“…This finding does seem to contradict Davitz' (1964) assertion that only the perceived activity level of emotions is comnaunicated by nonverbal aspects of speech whereas the evaluation and potency dimensions of emotional meaning are represented by verbal cues. If this assumption held, one would expect interaction effects in the present results, as the ratings of the evaluational dimension of the inferred emotions should differ between the rater group listening to the original, unmasked speech samples and all other groups of raters.…”

“…The present data do not allow strong inferences as to which paralinguistic cues specifically carry evaluational information, but the patterns of correlations in Table VII seem to suggest that amplitude and rate of speech are related to ratings of the pleasanmess of an emotion. In spite of his numerical results, Davitz' (1964) listing of the vocal cues associated with certain emotions tends to indicate the important role of amplitude, rate of speech~ and, in addition, pitch level and intonation contour (both in terms of pitch variations and upward or downward slope) in relation to evaluative aspects of the respective emotions. Of these variables, only amplitude and pitch level and variation remain unaffected by random splicing whereas rate of speech is partially masked and the shape of the pitch contour is broken up completely.…”

“…Cutting of all high-frequency components of the voice spectrum seems to lead to the perception of a lowered activity level on the part of the judges as indicated by higher ratings for easy, calm, peaceful, and steady-all of which seem to connote a general dampening of perceived variability in the speech signal. It has been shown (Davitz, 1964) that pitch, amplitude, timbre, and rate of speech are related to the subjectively rated activity level of emotions inferred from vocal behavior. It can be argued that the activity level of an emotional state is communicated by pitch and amplitude variations rather than their absolute levels or possibly by combinations of levels and variations.…”

“…The adjective pairs were chosen from Osgood et aL (1957) and Davitz (1964) in such a way as to represent the evaluation, activity, and potency dimensions. In addition, some adjective pairs describing acoustic phenomena were included.…”

“…Department of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, 3815 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19104. This research has demonstrated the ability of listener-judges to identify accurately role-played emotional expression from content-free speech such as letters or numerals, standard text, and content-filtered speech (Kramer, 1963a(Kramer, , 1964Davitz, 1964;Vetter, 1969). Earlier research had identified some of the vocal cues that seem to carry emotional meaning such as pitch level (Ruckmick, 1936), amplitude, rate of speech (Fairbanks and Hoaglin, 1941), and sequential pattern of the speech flow (Dusenberry and Knower, 1939;Knower, 1941).…”

The inheritance and creative design of traditional color scheme based on modern consumer's psychological perception: Taking Chinese traditional decorative pattern's color collocation as an example

Color Research & Application

Color in traditional decorative patterns is one of the most important characteristics that can not only be easily identified, but also be taken as a specific symbol of one country or nation. As most of the traditional color schemes are based on ancient aesthetics and wisdom, in order to make them more in line with the aesthetic cognition of modern consumers, an innovation of traditional color schemes is very necessary. This article conducted an experiment to test modern consumers' psychological perception towards different traditional color combinations based on PAD three‐dimensional model and SAM measurement scale. Then the computer image recognition technology and mathematical modeling were applied to establish the relationship between different psychological perceptions and traditional color schemes to guide further design. It was found that some colors have a positive effect on consumers' preference, while some others can reduce consumers' preference; certain color combinations convey feelings of joy or warmth; the appropriate use of high saturation and moderate value colors have more attractions for consumers. Based on the results, new combination schemes for traditional colors were presented, so as to realize the creative design of traditional colors based on the psychological perception of modern consumers.

Counselor Educator Nonverbal Behavior in the Supervision Process

Sixteen counselor educators and counselors-in-training participated in a content analysis study that investigated supervisors' nonverbal behaviors in the supervision process.The investigation displays the high-tdow frequency of 2 1 identified nonverbal behaviors of supervisors and indicates a statistically significant association and consistency among the supervisors' nonverbal behaviors. It implies the applicability of these behaviors to counselor supervision and training, provides a methodological approach for the further investigation of nonverbal behavior in actual supervision and counseling situations, and suggests that counselor educators should not overlook these variables in systematic research or their influence in the supervision process with novice counselors.Counselor educators and counselors have presented, investigated, argued for, and applied many differing theoretical orientations and techniques regarding counseling and counselor education. As a result, the importance of certain variables in the counseling process has been revealed. Concomitantly, differing theoretical orientations and strategies applicable to counselor education and training also exist (Arbuckle, 1965; Mazer 8c Engle, 1968;Mueller & Kell, 1972;Ohlsen, 1974; Patterson, 1974). Unlike the counseling process, there has been much less systematic investigation and application of study results to the supervisory process.Seligman and Baldwin (1972) describe the need for investigations concerning the "how" and "what" of supervision, and the continued study of the intricacies and unspoken assumptions that develop in the supervisory relationship. Considering the need for systematic investigations of the supervision process, and to partially address the issues presented by Seligman and Baldwin (1972), a content analysis study was conducted to investigate the nonverbal behaviors of supervisors as aspects of the how and what of supervision.Results of the study provide information regarding the reliable identification of supervisors' nonverbal behaviors. They also indicate DECEMBER 1979101
