Adaptation of the normative rating procedure for the International Affective Picture System to a remote format.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM), a pictorial scale for the measurement of pleasure and arousal dimensions of emotions, is one of the most applied tools in the emotion research field.

Objective

We present a detailed description of a remote method to collect affective ratings in response to pictures by using the SAM scale.

Methods

To empirically validate our remote method, we conducted a study using a digitized version of the SAM scale and delivered online didactic instructions that followed the normative rating procedure for the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) to the participants. We presented 70 pictures from the IAPS and an additional set of 22 food pictures to the participants.

Results

We found strong correlations between the rating
