I have used videos and pictures recommended for this purpose, but they did not work.
Thank you
I'm not expert in this field of Neuropsychology but common sense would be tailor made tests (people might have specific emotional triggers) using specific videos/photos/scenarios..hope this would help..thanks..
Very often in the particular subject students may not have liking or the interest or so to say one kind of prejudice or phobia on a particular subject for which the negative traits such as Emotion,Anger,,Fear .
The same remain a disturbing factor the subject & this demands a calm & quite mind which one has to cultivate thru the power of prayer,meditation ,silent sitting with few minutes breathing .This may help the person concern to control his negative traits.
In this line some times back i have my publication under the captioned '' Happiness which i submit herewith for your perusal & for our valued readers.
This is my personal opinion but in the light with your contribution in your professional area it is likely that you may agree with certain contents of the publication .
This is only my personal opinion
Hello Carmen,
You have four classic ways to trigger emotions:
- recall of an affectively salient event
- script-driven guided imagery
- viewing images (+ music) or video
- posing affective facial actions, body postures, and vocal expressions
Zhang et al. (2014) provide a comparison of theses methods but according my experience video elicitation is the best from far.
There is also a 5th method which is performing small emotional task as wizard of oz games (Tcherkassof et al., 2013) or to put the hand in a jar full of spaghetti (Sneddon et al., 2012).
good luck!

Carmen, a last thing. If you're going for the picture/video elicitation method, some validated stimuli are available with IAPS for pictures (Lang et al., 1999) and for videos (Gross & Levenson, 1995). You have also new validated databases but I'll let you find them.
Good luck again,

Heya Carmen,
In this article - mentionned below - there are a few databases' names that you could use, such as emotionally charged auditory stimuli, emotionally charged verbal stimuli, static emotional faces or static visual affective stimuli.
Cheers,
Jamaa

My advice would be to read Lisa feldman Barrett's work in this space.
You can use acoustic startle (reflex) stimulus to induce acute fear response.
