Hi Florina, showing a short video that induces each emotion comes to mind as was done in one of the attached articles by Silvers and Haidt. This method is also used in the other article by Algoe and Haidt, as well as three other methods - recall,

event-contingent diary, and letter-writing. Good luck! Rachel.

hi Florina,

Do you knows  the IAPS and/or de IADS images inductions emotions by Peter Lang research group? Is a excelent way to induce emotions

Thank you both very much!

Florina

Hi Florina,

There are many methods for quickly eliciting emotions, some which are more powerful than others. See Westermann et al., (1996) and Lench, Flores, & Bench (2011; discrete emotions.pdf)  for some relevant meta-analyses on the topic. None of these meta-analyses look at image inductions such as IAPS, but you are not probably not going to get a very large emotional response from pictures.

If you intend on using film stimuli, many people use an old set validated by Gross and Levenson in 1985 (https://spl.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/film.pdf). However, there are also several newer film databases such as Schaefer et al., (2010)
