Abstract
Objectives : The Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) developed by Bradley and Lang is a non-verbal pictorial assessment tool that measures human emotion and has been widely used. However, the pictures in SAM have not been easy for Korean subjects to understand or relate to. The authors developed a new manikin (Emotional Valence and Arousal Manikin, EVAS) modeling it after Korean faces while modifying and standardizing the SAM. Methods : Forty-one healthy subjects participated in this study. They were asked to rate the emotional valence and level of arousal using both the SAM and EVAS after being exposed to pictures of facial expressions for affective neurosciences-Korean version. The internal consistency of the EVAS and the correlation between EVAS and SAM were examined. Resuts : Internal consistencies of the valence using the EVAS were from 0.63 (surprise) to 0.82 (happiness) and those of the arousal were from 0.90 to 0.95. Correlation coefficients of the valence and arousal between the SAM and EVAS were from 0.61 (both surprise and disgust) to 0.84 (neutral) and from 0.82 (sadness) to 0.94 (fear), respectively. Conclusions : We developed a new manikin (the EVAS) for the Korean population modifying and standardizing the SAM. The EVAS demonstrated a good internal consistency and validity. As such, it can be used in the field of human emotion research.
