thank you very much, Stephen, your tip is very helpful. I think the Velten Mood Induction Procedure fits my purpose. Do you know how can I get the list of the phrases?

And also, are the sentences free to use by anyone for research? Or do I have to ask for some permission?

See Plutchik & Conte (1997) Circumplex Models of Personality & Emotions (APA Books); and following attached from Izard (2009) should provide leads.

Stephen Moores, What is the source of these items? Is this part of a standardized questionnaire, having an answer scoring key? If you copied these items, is the source copyrighted, and if so, do you hold the copyright? Or did you actually invent these yourself to answer this question?

These are important kinds of questions for those wishing to use your questions in published research.

I have created a set of cards which I call an 'Emotional Palette' (c).  I use them to help people find the language for their emotional states.  They include the emotions that are generally considered to be universal across cultures and then a whole raft of additional words that invite them to uncover their felt sense and the nuances and complexities that pervade our lives. They are aesthetically appealing and I use them with clients in my Systemic Coaching and coach Supervision practice to reveal and illuminate and unbraid their complex overlapping internal patterns; and to help them access underlying core and limiting beliefs, assumptions etc.  I have found that each person has their own unique phrasing of these so looking for 'universal ones' might be a stretch too far...
