Appendix E. Emotion recognition in affect bursts
Source: Schröder (2000).
‘Affect bursts’ are very short utterances expressed spontaneously at sudden events.
The table below shows means and standard deviations (in parentheses) for correct
categorical ratings of ten emotions, on the three seven-point scales
– arousal (from 1Zcalm to 7Zexcited)
– valence (from K3Znegative to 3Zpositive)
– control (from 1Zsubordinate to 7Zdominant).
Only reliable results (recognition rate R80%) are being reported here.
There were no reliable results for anger.
For further information see Schröder (2000).
