Fear and disgust induction: effective methods?
Question
  • Mar 2016
Hello, I would need a task to induce fear and disgust in a comparable way. Both tasks should elicit emotions for a few minutes (I need to measure psychophysiological parameters). It is very important that no fear be present in the disgust condition (e.g. blood or insects may elicit a mixed reaction).
Any suggestion?

Reliable scale for Disgust Sensitivity, specifically targeting smoking-related cues?
Question
  • Sep 2015
I am looking for a disgust scale specifically targeting smoking-related cues. However, there does not appear to be one. Instead, my research partner and I have been modifying the Disgust Scale-Revised (Haidt, McCauley, & Rozin, 1994; Modified by Olatunji et al.) to include smoking-related cues. Are there other options, or scales that I somehow missed?
Thank you for your time.

How to explain a reverse pattern between activation and correlation in fMRI research
Question
  • Mar 2024
Hi experts,
In my fMRI experiment, two conditions were compared: a high disgust condition and a low disgust condition. The high disgust condition involved presenting participants with disgusting images, while the low disgust condition presented the same images but with the disgusting elements digitally removed. During fMRI scanning, participants passively viewed stimuli from both conditions. After scanning, participants rated the level of disgust for each set of stimuli on a scale of 0 to 10.
Three results were observed:
  1. The disgust ratings for the high disgust condition were significantly higher than those for the low disgust condition, with ratings close to 10 for the high disgust condition and close to 0 for the low disgust condition.
  2. Beta values in a specific brain region were significantly higher for the low disgust condition than for the high disgust condition, consistent with existing references indicating a response to this type of digital image processing.
  3. When examining the relationship between the difference in activation (beta values: high disgust condition - low disgust condition) and the difference in ratings (high disgust condition rating - low disgust condition rating) across all participants, a significant positive correlation was found. Most activation differences were negative, while rating differences were positive.
On one hand, from the perspective of activation, this brain region appears to respond more strongly to the low disgust condition. On the other hand, from a correlation standpoint, it exhibits the opposite effect.
How can these results be interpreted?
Thank you!

How to combine/represent emotion analysis scores as one value?
Question
  • Dec 2016
I have analysed a number of online articles and have their emotion analysis scores along with their sentiment (pos/neg/neutral) and the sentiment value. The fields are: Anger, Disgust, Fear, Sadness and Joy. What I would like to know if it is possible to somehow combine the values of the fields to represent them as one value. I also have comments related to those articles and have their sentiment and emotion scores as well in similar fields.
This would permit me to find a threshold so that I can use it to grade the article and the comments according to that single value. For example, an article might be: Anger=0.100637, Disgust=0.327951, Fear=0.243857, Joy=0.043951 and Sadness=0.364933.
Clearly in this example, the sadness value is the highest followed by disgust, but would it be right to ignore the lower score fields and classify that article as "sadness" related when "disgust" is that close? Would the "sadness" value be representative of that article? And what if another has 0.148988, 0.14043, 0.070271, 0.609123 and 0.103031? Equal parts "anger" and "disgust" but with 60% "Joy"? 
My first thought was to have some sort of mean but that would not be accurate at all as the difference in the different scores will certainly be lost.
Can someone please help me a little with this problem? Can all five values somehow be represented as one? Thank you.
