7.2.1.1 Procedure

Participants volunteered to take part in the study either through direct contact by one of the authors or in response to adverts placed on internet forums. Each volunteer was sent a link to the experimental platform and was allowed to take part in the experiment at a time and location of their choosing, with the request that they do the experiment in seclusion. The first page presented the British and Polish flags and the participants clicked on these according to their nationality. Then the instructions page appeared in the appropriate language. Initially, there was a brief introduction outlining that the study was concerned with finding out about how people think some emotions “go together” and other emotions belong in different categories. More detailed instructions regarding the specific sorting task were as follows:

You will be presented with 135 emotions on the computer screen. We’d like you to sort these emotions into categories representing your best judgement about which emotions are similar to each other and which are different from each other. There is no one correct way to sort the emotions - make as few or as many categories as you wish and put as few or as many emotions in each group as you see fit. This study requires careful thought and you therefore need to carefully think about which category each emotion belongs rather than just quickly putting emotions in categories without much thought.
