Assessing the effectiveness of a large database of emotion-eliciting films : a new tool for emotion researchers
TLDR
In this article, the authors developed and tested the effectiveness of a new and comprehensive set of emotional film excerpts and found that the film clips were effective with regard to several criteria such as emotional discreteness, arousal, positive and negative affect.Abstract:
Using emotional film clips is one of the most popular and effective methods of emotion elicitation. The main goal of the present study was to develop and test the effectiveness of a new and comprehensive set of emotional film excerpts. Fifty film experts were asked to remember specific film scenes that elicited fear, anger, sadness, disgust, amusement, tenderness, as well as emotionally neutral scenes. For each emotion, the 10 most frequently mentioned scenes were selected and cut into film clips. Next, 364 participants viewed the film clips in individual laboratory sessions and rated each film on multiple dimensions. Results showed that the film clips were effective with regard to several criteria such as emotional discreteness, arousal, positive and negative affect. Finally, ranking scores were computed for 24 classification criteria: Subjective arousal, positive and negative affect (derived from the PANAS; Watson & Tellegen, 1988), a positive and a negative affect scores derived from the Differential Emotions Scale (DES; Izard et al., 1974), six emotional discreteness scores (for anger, disgust, sadness, fear, amusement and tenderness), and 15 “mixed feelings” scores assessing the effectiveness of each film excerpt to produce blends of specific emotions. In addition, a number of emotionally neutral film clips were also validated. The database and editing instructions to construct the film clips have been made freely available in a website.read more

Capturing Laughter and Smiles under Genuine Amusement vs. Negative Emotion
TL;DR: While this work relies on a state-of-the-art smile recognizer, for laughter recognition its transfer learning architecture enhanced on modest data outperforms other models with up to 85% accuracy, suggesting this technique as promising for improving affect models.

Enough is enough: how much intonation is needed in the vocal delivery of audio description?
TL;DR: In this article , the authors report on an experiment examining audience experience when two different audio description (AD) intonation types are used, i.e., adapted and emphatic, and find that participants strongly preferred adapted intonations, particularly when presented clips were evoking negative emotions.

Development and validation of brief measures of positive and negative affect: The PANAS scales.
TL;DR: Two 10-item mood scales that comprise the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are developed and are shown to be highly internally consistent, largely uncorrelated, and stable at appropriate levels over a 2-month time period.

TL;DR: This work has shown that not only the intensity of an emotion but also its direction may vary greatly both in the amygdala and in the brain during the course of emotion regulation.

TL;DR: Reappraisal decreased disgust experience, whereas suppression increased sympathetic activation, suggesting that these 2 emotion regulatory processes may have different adaptive consequences.
