The Reading Everyday Emotion Database (REED)

We developed a set of audio-visual recordings of emotions called the Reading Everyday Emotion Database (REED). Twenty-two native British English adults (12 females + 10 males) from a diverse age range and with drama/acting experience were recorded producing utterances of various lengths in spoken and sung conditions in 13 various emotions (neutral, the 6 basic emotions, and 6 complex emotions) using everyday recording devices (e.g., laptops, mobile phones, etc.). All the recordings were validated by a separate, independent group of raters (n = 155 adults), and the database consists only of recordings that were recognised above chance. This dataset contains metadata about the files in the database (in the README file). In addition, it also contains: - data_validation.csv -- Data for the validation task - UoR-DataAccessAgreement-000336.pdf -- The REED Data Access Agreement - example_clips.zip -- Example clips of the REED - InfoSheet.pdf -- Information sheet (the copy used for participants involved in the REED study) - ConsentForm.pdf -- Consent form (the copy used for participants involved in the REED study) Not available in current dataset: - The REED (will be sent to user once they have signed the Data Access Agreement) To request access to the REED, please complete a data access request at https://redcap.link/data-request. If your application meets the criteria, a Data Access Agreement (see "UoR-DataAccessAgreement-000336.pdf" for a copy) will be sent to your nominated institutional signatory. Once the agreement is signed and returned, the Research Data Service team will arrange secure access to the dataset.
