Abstract

Introduction: Auditory Emotional Recognition (AER) is the ability to recognize emotional states in others, emphasizing prosodic characteristics, such as tone, intensity, and frequency. The literature on this area is scarce and there are currently no validated AER stimuli set in Latin America.

Objective: to evaluate a set of AER stimuli in a sample of the Chilean adult population.

Material and methods: 140 adults between 18 and 50 years of age answered an online form that contained the battery of auditory stimuli and associated questions. The stimuli were elaborated through a synthetic modulator according to the parameters suggested in the literature. Participants were asked to associate auditory stimuli with emotional states.

Results: F0M characteristic is key for the recognition of the joy and anger emotions, F0SD is important for the sadness emotion and HF500 for the anger emotion, and significant differences were found between the response means between participants who reported and not reported a psychiatric disorder.

Conclusions: several of the stimuli tested were evaluated by the participants as representative of some emotional state in high proportion. Further validation studies are recommended, evaluating the degree of agreement of the responses, and performing factorial analysis
