Society for Affective Science#AffectScience2024 attendees, please check your emails for an invitation to fill out the conference evaluation. Your feedback will allow us to improve future SAS conferences! The survey will close on Friday, March 15th.
Thanks for joining us at #AffectScience2024! Enjoy these moments and look out for more highlights coming soon!
Jonas 𝓜. NöllePilleriin Sikka: We normally think people are knocked out under anaesthesia, but ppl do have experiences, namely dreams (86% in experimental settings).
These dreams include strong emotional affective experiences, disconnected from the immediate environment, this is an interesting disconnect between the components of emotion.

Datamining DMT, LSD and other substance experience reports, allows analysing affective states.
When it comes to affective intensity signalled by linguistic markers, psychedelic experiences elicit more awe experiences.

Chen-Wei Yu et al: Classically, bag of word approach was used for emotion labelling, but today we can use NLP embedding approaches.
Sentences are likely to be further apart than individual words.
How can semantic similarity be used to predict more positive emotional experience in positive and conflict conversations.
Different theories predict different directions or the effect.

Pablo Arias Sarah:
Usually studies in social interaction have to balance ecological validity Vs experimental control.
To do both at the same time he created DuckSoup, where participants voices and faces are being manipulated in real-time with paramtric control of the signals.

Alina Herderich at #affectscience2024:
What set of emotion regulation strategies do ppl actually use in their daily lives?
They present a new method called the construct mining pipeline.
133 ppl generated 6k suggestions. Text data was then transformed into vecs using sentence embeddings.
One can then assess items bias and make sure the semantic space is more generalisable:
Suggestions do tend to cluster around their vignettes.

Henna Vartiainen at #affectscience2024 :
In the context of therapy language is extremely important. Changing how we talk about emotions can I fluence how we feel them.
One strategy is linguistic distancing, which can reduce negative affect etc

Cool talk by Yutao Chen, presented by Joshua Jackson.
Why are some emotion word more frequent than others?
Some work suggests it could relate to morphology, like certain affixe preferences.
Positive emotion word are more frequent than negative, but diachronically the gap is closing.

At the #affectscience2024 diversity symposium, Anthony Ong says: it's about time!
The fact that emotions change is fundamental about affect science. Affective scientists should engage more in discourse about race and culture.
He motivates this claim considering multiple timescales, bit directional but ifluence, and person-context relationships.
