objective measurement of determining what is an emotion-label word or an emotion-laden word (Hinojosa et al, 2020 ). One recent normative database of 1,286 Spanish words proffered the ratings of emotional prototypicality that refers to the degree of the typicality of an emotion word (Pérez et al, 2021 ). The higher prototypicality of an emotion word means that it is more reasonable to be defined as an emotion-label word, such as fear.…”

The present event-related potential (ERP) study explored whether masked emotion-laden words could facilitate the processing of both emotion-label words and emotion-laden words in a valence judgment task. The results revealed that emotion-laden words as primes failed to influence target emotion-label word processing, whereas emotion-laden words facilitated target emotion-laden words in the congruent condition. Specifically, decreased late positivity complex (LPC) was elicited by emotion-laden words primed by emotion-laden words of the same valence than those primed by emotion-laden words of different valence. Nevertheless, no difference was observed for emotion-label words as targets. These findings supported the mediated account that claimed emotion-laden words engendered emotion via the mediation of emotion-label words and hypothesized that emotion-laden words could not prime emotion-label words in the masked priming paradigm. Moreover, this study provided additional evidence showing the distinction between emotion-laden words and emotion-label words.
