TL;DR
This paper introduces two new databases to help researchers study how people recognize others' internal physical states like breathlessness or fatigue.
Contribution
The paper presents two validated stimulus sets for studying the perception of interoceptive states through vocalizations and point light displays.
Findings
Some interoceptive states were consistently recognized better than others.
Variability was observed both within and between stimulus categories.
Stimuli are freely available with quality scores for researchers to select appropriate materials.
Abstract
The ability to perceive others’ emotions and one’s own interoceptive states has been the subject of extensive research. Very little work, however, has investigated the ability to recognise others’ interoceptive states, such as whether an individual is feeling breathless, nauseated, or fatigued. This is likely owing to the dearth of stimuli available for use in research studies, despite the clear relevance of this ability to social interaction and effective caregiving. This paper describes the development and validation of two stimulus sets for use in research into the perception of others’ interoceptive states. The Interoceptive States Vocalisations (ISV) database and the Interoceptive States Point Light Displays (ISPLD) database include 191 vocalisation and 159 point light display stimuli. Both stimulus sets underwent two phases of validation, and all stimuli were scored in terms of…
