Abstract

Previous emotion studies employing facial expressions have focused on the differences between age groups for each of the emotion categories. Instead, Kim (2021) has compared representations of facial expressions in the lower-dimensional emotion space. However, he reported descriptive comparisons without statistical significance testing. This research used representational similarity analysis (Kriegeskorte et al., 2008) to directly compare empirical datasets from young, middle-aged, and old groups and conceptual models. In addition, individual differences multidimensional scaling (Carroll & Chang, 1970) was conducted to explore individual weights on the emotional dimensions for each age group. The results revealed that the old group was the least similar to the other age groups in the empirical datasets and the valence model. In addition, the arousal dimension was the least weighted for the old group compared to the other groups. This study directly tested the differences between the three age groups in terms of empirical datasets, conceptual models, and weights on the emotion dimensions.

기존의 연령별 얼굴정서 인식 비교 연구에서는 정서별로 연령 간에 어떤 차이가 있는지 밝혔다. 이에 Kim(2021) 연구에서는 개별 정서가 아닌 정서공간에서 표상된 정서를 연령 간 비교하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으나, 기술적(descriptive) 비교만 시행하였을 뿐, 통계적 유의미 검증을 하지 않았다는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 표상 유사성 분석(representational similarity analysis) 방법을 통해 연령간 실제 데이터 및 정서 모델 유사성행렬을 직접적으로 비교하였다. 또한 개인차 다차원척도법(individual differences multidimensional scaling)을 통해 연령간 정서 차원에 대한 비중을 비교하였다. 그 결과 실제 데이터 비교에서 노년 집단은 청년 및 중년 집단과 가장 유사하지 않았으며, 쾌불쾌 차원이 포함된 정서 모델과의 유사성 비교에서도 가장 유사하지 않았다. 또한 노년 집단은 각성 차원에 대한 비중이 청년 및 중년 집단과 유사하지 않음이 발견되었다. 본 연구는 실제 데이터, 정서 모델, 그리고 정서 차원 비중이라는 세 가지 측정치에 대해 노년 집단과 청년 및 중년 집단과의 차이를 통계적으로 검증하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
