“…For the emotional dimensions, the mean correlation values were r = .89 for arousal (ranging from r = .73 to .99) and r = .94 for valence (ranging from r = .77 to .99). This finding agrees with previous reports that showed greater variability for arousal than for valence scores (Eilola & Havelka, 2010;Monnier & Syssau, 2014;Moors et al, 2013;Redondo et al, 2007). High correlations were also observed for the discrete emotions, with mean values of r = .97 for happiness (ranging from r = .88 to .99), r = .97 for anger (ranging from r = .95 to .99), r = .97 for sadness (ranging from r = .92 to .99), r = .96 for fear (ranging from r = .90 to .99), and r = .96 for disgust (ranging from r = .90 to .98).…”

“…In line with the findings of prior studies that have provided emotional ratings for words in different languages, the boomerangshaped distribution observed in Fig. 1 indicates that highly pleasant and unpleasant words were rated as being the most arousing stimuli, whereas items with low positive and negative ratings were perceived as being the least arousing (Bradley & Lang, 1999;Eilola & Havelka, 2010;Ferré et al, 2012;Kanske & Kotz, 2010;Monnier & Syssau, 2014;Montefinese et al, 2014;Redondo et al, 2007;Soares et al, 2012;Võ et al, 2009).…”

“…As in previous studies, we carried out regressions analyses with Emotional Valence as the independent factor and Arousal as the dependent factor (e.g., Ferré et al, 2012;Monnier & Syssau, 2014). The linear and quadratic models were tested separately.…”

Affective norms of 875 Spanish words for five discrete emotional categories and two emotional dimensions

In the present study, we introduce affective norms for a new set of Spanish words, the Madrid Affective Database for Spanish (MADS), that were scored on two emotional dimensions (valence and arousal) and on five discrete emotional categories (happiness, anger, sadness, fear, and disgust), as well as on concreteness, by 660 Spanish native speakers. Measures of several objective psycholinguistic variables-grammatical class, word frequency, number of letters, and number of syllables-for the words are also included. We observed high split-half reliabilities for every emotional variable and a strong quadratic relationship between valence and arousal. Additional analyses revealed several associations between the affective dimensions and discrete emotions, as well as with some psycholinguistic variables. This new corpus complements and extends prior databases in Spanish and allows for designing new experiments investigating the influence of affective content in language processing under both dimensional and discrete theoretical conceptions of emotion. These norms can be downloaded as supplemental materials for this article from www.dropbox.com/s/o6dpw3irk6utfhy/ Hinojosa%20et%20al_Supplementary%20materials.xlsx?dl=0.

“…In contrast, context availability and familiarity were the variables with least agreement between the raters (ICCs of .85 for both variables) and across questionnaires (6.50 % and 5.98 % variation, respectively). Regarding the two affective variables, valence had a higher interrater reliability than arousal, which is a common pattern in affective databases: There is greater consensus in valence than in arousal ratings (e.g., Eilola & Havelka, 2010;Monnier & Syssau, 2014;Redondo et al, 2007;Soares et al, 2012).…”

Spanish norms for affective and lexico-semantic variables for 1,400 words

2015

Studies of semantic variables (e.g., concreteness) and affective variables (i.e., valence and arousal) have traditionally tended to run in different directions. However, in recent years there has been growing interest in studying the relationship, as well as the potential overlaps, between the two. This article describes a database that provides subjective ratings for 1,400 Spanish words for valence, arousal, concreteness, imageability, context availability, and familiarity. Data were collected online through a process involving 826 university students. The results showed a high interrater reliability for all of the variables examined, as well as high correlations between our affective and semantic values and norms currently available in other Spanish databases. Regarding the affective variables, the typical quadratic correlation between valence and arousal ratings was obtained. Likewise, significant correlations were found between the lexico-semantic variables. Importantly, we obtained moderate negative correlations between emotionality and both concreteness and imageability. This is in line with the claim that abstract words have more affective associations than concrete ones (Kousta, Vigliocco, Vinson, Andrews, & Del Campo, 2011). The present Spanish database is suitable for experimental research into the effects of both affective properties and lexico-semantic variables on word processing and memory.

“…Norms of affective properties of words have been published in multiple languages such as European Portuguese (Soares, Comesaña, Pinheiro, Simões, & Frade, 2012), Brazilian Portuguese (Kristensen, de Azevedo Gomes, Justo, & Vieira, 2011), French (Monnier & Syssau, 2013;Bonin, et al, 2003;Gilet, Grühn, Studer, and Labouvie-Vief, 2012, among others), German (Kanske & Kotz, 2010;Lahl, Göritz, Pietrowsky, & Rosenberg, 2009;Võ et al, 2009;Võ, Jacobs, & Conrad, 2006), Polish (Imbir, 2015), Finnish (Söderholm, Häyry, Laine, & Karrasch, 2013;Eilola & Havelka, 2010), Italian (Montefinese, Ambrosini, Fairfield, & Mammarella, 2014) and Dutch (Moors et al, 2013). In Spanish, the largest set of emotional norms so far was published in Redondo, Fraga, Padrón, & Comesaña (2007), which includes valence, arousal, and dominance norms for the Spanish translation equivalents of the original 1034 items from ANEW using a method very similar to that in Bradley & Lang (1999).…”

Norms of valence and arousal for 14,031 Spanish words

Most current models of research on emotion recognize valence (how pleasant a stimulus is) and arousal (the level of activation or intensity that a stimulus elicits) as important components in the classification of affective experiences (Barrett, 1998; Kuppens, Tuerlinckx, Russell, & Barrett, 2012). Here we present a set of norms for valence and arousal for a very large set of Spanish words, including items from a variety of frequencies, semantic categories, and parts of speech, including a subset of conjugated verbs. In this regard, we found that there were significant but very small differences between the ratings for conjugations of the same verb, validating the practice of applying the ratings for infinitives to all derived forms of the verb. Our norms show a high degree of reliability and are strongly correlated with those of Redondo, Fraga, Padron, and Comesana's (2007) Spanish version of the influential Affective Norms for English Words (Bradley & Lang, 1999), as well as those from Warriner, Kuperman, and Brysbaert (2013), the largest available set of emotional norms for English words. Additionally, we included measures of word prevalence-that is, the percentage of participants that knew a particular word-for each variable (Keuleers, Stevens, Mandera, & Brysbaert, 2015). Our large set of norms in Spanish not only will facilitate the creation of stimuli and the analysis of texts in that language, but also will be useful for cross-language comparisons and research on emotional aspects of bilingualism. The norms can be downloaded and available as a supplementary materials to this article
