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: Results show the potential uses of the recorded modalities and the significance of the emotion elicitation protocol and single modality and modality fusion results for both emotion recognition and implicit tagging experiments are reported.

TL;DR: The experiment results show that neural signatures associated with different emotions do exist and they share commonality across sessions and individuals, and the performance of deep models with shallow models is compared.

Regulatory Flexibility: An Individual Differences Perspective on Coping and Emotion Regulation.
TL;DR: A heuristic individual differences framework is proposed and research on three sequential components of flexibility for which propensities and abilities vary are reviewed: sensitivity to context, availability of a diverse repertoire of regulatory strategies, and responsiveness to feedback.

Multimodal Emotion Recognition in Response to Videos
TL;DR: The results over a population of 24 participants demonstrate that user-independent emotion recognition can outperform individual self-reports for arousal assessments and do not underperform for valence assessments.

Bodily maps of emotions
TL;DR: It is proposed that emotions are represented in the somatosensory system as culturally universal categorical somatotopic maps, and maps of bodily sensations associated with different emotions using a unique topographical self-report method.

The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life
TL;DR: The Emotional Brain this article investigates the origins of human emotions and explains that many exist as part of complex neural systems that evolved to enable us to survive, and this may be the key to understanding, even changing, our emotional makeup.

Looking at pictures: affective, facial, visceral, and behavioral reactions
TL;DR: Responsibility specificity, particularly facial expressiveness, supported the view that specific affects have unique patterns of reactivity, and consistency of the dimensional relationships between evaluative judgments and physiological response emphasizes that emotion is fundamentally organized by these motivational parameters.

Emotion elicitation using films
TL;DR: This article developed a set of films that reliably elicit eight emotional states (amusement, anger, contentment, disgust, fear, neutral, sadness, and surprise) from a large sample of 494 English-speaking subjects.

Uses and abuses of coefficient alpha.
TL;DR: The use of alpha as the basis for corrections for attenuation causes overestimates of true correlation as mentioned in this paper, which may cause significant misinterpretations of measures when alpha is used as evidence that a measure is unidimensional.

Emotion knowledge: further exploration of a prototype approach.
TL;DR: For instance, the authors suggests a framework for conceptualizing people's knowledge about emotions, in which categories of natural objects or events or events, including emotions, are formed as a result of repeated experiences and become organized around prototypes.
