Dataset of the Arab Deaf People's Reactions on Subtitling Vernacular Egyptian Movies into Modern Standard Arabic

A dataset was compiled to elicit the reactions of a group of deaf people to their experience of watching a colloquial Egyptian movie subtitled intralingually into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The researchers designed a survey that includes two sections. The first section contains demographic information, including gender, education level, age, and MSA reading speed. The second section comprises five main constructs: (1) movie watching habits, (2) technical aspects, (3) linguistic and paralinguistic information, (4) attitude, and (5) future actions and recommendations. The researchers contacted two centers for the deaf in Egypt and Egypt to provide them with the contact details of some of their members who are willing to take part in the study. They were sent a Google Drive link that includes the Egyptian movie Boushkash with Netflix MSA subtitles. The members were then asked to fill in a Likert-type questionnaire that is designed using Microsoft Forms. Snowball sampling method was also used as the researchers asked the respondents to share the links with their deaf fellows. Responses from 126 participants were received. The responses of 20 participants were used for piloting, i.e., to examine the questionnaire's reliability, while the remaining 106 respondents were used in the dataset of the present study. The percentage of respondents who either 'Strongly Agreed' or 'Agreed' with the item was calculated. In addition, the standard error of the mean "M (S.E.)" for each item was also calculated. The data will be useful for translators and subtitlers interested in examining the impact of intralingual subtitles on the audience with hearing impairment. Policymakers and governments can use the data to identify the needs of this minority group and take action to force national T.V. channels to add intralingual translation to their various programs.本数据集旨在收集一组听障群体观看埃及口语电影时的体验反馈，该电影内嵌了现代标准阿拉伯语（Modern Standard Arabic，MSA）的语内字幕（intralingual subtitles）。研究人员设计了包含两个部分的调查问卷：第一部分为人口统计学信息，涵盖性别、受教育程度、年龄以及现代标准阿拉伯语阅读速度；第二部分包含五大核心维度：(1) 观影习惯，(2) 技术层面，(3) 语言与副语言信息，(4) 态度倾向，(5) 未来行动与建议。研究人员联系了埃及境内的两家听障服务中心，获取了部分愿意参与本研究的会员联系方式。研究人员向这些会员发送了谷歌云端硬盘（Google Drive）链接，其中包含埃及电影《Boushkash》及网飞（Netflix）平台的现代标准阿拉伯语内嵌字幕。随后要求会员填写基于微软表单（Microsoft Forms）制作的李克特式调查问卷（Likert-type Questionnaire）。研究人员同时采用滚雪球抽样法（Snowball Sampling），要求受访对象将问卷链接分享给其他听障同伴。本次研究共回收126份问卷：其中20份用于预实验，即检验调查问卷的信度，剩余106份问卷则纳入本研究的数据集。研究人员统计了选择‘完全同意’或‘同意’某题项的受访者占比，并计算了每道题项的均值标准误（standard error of the mean，简写为M (S.E.)）。本数据集可供致力于探究语内字幕对听障受众影响的译员与字幕制作者参考。政策制定者与政府可借助本数据集明确该少数群体的需求，并采取行动推动国家级电视频道在各类节目中添加语内翻译字幕。
