The following data sets are used in Interact and may
be downloaded from the program for research, conditional on accepting the terms of
use.
 | U.S.A.: Indiana, 2003. Ratings of 500 Identities, 500 Behaviors, 300 Modifiers, and 200 Settings
were collected at Indiana University, via the Internet using the Surveyor
applet. The 1027 respondents lived in the U.S.A. at age 16, and were about equally male and female. Details on stimuli
and instrumentation. Details on sample of
respondents. |
| U.S.A.: Texas, 1998. Ratings of 443 Identities, 278 Behaviors, 65 Modifiers, and 1 Setting were collected at Texas Tech University with the Attitude program. The
482 respondents were nearly equally male and female. |
| U.S.A.: North Carolina, 1978. Ratings of 721 Identities, 600 Behaviors, 440 Modifiers, and 345 Settings were obtained with paper questionnaires from 1,225 North Carolina undergraduates. (Ratings for some emotion words in this data set were obtained by Heise from Indiana University undergraduates in 1985.) Number of male or female raters generally is about 25 for each word.
Funded by National Institute of Mental Health Grant
1-R01-MH29978-01-SSR. |
| Canada: Ontario, 1980-6. Data on
843 Identities and 593 Behaviors were obtained
from 5,534 Guelph, Ontario, undergraduates with paper questionnaires in
1980-3, and 495 Modifiers rated by 1,260 Guelph undergraduates were
added in 1985-6.
Funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada. |
| Canada: Ontario, 2001-3. Data on 993 Identities, 601 Behaviors, and
500 Modifiers, and 200 Settings were gathered with the Attitude program from Guelph, Ontario, undergraduates in 2001-2. Data on
settings were gathered with the Surveyor program at Guelph in 2003.
Funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada. |
| Japan, 1989-2002. Ratings of
403 Identities and 307 Behaviors, and a few Settings were obtained with the
Attitude program from 323 Tohoku University students in 1989. In 1995 and
1996, 120 women students at Kyoritsu Women's, Japan Women's, and Teikyo
Universities and 120 men students at Teikyo and Rikkyo Universities rated an
additional 300 settings, 300 modifiers (mainly traits), 200 business
identities, and 75 behaviors. Yoichi Murase (Rikkyo University)
and Nozomu Matsubara (Tokyo University) provided access to students who
rated 102 emotions, 70 behaviors and 55 identities in 2002
using Surveyor. Total numbers of entries in Interact lexicon are: 713
Identities, 455 Behaviors, 426 Modifiers, and 300 Settings. Number of male or female raters generally is about 30 for

| Mainland China,

Identities, 300 Behaviors, 98 Emotions, 150 Traits, and 149 Settings were obtained with Attitude from about

Project Magellan
Magellan is the ongoing research project in Affect
Control Theory in which dictionaries of affective meaning are being collected
around the world. Surveyor is a Java applet that measures affective
meaning in indigenous languages, and that archives respondents' ratings via the
Internet.
