I would like to find a reference demonstrating empirically how long after an elicitation event (e.g., frightening someone), does the elicited emotion last within the individual. I am referring here mostly to facial expression generation studies.
Dear Mircea,
Based on my knowledge, there is no paper to indicate it in general. However, there are various case studies with different follow up times which can give us some ideas. My suggestion is to tackle this problem by studying each type of emotion separately. For example for shame, there is such a study:
"Compassion-Based Therapy for Trauma-Related Shame and Posttraumatic Stress" written by Shannon Sauer et al.
I follow your interesting question because hopefully someday scientists can answer it.
Good luck.
Dear Mani,
Thank you for your reply. It seems I am not the only one having a hard time finding a paper that measures post-elicitation duration. I wonder if searching the neuroimaging literature would prove more fruitful.
All I care about is at least one paper that mentions how long after an elicitation event does the cognitive-affective induction cease (as in, the participant returns to a neutral state).
