| Abstract |
This repository contains extracted data features and all questionnaires from our study "Estimating the valence, arousal and balance of dyadic conversations using regression algorithms with autonomic nervous system responses". Data_FinalFeatureSet.xlsx contains data for the 42 dyads who completed the study protocol. Rows represent individual participants, with the two participants in the same dyad always on consecutive rows. Columns consist of: Participant gender and age. Group that dyads were assigned to. PosInit/NeutInit/NegInit represent positive, neutral or negative initial prompts. Devil1st/NoEmot1st represent which of the two secret prompts was presented first ("devil's advocate" or "no emotion"). A column stating which of the two participants was given the secret prompts (participant on left or right). A column stating whether the participants had already known each other before the session (Y/N). Extracted physiological features for 12 intervals: the first baseline (interval 1), 10 conversation intervals (intervals 2-11), and the second baseline (interval 12). Individual features are present for all individual participants while synchrony features exist for dyads (not individuals) and are thus present for only one row of a dyad. Raw data from three personality questionnaires: the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNES), the Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy (QCAE) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD). Self-reported results of the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) for the 10 conversation intervals, with the three columns in each interval corresponding to valence, arousal and balance. Note that one dyad's physiological data were corrupted and that dyad was not used for further analysis. Their demographics and questionnaire data are included, but no physiological features were calculated. Questionnaire files include the BFNES, QCAE and CESD as well as three versions of our modified SAM: one with no secret prompts, one with secret prompts for participants who saw the "devil's advocate" prompt first, and one with secret prompts for participants who saw the "no emotion" prompt first. |
