The purpose of the present study was to assess whether the recognition of tennis players’ affective state associated with their nonverbal behavior would be influenced by (a) the importance of the situation, (b) the point outcome, and (c) the tennis expertise of the observer. Two hundred sixty-nine participants (M_age = 30.51 years; 116 female; 79 tennis club members) watched video excerpts showing the nonverbal behavior of amateur tennis players during competitive matches immediately after the end of a rally and were asked to estimate whether the player had just won or lost the point. Results indicate that the recognition rates were higher for situations closer to the end of a game, closer to the end of a set, and with a tighter score during a game. Moreover, recognition rates were higher for lost than for won points, while the tennis expertise of participants had no influence on the recognition rates.

本研究的目的是评估对网球运动员与其非语言行为相关的情感状态的识别是否会受到以下因素的影响：(a) 情况的重要性，(b) 得分结果，以及 (c) 网球专业知识观察者的。269 名参与者（M_年龄 = 30.51 岁；116 名女性；79 名网球俱乐部成员）观看了显示业余网球选手在比赛结束后立即进行的非语言行为的视频片段，并被要求估计该选手是刚刚赢了还是输了分。结果表明，对于接近比赛结束、接近比赛结束以及比赛中比分更紧的情况，识别率更高。此外，失分的识别率高于赢分，而参与者的网球专业知识对识别率没有影响。
