This course is based on my new edited volume Emotion Measurement (from Woodhead Publishing). This book features the latest work from many of the world’s leading experts in emotion and in applying emotions to a broad range of services and products from exercise and health to product development, and cross cultural studies. This course is applicable to those interested in sensory and consumer research, product development, marketing, and related tasks.

Please examine the following course outline:

  1. Defining emotions.
  2. Producing lists of emotions, and comparison to existing lists.
  3. Physiological, behavioral, questionnaire, and social media methods for measuring emotions.
  4. Measuring emotions with fragrances
  5. Measuring emotions with foods and beverages.
  6. Cross cultural issues in measuring emotions – how to test in multiple cultures.
  7. The challenge of language and translation in cross cultural emotion research.
  8. Adding value to consumer research by measuring emotions.
  9. The contribution of emotions to health and wellness research.

Hands-on exercises and practical examples will be parts of this course.
