Resumen
[EN]The study of emotion abilities is of interest to Artificial Intelligence because identifying and responding
approp
riately to the affective states of humans is thought to make users more prone to interact with robots.
However, cross
-
cultural differences in social communication are common.
The CAD (Contempt, Anger,
Disgust) hypothesis proposes that these three emotions
are elicited by different violations of moral codes.
Our exploratory study of texts from a corpus of Spanish contextualized words shows that both the emotion
receiver and its perceived cause are different for these emotions: disgust takes as its object mos
tly
something concrete, anger is preferentially felt towards another person, and contempt towards an abstract
object. In Spain, disgust was associated with prejudice, and anger with altruistic motives while contempt
remained the most elusive of the triad.
In Latin America, both disgust and contempt were associated with
prejudice, while the altruistic function of anger failed to reach significance. Differences concerning the
moral functions of anger and contempt corroborate that the cultural context in which
emotions are expressed
can change their moral meaning.
The procedure is an ecologically valid one that can be of help for
designing more realistic social robots
