Abstract

In the present study, a new Real Time Subjective Evaluation (RTSSE) system was developed. The system is composed of two parts: a sensibility input part and sensibility evaluation part. The sensibility input part receives values, which are recorded on an input board using a stylus and digital tablet, from each subject's evaluation of his/her own subjective sensibility towards a particular stimulus. The sensibility evaluation part displays the level of pleasantness and arousal on one or two dimensions in real time. An experiment was conducted in order to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the RTSSE system. The present study compared Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) with the RTSSE by presenting 28 subjects in their 20s with pictures arousing either positive or negative sensibility. Following the experiment, an off-line subjective assessment using a questionnaire was given to the same subjects. According to the correlation coefficients, changes in subjective sensibility caused by the positive visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR, from the positive visual stimulus, and changes in subjective sensibility caused by the negative visual stimulus were related more closely to GSR from the negative visual stimulus. The questionnaire results showed marked similarity to the average responses of the RTSSE. In conclusion, the most remarkable characteristic of the present system is that it not only assesses the average sensibility when stimuli are presented, but also shows the changing strength of sensibility over time.

본 연구에서는 인간의 주관적 감성 변화를 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 펜 마우스와 디지타이저론 이용하여 인간의 감성 변화론 실시간으로 입력 받을 수 있는 입력 부분과. 쾌도 및 긴장도의 감성 변화즐 실시간으로 측정하고 평가할 수 있는 감성평가 및 디스플레이 부분으로 구성되어있다. 본 연구에서는 된 시스템의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여 하나의 실험을 수행하였다. 20명의 20대 남녀 피험자를 대상으로 긍정 감성과 부정 감성을 유발시킬 수 있는 사진을 각각 1장식 제시하면서 실시간 주관적 감성 평가와 함께 Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)를 실시간으로 측정하였고, 실험이 종료된 후 설문지를 이용하여 비 실시간 주관적 감성 평가를 실시하였다. 이를 통해 실시간 및 비 실시간 주관적 감성 평가, 생리 신호 평가의 결과들을 비교하였다. 상관관계 계수의 비교로부터 긍정 사진 자극으로 유발된 실시간 주관적 감성 변화는 부정 사진 자극으로 유발된 GSR 반응과, 부정 사진 자극으로 유발된 실시간 주관적 감성 변화는 부정 사진 자극으로 유발된 GSR 반응과 더 밀접한 관계가 있었다. 또한 설문지를 이용한 비 실시간 주관적 감성 평가 결과는 실시간 주관적 감성 평가의 누적된 평균 감성 값과 유사하였다. 이러한 결과로부터, 본 시스템의 가장 큰 특징은 시간에 따라 시시각각으로 변하는 인간의 주관적 감성 크기 변화를 관찰할 수 있다는 것과 자극제시 기간 동안의 평균적인 감성 평가가 가능하다는 것이다.
