O uso do método psicofísico para julgamento de respostas emocionais em obras de arte abstrata / The use of the psychophysical method for judging emotional responses in works of abstract art

Gaddi, Carlo Martins 14 December 2017 (has links)
A fruição estética envolve um processo ativo de percepção visual e interpretação de informação capaz de evocar sensações, emoções, e sentimentos. A estética experimental busca entender como artistas utilizam elementos visuais em suas obras e como esses elementos são processados à nível consciente no indivíduo. Diversos experimentos psicológicos e pesquisas recentes em neuroestética permitiram acesso quantitativo sobre julgamento estético. O presente trabalho realizou dois experimentos psicofísicos que permitiram medir julgamento emocional em obras de arte abstrata. Experimento 1. Objetivo: realizar uma tarefa de ordenamento de obras de arte para adjetivos de emoção. 55 participantes (55% sexo feminino, idade média: 31; SD: 11). Foram calculadas as correlações entre as emoções, podendo compará-las com o modelo circular afetivo, e os resultados se mostraram satisfatórios. Experimento 2. Objetivo: desenvolver uma escala psicofísica utilizando o caso V da lei do julgamento comparativo a fim de estabelecer as distâncias subjetivas dos julgamentos emocionais para obras de arte abstrata. 39 participantes (52% sexo feminino, idade média: 28; SD: 10). A formulação psicofísica feita idealmente para julgamento discriminatório de estímulos físicos simples pôde ser aplicada em julgamento discriminatório subjetivo e de bastante complexidade. O uso do escalonamento psicofísico permitiu um eficiente acesso quantitativo das distâncias dos julgamentos das emoções em cada obra de arte. 10 Espera-se que o trabalho proposto permita, através de uma reconciliação interdisciplinar entre neurociência e psicologia, novas abordagens e métodos livres de vieses subjetivos para o estudo de julgamento estético / Aesthetic appreciation involves a process of visual perception and interpretation capable of evoking sensations, emotions and feelings. Experimental aesthetics seeks to understand how artists use elements in their works and how these elements are processed in the individual in a conscientious level. Several psychological experiments and recent researches in neuroesthetics allowed quantitative access on aesthetic judgment. The present work carried out two psychophysical experiments that allow measuring emotional judgment in works of abstract art. Experiment 1. Objective: to carry out a task of ordering works of art for adjectives of emotion. 55 participants (55% female, mean age: 31; SD: 11). They were calculated as correlations between emotions, being able to compare them with the affective circular model, and the results were satisfactory. Experiment 2. Objective: to develop a psychophysical scale using case V the law of comparative judgment in order to establish as subjective distances from emotional judgments to abstract works of art. 39 participants (52% female, mean age: 28; SD: 10). A psychophysical formulation ideally made for discriminatory judgment of simple physical stimuli was applied in subjective and complex discriminatory judgment. The use of psychophysical scaling allowed an efficient access to the distances of the judgments of the emotions in each work of art. It is expected that the proposed work will allow, through an interdisciplinary reconciliation between neuroscience and psychology, new approaches and methods free of bias for the study of aesthetic judgment.

A bayesian solution for the law of categorical judgment with category boundary variability and examination of robustness to model violations

King, David R. 12 January 2015 (has links)
Previous solutions for the the Law of Categorical Judgment with category boundary variability have either constrained the standard deviations of the category boundaries in some way or have violated the assumptions of the scaling model. In the current work, a fully Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo solution for the Law of Categorical Judgment is given that estimates all model parameters (i.e. scale values, category boundaries, and the associated standard deviations). The importance of measuring category boundary standard deviations is discussed in the context of previous research in signal detection theory, which gives evidence of interindividual variability in how respondents perceive category boundaries and even intraindividual variability in how a respondent perceives category boundaries across trials. Although the measurement of category boundary standard deviations appears to be important for describing the way respondents perceive category boundaries on the latent scale, the inclusion of category boundary standard deviations in the scaling model exposes an inconsistency between the model and the rating method. Namely, with category boundary variability, the scaling model suggests that a respondent could experience disordinal category boundaries on a given trial. However, the idea that a respondent actually experiences disordinal category boundaries seems unlikely. The discrepancy between the assumptions of the scaling model and the way responses are made at the individual level indicates that the assumptions of the model will likely not be met. Therefore, the current work examined how well model parameters could be estimated when the assumptions of the model were violated in various ways as a consequence of disordinal category boundary perceptions. A parameter recovery study examined the effect of model violations on estimation accuracy by comparing estimates obtained from three response processes that violated the assumptions of the model with estimates obtained from a novel response process that did not violate the assumptions of the model. Results suggest all parameters in the Law of Categorical Judgment can be estimated reasonably well when these particular model violations occur, albeit to a lesser degree of accuracy than when the assumptions of the model are met.

