This study develops three composite psychometric scales for the use in listening experiments across music psychology. The new measure following psychological constructs: (1) Inner representation of temporal regularity: scale allows listeners to assess what extent they experience a subjective feeling regularity and predictability while music. consists four items, it measures underlying construct...

The assessment of sexual arousal and sexual interest patterns have become significant elements in the detection and treatment of sexual disorders. This study investigated whether there was a relationship between sexual interest (utilizing viewing time) and sexual arousal (utilizing plethysmography) in a clinical sample of sexual offenders with diagnosed pedophilic interests. Thirty nine partic...

The International Affective Picture System (IAPS) is widely used in studies of emotion and has been characterized primarily along the dimensions of valence, arousal, and dominance. Even though research has shown that the IAPS is useful in the study of discrete emotions, the categorical structure of the IAPS has not been characterized thoroughly. The purpose of the present project was to collect...

Despite recent interest in continuous prediction of dimensional emotions, the dynamical aspect of emotions has received less attention in automated systems. This paper investigates how emotion change can be effectively incorporated to improve continuous prediction of arousal and valence from speech. Significant correlations were found between emotion ratings and their dynamics during investigat...
