碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 園藝學系研究所 === 86 === Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the i nfluence on emotional experiences of physical and aesthetic attribu tes in urban sculpture sites. Physical attributes are: two catalogues of outdoor space arealarger than 100㎡and smaller than 100㎡, two catalogues of sculpture dimension isthe multiplication of the maximum widt h and height larger than 20㎡and smaller than 20㎡, as well as two kinds of sculpture material? metal and stone have been examined as the af fecting factors. Aesthetic attributes was theme, simplicity, mass, com plexity, technology, balance, and contrast, according to the literature. The emotional experiences survey was proceeded right on the spots which was selected according to the investigation results of sculpture sites in Taipei. The aesthetic scores was obtained from professional sculptors. Statistic methods such as factor analysis, T-test, and correlation w ere employed to examine the consequence. The results are summarized as follow: 1. Four fu ndamental emotional experiences are found through factor analysis. They are distressing-fearful, leisurely-calm, exhilarating-joyful, and disorder-a wful. 2. Different space area with consistent sculpture types lead to distinct emotional responses on leisurely-calm. Different s culpture dimensions with the same material in the same catalogue of sp ace area lead to distinct emotional responses on distressing- fearful, leisurely-calm, exhilarating-joyful. And different sculpture materials lead t o distinct emotional responses on distressing-fearful. 3. For "distressing-fearful" emotional responses, the most sensible status was setting the larger dimension metal sculptures on t he sites in larger area. For "leisurely-calm", the answer was on setting the smaller metal sculptures on the larger sites. For "exhil arating-joyful", setting the larger metal sculptures on the smaller sites coul d bring to the extreme situation. 4. Whatever on the larger or smaller spaces, the str ongest emotional responses toward the larger sculptures was "exhilarat ing-joyful", and the most favored emotional responses toward the smaller sculptures was "leisurely-calm". 5. T he correlation between the degrees of aesthetic attributes and emotional respo nses only happened on "exhilarating-joyful" for all research sites. Cha racters about theme, technology, and contrast of sculpture would lead t o this emotional experience. In different catalogue of physical si tuation of sculpture-site status, aesthetic attributes would have correla tion with different emotional experiences. Ke y Words: emotional experience, sculpture, sites, physical attribute, aesthetic attribute.