Avaliação externa baseada no pluralismo epistemológico : um estudo sobre o tema "Ser Humano" e "Saúde" no estado de Sergipe

Souza, Sanny Santos de 31 March 2016 (has links)
Science education is marked by conceptual plurality, fundamental aspect for learning activities. However, the evaluation is scarcely associated with these theoretical perspectives. Most exams verify student’s knowledge by one parameter, by an answer considered correct. This study, therefore, aims to construct and validate questions for an instrument focused in evaluating school performance for the elementary school in Sergipe over the axis of “Human Being” and “Health” inspired in the epistemological diversity of knowledge. Among the theories developed based on the theoretical perspective, alternative conceptions guide the present work. The resource being developed comprehends formation in natural sciences in elementary school, therefore applied in a sample of students of the 9o (ninth) year of state public education of Sergipe. A reference matrix was built to guide the instrument. The reference matrix considers the topics of Anatomy, Physiology, Diseases, Life Quality and Prophylactic Measurements. The goals of their descriptors were elaborated from the National Curriculum Parameters (NCP). The performance test elaborated from matrix has 10 questions, each one of them presenting four phrases. The Thurstone scale inspires the instrument. Question alternatives oscillate between scholar education and common sense, where some questions present all correct answers, and other present conceptual mistakes. The alternatives differ from scientific knowledge differently. Students respond to the question that seems more correct to them, being thus possible to estimate which knowledge is used in order to solve problems. If the knowledge is closer to the scientific or if in daily use common sense, dominate their activities. In order to ensure credibility, the test was validated qualitatively and through commented application by judges and quantitatively analyzed by descriptive statistics on Software Package for Social Science (SPSS) 18.0. / O ensino de ciências é marcado pela pluralidade conceitual, aspecto este fundamental para a aprendizagem. Entretanto, a avaliação é pouco associada à essas perspectivas teóricas. A maioria dos exames verifica o conhecimento dos alunos através de um parâmetro, de uma resposta considerada correta. Faltam testes que considerem a diversidade de saberes, sua existência e influência para a aprendizagem. Objetiva-se portanto, com este estudo, construir e validar questões para um instrumento de avaliação do desempenho escolar para o ensino fundamental em Sergipe sobre o eixo “Ser Humano” e “Saúde” inspirado na diversidade epistemológica do conhecimento. Dentre as teorias desenvolvidas com base nessa perspectiva teórica, as concepções alternativas balizam o presente trabalho. O recurso em desenvolvimento compreende a formação em ciências naturais no ensino fundamental, portanto aplicado em uma amostra de alunos do 9º (nono) ano da rede pública estadual de Sergipe. Uma matriz de referência foi construída para nortear o instrumento. A matriz de referência construída aborda os conteúdos de Anatomia, Fisiologia, Doenças, Qualidade de Vida e Medidas Profiláticas. Os objetivos dos seus descritores foram elaborados segundo os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN). O teste de desempenho elaborado a partir da matriz conta com dez questões, cada questão com quatro sentenças. O instrumento é inspirado na escala de Thurstone. As alternativas das perguntas oscilam entre o conhecimento escolar e o conhecimento comum, podem ocorrer questões nas quais todas as alternativas estão corretas, outras podem conter erros conceituais. As alternativas estão a diferentes distâncias do conhecimento científico. Os alunos responderam com a resposta que lhe parece mais correta, sendo possível assim, aferir qual conhecimento é manifestado na hora de resolver problemas. Se o conhecimento dos alunos está mais próximo do senso científico, ou se no seu dia-a-dia o senso comum domina suas atividades. Para garantir sua credibilidade o teste foi validado qualitativamente por juízes e aplicação comentada e quantitativamente analisada por estatística descritiva no Software Package for Social Science (SPSS) 18.0.
