Description: An aesthetic experience is not merely a cognitive process but also involves feelings. Therefore, the empirical study of this type of experience requires conceptualization and measurement of aesthetic emotions. The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of the nature of aesthetic emotions and to develop assessment tools that allow for their encompassing yet parsimonious measurement. Thus far, we have conducted two projects to accomplish this. The study "Conceptual Space of Aesthetic Emotions" employed the pile-sort methodolgy to map the conceptual domain of aesthetic emotions. The ongoing project "Development of the Aesthetic Emotions Scale (AESTHEMOS)" is devoted to creating a new assessment tool for aesthetic emotions that is applicable across different aesthetic domains.
