Articles and Book Reviews |
New Scientist: Search for articles on emotion at From Christopher Green's Classics in the History of Psychology, here is the full text of William James' (1894) What is an Emotion? originally published in Mind. http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/James/emotion.htm Can Smiling Make You Happy?

In particular, we should discuss Pinker's comments, e.g. on innate vs. learned emotions. Edge 9 has some further questions for LeDoux from Paolo Pignatelli; scroll to the bottom of the page: http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge9.html Students in Neurobiology and Behavior, a bio course at Bryn Mawr, post their papers electronically at http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro02/

Below are a few examples of images and charts you can find on the web for use in your class presentations, or just for inspiration. To find your own, do a Google image search. For Psychophysiology: There are some cool gifs on this page from Oberlin, including an animated EKG gif, and a "subject" hooked up for various recordings. http://www.oberlin.edu/~psych/labs/physiolab/default.html The Contact Precision Instruments site contains gifs illustrating a wide variety of psychophysiological measures, indluduing skin conductance EKG, EMG, EEG, and a startle-recording set-up. http://www.psylab.com/default_default.htm Limbic & pleasure areas of brain. Interactive figure from Gleitman site: http://www.wwnorton.com/college/psych/gman5/ch2/diagrams/2_13.html A table adapted from Ortony and Turner (1990), showing various emotion

Online Experiments |
Megalists of online experiments: http://www.socialpsychology.org/expts.htm http://www.psych.unizh.ch/genpsy/Ulf/Lab/WebLabLinksE.html For online experiments: a research randomizer http://www.randomizer.org/ Paul Kenyon's tutorial on "How to put questionnaires on the internet." http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/mscprm/forms.htm A student project on the Psychology of Aesthetics. Apparently presents mpeg animations which participants rate. The animations don't work in Navigator, however, so I haven't viewed them. (Some of the introductory instructions are useful.) http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/research/horne/dissintro1.htm also see http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/research/horne/template.htm for a potentially useful template for a rating study. http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/research/horne/ques1i.htm shows a tabular questionnaire, presented in a frame at the bottom of the page. The target image remains on the top while the ratings are completed. The frame structure is set up by the file http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/research/horne/frame1i.htm A bettter layout might be the one in http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/research/horne/SECONDRY.HTM where the picture is on the left and the rating scale scrolls down on the right. From the Univ of Zurich comes the Web's Experimental Psychology Lab at http://www.psych.unizh.ch/genpsy/Ulf/Lab/WebExpPsyLab.html This is an award-winning site. Here's another experiment we might like to be able to produce. Can we figure out how they did it?
For Columbia Students: You can try out the 1999 version of the Emotion Seminar Online Experiment if you're connecting from the Columbia Server. CAUTION: The program may take some time to load. If you interrupt the process and restart, it may not load the slides or submit the data properly. Click here to start. The Emotion Seminar Online Experiment (see above link) is brought to you by CNMTL programmer Ilia Malkovitch and Student Technology Assistant Rana Yates. Ilia and Rana collaborated on this user-modifiable program that allows students to create a variety of affective slide-viewing and -rating paradigms. Rana has written a tutorial http://www.columbia.edu/~lep1/rry/Tutorial.html to guide students in their revisions. |
