HD, LG, VP, and MMA acted as expert raters for the provisional dictionary. MMA, PH, RB, and VP prepared the data for analysis. MMA conducted most analyses, with contributions from PH, RB, and VP. All six authors contributed to the preparation and revision of the final manuscript. MMA and VP prepared the supplementary information and managed the project’s OSF storage. VP and PH supervised the project.
**General guidelines**
The five corpora that served as source data are described in the **/Data/Raw** folder. As all corpora are either proprietary or publicly available, the detailed descriptions of the data are provided in lieu of the actual datasets.
The provisional dictionary is located in the **/Dictionaries** folder.
The code for preparatory data manipulations is available in the **/Analysis/DataPrep** folder.
The code for the analyses used in the development stage (EFA, VSS, PA) is available in the **/Analysis/Development** folder. The results of these analyses are located in **/Results/Development** folder.
The refined dictionary is located in the **/Dictionaries** folder.
The processed data containing word counts for PVD, LIWC, and MFD is stored in **/Data/Derived** folder. These files are stripped of the textual data for copyright and confidentiality reasons.
The code for the analyses used in the validation stage (internal consistencies, calculations of PVD scores, multidimensional scaling, correlations with external variables) can be found in the **/Analysis/Validation** folder. This code uses processed data from **/Data/Derived** as input.
All analyses were performed using LIWC (Pennebaker, Boyd, Jordan & Blackburn, 2015) and R software.
