摘要：Many authors showed that dynamism in images increases emotional responses whether they were objectively or subjectively measured (Simons, Detenber, Reiss,andShults, 2000; Ravaja, 2004). The aim was to investigate the effects of three elementary motions on emotional films’ perception, given that these motions involved changes in the perception of static emotional images (Chafi, Schiaratura,andRusinek, 2012) and in the memorization of emotional words (Podevin, Chafi, Rusinek,andBékaert, 2012). Participants were shown short films validated by Schaefer, Nils, Sanchez, and Philippot (2010) in which were inlaid motion patterns from Chafi et al. (2012). Results indicated that a wave-like, translational and parabolic motion do not have the same effects on emotional self-reports. More precisely, data suggest that the translational motion increased positive film-induced feelings of happiness and agitation compared to the parabolic motion. Further research shall be directed towards more objective ways of investigation.
