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动作捕捉系统（Vicon motion capture system），采集了演员通过行走步态表达不同情绪的动作数据。基于上述采集的步态素材，本研究制作了全光源刺激与点光源（point-light）刺激样本，并将其展示给感知观察者。此后，研究借助点光源实验的结果，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）刺激样本，并再次将其展示给感知观察者。本数据集的情绪识别率首先由原始得分计算得到Hu与Hc得分（详细说明参见Wagner, 1993），随后进一步转换为Ht识别率。
