Outline of this paper: In this paper, we conducted a meta-analysis based on research data on the perception of emotional information in seven languages (Brazil-Portuguese, Japanese, French, German, Cantonese, English, and Hindi) and analyzed the common pattern of attitude perception to voice image stimulation. An analysis of 16 types of emotional voices by 88 speakers based on free labeling data showed that "unpredictability" and "evaluation - pleasure - discomfort" were extracted as the main meaning dimensions, and that "revitalization - awakening" and "force - control" also contributed to the composition of attitudes. 13 Cluster analysis suggested that while many attitudes were consistently identified across cultures, cultural differences were observed in patterns of irony and recognition, suggesting that they could be misunderstood between languages.
