Table 1.

Frequency of participants’ labelling the emotion felt while watching the film as the target emotion (i.e. the one intended by the experimenters) and discrete intensity ratings of each emotion while watching each film. For nearly all cells, the target emotion intensity was rated significantly higher (P < 0.01) than the other emotions (indicated bya). Disgust intensity was rated higher than happiness in fearful stimuli for the normal comparison group (indicated byb)
