[PAPER] Naturalistic Mixed Emotions & Judgements
Tom Hostler
Hi everyone,
Myself and Raul Berrios have just published a new paper on naturally-occurring mixed emotions and judgement making in Cognition and Emotion. We focused on positive and negative co-occurring mixed emotions, so the research may be relevant to those interested in ambivalence.
We collected data during the FIFA 2018 Soccer World Cup, asking participants how they felt before and after watching each of their team's matches, and asking them to predict the score of the match.
We found that when participants experienced greater mixed emotions, they provided more likely score predictions (operationalized as score outcomes with lower – more likely- bookmakers odds).
The paper can be found here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02699931.2020.1840965 or an OA version is available on Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345501332_The_impact_of_mixed_emotions_on_judgements_a_naturalistic_study_during_the_FIFA_world_cup
If you have any questions or would like me to send you a copy of the formatted version, please feel free to ask.
Looking ahead, I am very interested in running a larger, cross-cultural follow-up study to collect more data from multiple countries at the next World Cup in 2022 – if you would potentially be interested in collaborating please get in touch! My email is t.ho...@mmu.ac.uk
