A lot of researchers paid more attention to recognizing emotions that conveyed by visual information, for example, facial expressions. However, people can often understand others’ emotions and intentions by isolated speech cues, in the absence of visual cues. During speech communication, listeners form an impression about the speaker’s emotion state according to changes in pitch, loudness, rhythm, and voice quality (emotional prosody).Wang, Su, and He (2012) found that children were more incline to rely on prosody cues to identify the emotion of the speaker when the prosody and semantic cues were contradictory (e.g. a sad event was expressed by a happy prosody cue). Elfenbein and Ambady (2002) indicated that recognition accuracy was higher when emotions were both expressed and perceived by members of the same cultural group, which was called in-group advantage. Individuals from different cultural backgrounds recognize facial expressions involving universal principle. Evidence of cross-cultural agreement in recognizing emotions from a speaker’s vocal expressions has less been reported. . To explore whether vocal emotion expressions varied across cultures, 42 participants (21 Chinese university students, 21 Polish university students) were asked to judge five emotions (happiness, fear, anger, sadness and neutral) and give an emotional intensity evaluation among 3 options (slight, medium and strong) of a Chinese man and a Chinese woman from cues that conveyed by expressing neutrally semantic sentences in different prosody. A correct response to judging each type of emotion was scored with 1 and an incorrect response with 0. Giving a slight level of emotional evaluation was scored with 1, giving a medium level of emotional evaluation was scored with 2, and giving a strong level of emotional evaluation was scored with 3. The total score range of judging five emotions expressed by a man or a woman was from 0 to 5 separately. And the total score range of giving emotional intensity evaluation of four emotions expressed by a man or a woman was from 0 to 15 respectively. We conducted two repeated measures ANOVAs with scores of correct judging emotions and scores of emotional intensity evaluation as dependent variables separately, and with type of cultures (China and Poland), the sex of auditory materials (a man and a woman) and type of emotions (happiness, fear, anger, sadness and neutral) as within-subject independent variables. The results indicated that Chinese listeners performed significantly better than Polish listeners both in emotional category perception and in emotional intensity evaluation. All the participants scored higher in perceiving a woman’s vocal cues than in perceiving a man’s. Fear was the easiest emotion to be identified, while neutrality was the most difficult one. From the results, it was suggested that in-group advantage existed.
