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

Influence du Mouvement Elémentaire sur la perception des émotions
Abstract: L’objectif de notre these a ete d’etudier de maniere precise les interactions entre les emotions et trois mouvements elementaires (i.e., de vagues, parabolique et translationnel). Une premiere etude a permis de verifier que le mouvement de vagues ameliore la perception d’expressions faciales emotionnelles positives alors que le mouvement parabolique ameliore la perception d’expressions faciales emotionnelles negatives (Chafi, Schiaratura, & Rusinek, 2012), phenomene de « congruence Emotion-Mouvement ». De plus amples recherches constituant notre seconde etude ont mis en evidence qu’augmenter l’intensite emotionnelle et la validite ecologique des stimuli (i.e., des extraits de films) a mene a des effets d’inconsistance, qui se caracterisent par le fait que le mouvement parabolique augmente l’intensite emotionnelle du film tres positif alors que le mouvement de vagues augmente l’intensite emotionnelle du film tres negatif. Nous postulons que ces effets sont dus au mecanisme de contre-Regulation decrit par Rothermund (2003). Une reflexion consequente sur la cognition incarnee nous a menes a une troisieme etude s’interessant a la verticalite, montrant que le mouvement parabolique ameliore les competences mnesiques et psychomotrices seulement lorsqu’il effectue une trajectoire descendante. L’exposition au mouvement elementaire semble donc avoir un impact sur les spheres emotionnelle (auto-Evaluations), cognitive (tâche de memoire) et comportementale (tâche de decomptage). Les donnees susmentionnees peuvent etre representees dans un modele en reseaux associatifs du type Power et Dalgleish (2008), reprenant fortement celui de Bower (1981).
