Abstract

النظام الدولي للصور الانفعالية هو قاعدة بيانات من الصور الموحدة التي تستعمل في دراسة الانفعال والانتباه، وقد سعت هذه الدراسة إلى البحث عن مدى موثوقية وصلاحية هذه الصور لإثارة انفعالات المغاربة. لذلك قام 123 طالبا مغربيا (75 أنثى؛ الفترة العمرية: 18-51) ينتمون إلى شعبة علم النفس بجامعة سيدي محمد بن عبد الله بفاس، بتقييم المتعة والاثارة والهيمنة ل 238 صورة تمثيلية طبقية من صور النظام الدولي للصور الانفعالية، باستخدام دمية التقييم الذاتي (SAM). وقد بينت قيم الموثوقية تناسق داخلي كبير في تقييمات المشاركين. كما أوضحت نتائج المقارنة بين تقييمات عينتنا والعينة الأمريكية ارتباطا كبيرا (0.94 للمتعة، 0.75 للهيمنة، 0.70 للإثارة) وهو ما يشير إلى أن تقييمات العينتين متشابهة. علاوة على هذا تجسد توزيع الصور التي تم تقييمها في الفضاء الانفعالي للمتعة والاثارة على شكل جناح دوار كما هو الأمر في العينة الامريكية، مع وضوح أكثر في العينة المغربية. وتؤكد هذه النتائج صلاحية استخدام صور النظام الدولي للصور الانفعالية لإثارة انفعالات المغاربة.
