Document Summary
Studies of emotion are only as good as their measures of emotion. In order to study emotion in the lab, we need to. Affective chronometry describes the time - course of an emotional response. Emotional responses can be broken down into the 3 rs . Emotion reactivity: the type, magnitude, & duration of initial emotional response to internal & external environment & have significance for personal goals. Emotion recovery: the magnitude & duration of the return from the peak emotional response to baseline. Emotion regulation: the processes by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, & how they experience & express these emotions. The 3 r"s can be used to describe all components of emotion. Often emotion questionnaires use multiple dimensional assessment. Traditionally performed as paper & pencil measures. Can even be performed on a cell - phone. Allows for questionnaire - like assessment in an ecologically relevant context.
