Updating the Chieti Affective Action Videos database with older adults

Validation of the Chieti Affective Action Videos (CAAV) database was replicated with a sample of older adults (age range 65-93). When designing experimental studies of emotions, it is crucial to take into consideration the differences in emotional processing between young and older adults. Therefore, the main goal of the present study was to provide an appropriate dataset for the use of CAAV in aging research. For this reason, the CAAV administration and the data collection methodology was faithfully replicated in a sample of 302 older adults. All the 360 standardized stimuli were evaluated on the emotional dimensions of valence and arousal. The CAAV validation in an older adults’ population increases the potential use of this innovative tool. The present validation supports the use of the CAAV database in future experimental studies on cognitive functions in healthy and pathological aging.<br>All the video stimuli are available on the following link: <b>https://springernature.figshare.com/articles/dataset/CAAV_database/11215067?backTo=/collections/Chieti_Affective_Action_Video_-_CAAV_Technical_Manual_and_Affective_Rating/4691840</b>基耶蒂情感动作视频（Chieti Affective Action Videos, CAAV）数据库的验证实验，已通过年龄区间为65至93岁的老年人群样本完成复现。在设计情绪相关实验研究时，充分考量青年与老年群体在情绪加工层面的差异，是至关重要的。因此，本研究的核心目标，即为面向衰老研究领域中CAAV的应用，提供适配的数据集支撑。基于此，本研究完整复现了CAAV的施测流程与数据采集方法，受试样本共包含302名老年人。全部360项标准化刺激材料，均在情绪效价（valence）与唤醒度（arousal）两个维度上完成了评估。针对老年人群体开展的CAAV验证工作，拓展了该创新性工具的应用潜力。本次验证结果支持CAAV数据库在未来针对健康衰老与病理性衰老人群认知功能的实验研究中的应用。 所有视频刺激材料均可通过以下链接获取：<b>https://springernature.figshare.com/articles/dataset/CAAV_database/11215067?backTo=/collections/Chieti_Affective_Action_Video_-_CAAV_Technical_Manual_and_Affective_Rating/4691840</b>
