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

TL;DR: Data on the set's validity based on ratings by 20 healthy adult raters should give researchers confidence in the NIMH‐ChEFS's validity for use in affective and social neuroscience research.

Real-Time Movie-Induced Discrete Emotion Recognition from EEG Signals
TL;DR: A real-time movie-induced emotion recognition system for identifying an individual's emotional states through the analysis of brain waves from EEG signals with the advantage over the existing state-of-the-art real- time emotion recognition systems in terms of classification accuracy and the ability to recognise similar discrete emotions that are close in the valence-arousal coordinate space.

Double attention bias for positive and negative emotional faces in clinical depression: evidence from an eye-tracking study.

TL;DR: The results of this study support the notion that attentional biases in depression are specific to depression-related information and that they operate in later stages in the deployment of attention.

Why Does Positive Mental Health Buffer Against Psychopathology? An Exploratory Study on Self-Compassion as a Resilience Mechanism and Adaptive Emotion Regulation Strategy
TL;DR: Findings suggest that especially individuals with high levels of positive mental health possess self-compassion skills that promote resilience against psychopathology, and these might function as an adaptive emotion regulation strategy and protect against the activation of schema related to psychopathology following state negative affective experiences.

Identifying Stable Patterns over Time for Emotion Recognition from EEG
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated stable patterns of electroencephalogram (EEG) over time for emotion recognition using a machine learning approach, and the experimental results indicate that stable patterns exhibit consistency across sessions; the lateral temporal areas activate more for positive emotion than negative one in beta and gamma bands.

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.

An argument for basic emotions
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.
