Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Previous research revealed that nonverbal touch can communicate several emotions. Here we compared the perception of emotions from touch with that from voice in order to examine the relative specificities of each modality. In our experiment, the encoder expressed 12 emotions including higher-order emotions by touch or voice, and the decoder judged the expressed emotion. Results showed that the accuracies of touch and voice were almost the same level in total. Interestingly, positive emotions such as love and gratitude were perceived more accurately from touch, while negative emotions such as sadness and disgust were perceived accurately from voice.
