Felt and communicated emotions: Sadness and jealousy
No full textPotential discrepancies between felt and communicated emotions elicited by two typical antecedents of Jealousy and of Sadness that varied in terms of their seriousness were studied by means of a structured questionnaire. Italian men and women (respectively, N = 248 and N = 293) attributed felt and communicated emotions to a story protagonist X, choosing from a list of 16 emotions; the communication occurred either with X's partner or X's friend. The results obtained from various analyses of variance of Subjects' attributions confirmed the hypothesis that there are significant discrepancies between felt and communicated emotions for both antecedent types, and that they are greater for jealousy than for sadness. Effects on the direction and magnitude of discrepancies due to sex of subjects, and type of interlocutor were found mainly for sadness emotions. Antecedent seriousness instead influenced felt and communicated emotions for both jealousy and sadness. The results are interpreted as showing that verbal communication of emotion is influenced by norms and beliefs about social and personal implications of a given emotio

A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
