What and Where are the Primary Affects? Some Evidence for a Theory
Abstract
A set of 69 facial photographs of models simulating affective neutrality and the eight primary affects of interest, enjoyment, surprise, distress, fear, shame, contempt, and anger were presented to a group of 24 firemen whose task it was to identify the affect in the photograph. The hypotheses, tested and confirmed were that (a) all Ss would identify primary affects in the photographs with above chance accuracy, (b) groups of Ss would confuse some affects with others in a systematic fashion, and (c) some Ss would show individual biases in their judgments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
