The Emotion Word Type Effect in Chinese Reading not Moderated by Valence:Evidence from Eye-Tracking
In the current study,we investigated how the type(label or laden)and the valence(positive or negative)of the emotion words affect the Chinese reading processing,with embedding different types of emotion words into the same sentence frame.The eye movement data was collected.The results showed that emotion-label words were fixated significantly longer than emotion-laden words,which was not moderated by valence.Additionally,positive words were fixated significantly shorter than negative words,confirming the advantage of semantic processing for positive words and supporting the density hypothesis.These findings suggest that the emotion word type differently affect the lexical access in Chinese reading.The emotional information has a more pronounced effect on emotion-label words,captivating readers'attention and leading to increased involvement and difficulty in disengagement.
