Twenty faces (10 male) from a standardized series of facial emotional expressions (Karolinska-Directed-Emotional-Faces-Set [KDEF]) (23) were selected displaying happy, sad, angry, and neutral expressions.
On the basis of these, we selected 10 happy videos (5 male) and 10 sad videos (5 male) that were all correctly recognized above 75%.
For example, in relation to intensity questions, a person could be given a scale of completely happy to completely unhappy to select how happy s/he is.
We were careful to select the happy, neutral and sad faces of 13 infants and 13 adults such that the stimuli were matched for emotional valence and arousal (infants: 0.2 (1.9), mean (standard deviation) and adults: −0.1(2.1), not significant) across the two groups.
