For each motif in this table we show how many people moved this motif (number of cases), its “%correct*intensity_felt” score, and the motor elements that were included in it which scored more than 0, i.e., that appeared in the motif at least once. Each motor element in the table is accompanied with its score for that motif. The motor elements that were found as significant predictors for that emotion are presented on a yellow background. The “%correct*intensity_felt” score represents the multiplication of the percent of subjects that “correctly” identified (felt) the emotion expressed in the motif by the average emotional intensity as was rated by those subjects who “correctly” felt the emotion. The result of this multiplication was used as a measure for the strength of the association between each motif and its specific associated emotion. The table displays the four motifs for each emotion that got the highest result for this “%correct*intensity_felt” measure. A threshold of 2.4 was calculated for this measure to define which motifs brought about the experience of the target emotion (for more details see the last paragraph of the Result section). As can be seen, the “%correct*intensity_felt” measure for all the motifs presented in this table were equal to or bigger than the 2.4 threshold, i.e., moving these motifs brought about the feelings of their associated emotion. Implications for the data presented in this descriptive table are reviewed in the Discussion section.
