Database Overview
Clip Information
The database currently includes 22 video clips, each drawn from a different English-language film and ranging from 130 to 425 seconds in duration (Mdn=238, MAD=96.4). The figure below shows the distribution of the clips’ durations. The table below presents each clip’s abbreviation, source film title (and release year), as well as starting and stopping timestamp in HH:MM:SS format, and duration in seconds.

Holistic Ratings
After watching each clip, participants provided holistic ratings on how the entire clip made them feel. These holistic ratings were completed using five Positive Affect items (i.e., alert, determined, enthusiastic, excited, inspired) and five Negative Affect items (i.e., afraid, distressed, nervous, scared, upset), each rated on an ordinal scale from 0 to 4. The plot below shows the distributions of the mean scale scores (across all clips and raters).

The table below shows the estimated inter-rater reliability (i.e., unbalanced average-measures consistency intraclass correlation) for the holistic ratings of each clip (first item-level and then scale-level). These were derived from Bayesian generalizability studies using the varde package. The lower and upper columns represent the boundaries of the 95% equal-tail credible interval.

Dynamic Ratings
Each clip was watched by participants who used the CARMA software to provide continuous (i.e., second-by-second) ratings of how it made them feel. These continuous ratings were made on a single emotional valence scale ranging from -4 (very negative) to 4 (very positive). The number of participants rating each clip ranged from 94 to 104 (Mdn=100, MAD=3). The table below provides the number of raters and duration per clip as well as a summary of the valence ratings distribution across raters (i.e., mean, standard deviation, and quartiles).
