Emotional movie database (EMDB): from concept to impact and future directions

Abstract

The emotional movie database (EMBD) is a database that elicits emotions using 40s clips with no audio as stimuli. Since its creation in 2012 the EMDB has been cited 55 times, in 37 articles, 10 doctoral thesis, 5 conference papers, 1 review, 1 master thesis and 1 book chapter. An objective of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of the EMDB in the scientific community. Moreover, it will also be presented the data from the stage 1 assessment of the new categories that are going to be included in the EMDB, namely social pain, social inclusion, extreme sports and pollution. The results of the pre-validation of the experiment 2 suggests that the clips for the new categories are distributed, as expected, along the affective space.
