Preliminary Establishment of Emotion-Inducing Library of Chinese Folk Music and Embodying Effect in Emotion Inducing

Emotion induction and the study of the relationship between human behavior and emotion are the foundation of affective computing. In order to establish a library of emotion-inducing materials suitable for Chinese people and explore the expression characteristics of Chinese subjects’ emotions, first 30 segments of Chinese folk music were selected as the inducing materials, and then two groups of emotion-induced controlled experiments were designed. Four subjects participated in the experiment. In both experiments, Chinese folk music was used to induce emotion, and subjects were asked to score in PAD scale. In the first group, the subjects sat comfortably in the seats, while in the second group, they could express their bodies freely according to their understanding of musical emotions. The results show that 30 segments of Chinese folk music can effectively induce the positive, neutral and negative emotions, and there is consistency between human body behavior and individual emotion expression.
