Abstract complessivo di un simposio

The investigation of affect has become pivotal across various fields of psychological research, yet measuring affective experience poses some pitfalls. First, affective states, by their fleeting and idiosyncratic nature, are often challenging to define and capture. Second, the intricate interplay between psychophysiological changes and subjective experience has many implications for the...

227. Capturing emotions in vocal expressions: The impact of different theoretical approaches on acoustic profiles.

Talk in simposio

Over the past two decades, the field of emotion research has experienced significant growth and diversification, resulting in a proliferation of conflicting notions and results. This contribution explores various methodologies and tools for capturing emotions in vocal communication, guided by four prominent theoretical perspectives on emotion: basic emotions theory, dimensional approach,...

252. Exploring the Influence of Questionnaire Length on Respondent Burden through Biosensor Data: A Multimodal Analysis Using Artificial Neural Networks

Talk in simposio

Psychological research frequently relies on Likert-type questionnaires to collect data on psychological traits. While cost-effective and straightforward, the cognitive effort required to complete these questionnaires and the related stress response, known as "response burden," can affect data quality. Response burden includes factors like questionnaire length, complexity, emotional intensity,...

284. Mental imagery amplifies the intensity and complexity of emotions and the richness of bodily sensations during simulation of experience

Talk in simposio

As compared to verbal thinking, mental imagery acts as an amplifier since it is based on mechanisms of simulation, but it is not clear whether it may also augment emotion complexity through richer descriptions of emotion experience. Thus, our study aimed to analyze differences in self-reported emotional experience, by comparing affect intensity and indexes of emotion complexity in response to...

217. Addressing Discrepancies in the Assessment of Emotional Granularity: Development of a Novel Method Using Open-Ended Descriptions.

Talk in simposio

Emotional granularity (EG), the ability to differentiate between specific emotions with a high level of complexity and precision, is commonly assessed behaviorally through experience sampling methods (ESM). Participants rate the intensity of their momentary emotions over several days, and their ratings are then used to compute an EG index via within-person intraclass correlations (ICCs)....
