Abstract

The factors influencing poetry’s aesthetic appreciation are largely unknown. Some studies have reported features that affect the aesthetic appreciation of poetry. This study sought to determine which states and traits predict the aesthetic appeal of haiku poetry. We recruited 277 participants to rate 36 haiku on five characteristics: imagery vividness, stimulus valence, arousal, valence of felt emotion, and aesthetic appeal of haiku. Then, participants completed questionnaires that assessed their own traits. We found both valence of felt emotion and imagery vividness generally predicted haiku’s aesthetic appeal; additionally, the influence of imagery vividness on aesthetic appeal was partially mediated by valence of felt emotion. As mental imagery fosters emotional evocation, vivid imagery increases positive felt emotions associated with aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the traits of visual imagery ability, awe-proneness, and nostalgia-proneness predicted haiku’s aesthetic appeal. This study advances our knowledge of how individual states and traits determine the aesthetic appeal of haiku.

个体状态与特质对俳句审美的影响

影响诗歌审美的因素在很大程度上是未知的。一些研究报告了影响诗歌审美的特征。本研究试图确定哪些状态和特征可以预测俳句诗歌的审美吸引力。我们招募了277名参与者，对36首俳句的五个特征进行评分：意象生动性、刺激性、唤醒性、情感感受性和审美吸引力。然后，参与者完成问卷调查，评估他们自己的特点。我们发现，感觉情感的效价和意象的生动性通常预示着俳句的审美情趣；此外，意象的生动性对审美情趣的影响在一定程度上受到情感效价的调节。随着心理意象促进情感唤起，生动的意象增加了与审美吸引力相关的积极情感。此外，视觉意象能力、敬畏倾向和怀旧倾向的特点也预示着俳句的审美魅力。这项研究加深了我们对个人状态和特质如何决定俳句美学吸引力的认识。
