Abstract

The ‘traditional’ first two dimensions in emotion research are AROUSAL and VALENCE. Normally, they are obtained by using elicited, acted data. In this paper, we use realistic, spontaneous speech data from our ‘AIBO’ corpus (human-robot communication, children interacting with Sony’s AIBO robot). TherecordingsweredoneinaWizard-of-Ozscenario: the children believed that AIBO obeys their commands; in fact, AIBO followed a fixed script and often disobeyed. The emotional annotations of five labellers, transformed into a confusion matrix, were used in a non-metrical multi-dimensional scaling to display two dimensions, the first being VALENCE, the second, however, not AROUSAL but INTERACTION, i.e., addressing oneself (angry, joyful) or the communication partner (motherese, reprimanding). We show that it depends on the specifity of the scenario and on the subjects’ conceptualizations whether this new dimension can be observed, and discuss impacts on the practice of labelling and processing emotional data.
