Q

Two-step daily reconstructions

Pros and cons

A

Pros: can be a good compromise ; remains dependent on the follow-up questions

Con: takes a lot of time ; people tend to report fewer events if you make them do this often

Q

Types of emotional language

A

Written or transcribed language

Frequency or proportion of words used in different categories (fear words, negative emotion words , etc)

17
Q

Most common tools for emotion elicitation

A

Standardized bs personalized stimuli

  • Directed facial action
  • static photos
  • Film/audio clips
  • emotional memories
  • interpersonal interaction
  • performance /judgment
  • bodily stress
18
Q

Standard stimuli

A

The same stimuli for all people

Presented for a fixed period of time

19
Q

Personalized stimuli

A

Different stimuli for each subject

Presented for different amounts of time

20
Q

Standard stimuli advantage and disadvantage

A

Pro: well controlled experimentation; known time course

Con: difficult to elicit strong emotion

21
Q

Personalized stimuli pro and con

A

Pro: easier to elicit strong emotion; presented for different amounts of time ; interpreted differently by different people

Con: poorly controlled experimentation ; unknown time course

22
Q

Directed facial action

Pro and cons

A

Pros: reasonable ecological validity ; fairly standardized

Cons: people often know what you are looking for ; has demand characteristics; the elicited emotions often are very intense

23
Q

Static images pros and cons

A

Pro: easy and common; standardized sets ; low cognition demand ; low language demand

Cons: not super intense ; limited range of emotions ; human facial expressions can be exaggerated

24
Q

Film / audio clips pros and cons

A

Pros: reasonable ecological validity ; easy; can be intense

Cons: high cognitive demands ; there’s no accounting for taste ; cannot elicit all emotions

25
Q

Memories pros and cons

A

Pros: personally relevant and engaging; good ecological validity

Cons: not standardized without a shared memory ; high memory demand

26
Q

Interpersonal interaction pros and cons

A

Pros: good ecological validity; naturalistic social contexts

Cons: somewhat idiographic ; emotion responses influenced by both members of the dyad

27
Q

Performance/ judgement pros and cons

A

Pros: ecologically valid; effective at inducing some emotions , engaging

Cons: not very good at eliciting all emotions ; difficult to find a matched control task; participant discomfort

28
Q

Bodily stress pros and cons

A

Pros: ecological validity; possible to get intense responses

Cons: participant discomfort; often only a few trials ; method is confounded with emotion type
