A dance of emotions: Scientific videolibrary of dance movements published SciReports
We created an emotional dance movement stimuli-set for emotion psychology and related disciplines. It contains 30 dance sequences performed five times each, with five different intended emotional expressivities at each repetition , i.e., a total of 150 stimuli. Emotion recognition for all five emotion categories as intended by the dancer were recognized above chance level . Fear had significantly lower emotion recognition rates than the rest of the emotion categories, but was still above chance.
Importantly, as a manipulation check, the neutral state stimuli , were rated as less intense than all other emotions, confirming that these neutral state stimuli wereemotionally expressive in intensity, as had been intended by the dancer. Thus, this category can be used as a control condition. We found no difference between anger and joy in terms of intensity, as has been reported before.
Interindividual difference measures of personality and aesthetic responsiveness did not significantly predict emotion recognition accuracy, except for conscientiousness that predicted higher emotion recognition accuracy. Our engagement measure ‘interest in task’ predicted intensity ratings and beauty judgments, while beauty judgments were also negatively predicted by the personality trait negative emotionality.
