Here we introduce the Emotion Meanings dataset, a novel **dataset of 6,000 Polish word meanings**. The word meanings were derived from the [Polish wordnet (WordNet)][1], a large semantic network interlinking words by means of lexical and conceptual relations. The data was collected in two independent samples: ***unsupervised* (n = 21,317)** and ***supervised* (n = 561)**. All the word meanings were manually rated for **valence** and **arousal**, along with a variety of **basic emotions** (anger, disgust, fear, sadness, anticipation, happiness, surprise, and trust). The available resources consist of files with the raw and derivative data. - The **raw, unprocessed data** contains both participant and response information. This data might be useful to researchers interested in exploring it from a different angle, for example, to investigate data from demographically specific subgroups. - The participant data can be found in the `supervised-participants.csv` and `unsupervised-participants.csv` files, respectively. The corresponding data description can be found in `participants.md`. The full demographic questionnaire (the original Polish version, as well as the English translation) can be found in `demographic.md`. - The response data can be found in the `supervised-individual.csv` and `unsupervised-individual.csv` files, respectively. The corresponding data description can be found in `individual.md`. - The **derivative, processed data** contains responses in summary form (means and standard deviations). The derivative data were calculated based on responses contributed by all participants, as well as based on responses contributed by several demographically specific groups. This data may be useful to researchers looking for a ready-made solution, for instance to inform the stimuli selection procedure in a psychology experiment. - The derivative data can be found in the `supervised-summary.csv` and `unsupervised-summary.csv` files, respectively. The corresponding data description can be found in `summary.md`. - The corresponding data for several demographically specific groups can be found in `unsupervised-summary-female.csv`, `unsupervised-summary-male.csv`, `unsupervised-summary-young.csv`, and `unsupervised-summary-old.csv` files, respectively. The corresponding data description can be found in `summary.md`. Please note, that these files are based on the data from the *unsupervised* study exclusively. - Finally, we provide lexical information on the word meanings available with this dataset. This data can be found in the `supervised-lexical.csv` and `unsupervised-lexical.csv` files, respectively. The corresponding data description can be found in `lexical.md`. - Additionally, we provide information on how these word meanings map onto the [Princeton WordNet][2]. This information is based on the cross-lingual relation between Polish and English synsets (sets of word meanings). This data can be found in the `cross-lingual.tsv` file. The corresponding data description can be found in `cross-lingual.md`. The data presented here can be used for **research, non-commercial purposes only**. It cannot be redistributed without explicit consent from the corresponding author. This project is a work in progress and hence any suggestions for further development of this resource are welcome.
