“…The battery is based on stimuli from several sources: The face task comprised 5-s long video clips from Mindreading (www.jkp.com/mindreading) [100]. The voice and body tasks comprised 1- to 3-s long audio clips and 4- to 24-s long video clips from The EU-Emotion Stimulus Set [101, 102]. The integrative task used 3- to 19-s long sampled scenes from old television series, following Golan et al [82].…”

“…Audio clips used neutral utterances (e.g., “what’s all this?”), spoken in appropriate emotional prosody. They were recorded in the native language on the three sites [101, 102]. In the body language clips, faces were masked, in order to prevent reliance on facial cues.…”

“…Stimuli for the tasks were selected from an extended cross cultural ER survey, in which each stimulus was validated by 60 adults (20 from each site). In these surveys, participants had to recognize each stimulus by choosing the correct emotional label out of six options [101, 102]. Stimuli were considered valid if recognized correctly by at least 50% of the judges ( p < .00001, binomial test).…”

BackgroundChildren with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) have emotion recognition deficits when tested in different expression modalities (face, voice, body). However, these findings usually focus on basic emotions, using one or two expression modalities. In addition, cultural similarities and differences in emotion recognition patterns in children with ASC have not been explored before. The current study examined the similarities and differences in the recognition of basic and complex emotions by children with ASC and typically developing (TD) controls across three cultures: Israel, Britain, and Sweden.MethodsFifty-five children with high-functioning ASC, aged 5–9, were compared to 58 TD children. On each site, groups were matched on age, sex, and IQ. Children were tested using four tasks, examining recognition of basic and complex emotions from voice recordings, videos of facial and bodily expressions, and emotional video scenarios including all modalities in context.ResultsCompared to their TD peers, children with ASC showed emotion recognition deficits in both basic and complex emotions on all three modalities and their integration in context. Complex emotions were harder to recognize, compared to basic emotions for the entire sample. Cross-cultural agreement was found for all major findings, with minor deviations on the face and body tasks.ConclusionsOur findings highlight the multimodal nature of ER deficits in ASC, which exist for basic as well as complex emotions and are relatively stable cross-culturally. Cross-cultural research has the potential to reveal both autism-specific universal deficits and the role that specific cultures play in the way empathy operates in different countries.

“…To gather suitable voice messages for testing, we explored whether there are existing datasets that contain valence and arousal ratings. The most suitable dataset is the recently published EU-Emotion Voice Database [37]. This dataset contains audio-recordings of 54 actors where stimuli are labeled with emotion expression, emotion intensity, valence, and arousal.…”

Voice is a rich modality for conveying emotions, however emotional prosody production can be situationally or medically impaired. Since thermal displays have been shown to evoke emotions, we explore how thermal stimulation can augment perception of neutrally-spoken voice messages with affect. We designed ThermalWear, a wearable on-chest thermal display, then tested in a controlled study (N=12) the effects of fabric, thermal intensity, and direction of change. Thereafter, we synthesized 12 neutrally-spoken voice messages, validated (N=7) them, then tested (N=12) if thermal stimuli can augment their perception with affect. We found warm and cool stimuli (a) can be perceived on the chest, and quickly without fabric (4.7-5s) (b) do not incur discomfort (c) generally increase arousal of voice messages and (d) increase / decrease message valence, respectively. We discuss how thermal displays can augment voice perception, which can enhance voice assistants and support individuals with emotional prosody impairments.

“…This means that researchers may include or have stimuli assessed on at least one of the basic emotions, while also including/assessing further emotions (e.g. Lassalle et al, 2019;van der Schalk et al, 2011;Volkova et al, 2014;Zammuner, 2011;Zhalehpour et al, 2017). Investigating the frequency of inclusion for each of the six basic emotions revealed that happiness was included most frequently, followed by sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise (see Table 10).…”

Emotional stimuli such as images, words, music, speech, or video-clips are often used in studies researching emotion. Over the past decades, new sets have continuously been published and presented to the research community. The immense number of available sets can complicate the task when researchers are looking for suitable stimuli for their study.This paper presents the comprehensive work of the creation of a database currently including 364 stimuli sets published between 1963 and 2020. All included sets are freely available or available upon request. Over 45 aspects, including over 25 key set characteristics such as sort, number and resolution of included stimuli; rating scales; included emotions; age, gender and number of raters; or, age, gender and number of models, have been extracted and listed for each stimuli set. A searchable online version of the database allows users to select specific set characteristics and to find matching stimuli sets accordingly. The KAPODI searchable database facilitates finding of and comparison between individual sets, and therefore provides a useful resource for researchers aiming to access emotional stimuli sets.
