Front. Psychol. 7:1081. doi: ten.3389/fpsyg.2016.In research that combine understanding of emotions and language, there is increasing demand for good-quality experimental components. To meet this expectation, a large number of 4905 Polish words was assessed by 400 participants in an effort to deliver a well-established study strategy for everybody keen on order KF-89617 emotional word processing. The Affective Norms for Polish Words Reloaded (ANPW_R) is made as an extension to the previously introduced the ANPW dataset and gives assessments for eight diverse affective and journal.pone.0075009 psycholinguistic measures of Valence, 2152-7806.162550 Arousal, Dominance, Origin, Significance, Concreteness, Imageability, and subjective Age of Acquisition. The ANPW_R is now the biggest out there dataset of affective words for Polish, like affective scores that have not been measured in any other dataset (concreteness and age of acquisition scales). Moreover, the ANPW_R allows for testing hypotheses concerning dual-mind models of emotion and activation (origin and subjective significance scales). Participants inside the present study assessed all 4905 words within the list within 1 week, at their own pace in house sessions, utilizing eight various Self-assessment Manikin (SAM) scales. Each measured dimension was evaluated by 25 girls and 25 men. The ANPW_R norms appeared to become trusted in split-half estimation and congruent with preceding normative studies in Polish. The quadratic relation in between valence and arousal was discovered to be in line with earlier findings. Also, j.1369-6513.1999.00027.x nine other relations appeared to become far better described by quadratic instead of linear function. The ANPW_R provides well-established analysis materials for use in psycholinguistic and affective studies in Polish-speaking samples.Keywords and phrases: affective norms, duality of emotion, duality of activation, polish language, psycholinguistic indexesINTRODUCTION Affective Norms for Verbal Analysis StimuliThe affective nature of stimuli is an essential issue when the consequences of feelings are the point of interest (Osgood et al., 1957; Russell, 2003). This applies to language and emotion relations. Thus, with all the use of Lang (1980) Self-assessment Manikin (SAM) scale, the Affective Norms for over 1000 English Words (ANEW: Bradley and Lang, 1999) dataset was introducedFrontiers in Psychology | http://www.frontiersin.orgJuly 2016 | Volume 7 | ArticleImbirAffective Norms for Polish Wordsand stimulated the improvement of analogical datasets in many languages and cultures (for any review, see Table 1 in Riegel et al., 2015). The list of affective norms datasets continues to be growing because of the importance of such stimuli for all researchers enthusiastic about the interplay among language and emotion. Such datasets let researchers to manipulate certain dimensions (e.g., valence) and to handle for the possible effects of other dimensions (e.g., arousal, d.
