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

Neural representations of awe: Distinguishing common and distinct neural mechanisms.
Ryota Takano,Michio Nomura +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that both awe experiences deactivated the left middle temporal gyrus (MTG) in contrast to control conditions, which suggest that awe experiences generally involve the "schema liberation" process since the left MTG plays a critical role in matching existing schema to events.

Adults with Autism and Adults with Depression Show Similar Attentional Biases to Social-Affective Images.
TL;DR: Compared adults with ASD to typically developing adults with depression and never-depressed controls, using a paired preference paradigm sensitive to affective biases in the context of repetitive cognition reveals specific influences of repetitive behavior on patterns of affective bias.

Can the uncertainty appraisal associated with emotion cancel the effect of the hunch period in the Iowa Gambling Task
Thierry Bollon,Virginie Bagneux +1 more
TL;DR: Drawing on cognitive theories of emotions, whether uncertainty-associated emotion can cancel the positive effect of the hunch period in the IGT is tested, and disgusted participants and sad participants induced to feel certainty developed a stronger tendency towards advantageous decisions than sad participantsinduced to feel uncertainty.

TL;DR: The findings point to the validity and generalizability of the loudness, speech, motion, and face ratio models for complex cinematic stimuli (as well as for music in the case of loudness) and the potential usefulness of the approach and the resulting models in basic scientific and diagnostic contexts.

Recognition of Emotions in Video Clips: The Self- Assessment Manikin Validation
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of video-clip stimuli that embody four emotions under specific genres of movies, namely happiness, calmness, sadness and fear, were proposed and two experiments were conducted in order to validate the video clips.

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.
