What is it about?
This paper did a factor analysis on self-reported emotional reactions to a set of film clips. The results indicated that participants responses produced a reliable structure, differentiations among the emotions of amused/warmhearted, fearful/anxious and disgusted/scornful. This pattern of response held up over time.
