Don’t Tell Us How Strong It Feels! Converging and Discriminant Validity of an Indirect Measure of Emotional Evidence Accumulation Efficiency
The prevalent method for measuring emotional experiences is self-report scales. However, this method is prone to bias, affected by retrospective errors, and limited in studying individual differences due to variability in how individuals interpret scale values. In the present study, we tested the convergent validity of an alternative approach, which infers emotional components from computational modeling as applied to binary pleasant/unpleasant r…

Both pleasant and unpleasant emotional feelings follow Weber’s law but it depends how you ask
It remains unclear how we become aware of our emotions. The perceptual theory argues that emotions are a form of perception and reach awareness just like simple sensations. The theory was recently supported by Berkovich and Meiran (2023) showing, using evidence accumulation modeling of pleasantness reports, that pleasant emotional feelings follow one of the most basic psychophysical laws, Weber's Law, as nearly all sensations do. Contrary to pred…
Are women truly “more emotional” than men? Sex differences in an indirect model-based measure of emotional feelings
Pleasant emotional feelings follow one of the most basic psychophysical laws (weber’s law) as most sensations do
Emotion episodes may include a conscious aspect of the emotion, namely being aware of our own emotional experience. Despite explosion in research over previous years, it remains unclear how emotions reach awareness and become feelings. Already in 1884, William James argued that emotional feelings resemble ordinary sensations in this respect. Here, using a novel model-based ratio scale of emotion intensity, we provide one of the strongest pieces o…
