Celem artykułu było zbadanie wpływu niepełnosprawności wzrokowej na umiejętność rozpoznawania i oceniania emocji podczas komunikacji. Przedstawione w artykule badanie z udziałem dorosłych osób niewidomych i widzących wskazuje, iż osoby niewidome mogą napotykać pewne trudności w rozpoznawaniu stanów emocjonalnych innych osób.

This study was designed to investigate whether people who are blind are able to recognise and judge negative emotions during natural communication similar to people who are sighted. In the current study, blind, sighted and blindfolded participants were given two tasks and they were tested on their ability to recognise target emotions (the emotion recognition task) and to judge the intensity of the emotions (the emotion judgement task). The results revealed significant differences between the groups in the recognition and judgement of negative emotions. The study shows that people who are blind may encounter difficulties in recognising emotions and judging their intensity during natural communication. This may be related to their lack of access to the speakers’ gestures, facial expressions and body postures

Despite great value of research into visual impairment (VI), there is a dearth of empirical studies in linguistics investigating the extent to which the sense of seeing impacts language development, processing and production. The lack of methodological rigour in previous studies as well as large diversity of the population, small incidence of visual impairment and little awareness of blind people’s needs make this field of study challenging for researchers. This article presents and discusses the most challenging aspects of performing experimental studies in the field of VI. The overarching aim of this paper is to guide good research practice which ensures robust and unbiased experimental design and at the same time respects individuality of people with VI.
