Data for: Walking my Way? Walker Gender and Display Format Confounds the Perception of Specific Emotions

I recorded actors expressing different emotions through their walking gait with a Vicon motion capture system. I then created full-light and point-light stimuli of those recorded gaits and showed them to perceivers. I then used the results from the point-light experiment to extend Troje's (2002) methodology to construct synthetically modelled point-light walker stimuli and again showed them to perceivers. The emotion identification rates within this data set were calculated from raw scores to Hu and Hc scores (described in detail by Wagner, 1993), and then further to Ht rates.本研究采用Vicon运动捕捉系统（Vicon motion capture system），记录了演员通过行走步态表达不同情绪的动作数据。随后，基于上述记录的步态素材，制作了全光（full-light）与点光（point-light）两种刺激材料，并向人类观察者展示了这些刺激内容。紧接着，依托点光实验的结果，本研究拓展了Troje（2002）的研究方法，构建了合成建模的点光行走者（point-light walker）刺激素材，并再次向人类观察者进行了展示。本数据集内的情绪识别率，首先由原始得分计算得到Hu与Hc得分（Wagner于1993年对此进行了详细阐述），随后进一步转化为Ht比率。
