How Gorilla supports affective researchers

Affective researchers often need controlled presentation of emotional stimuli, reliable measurement of behavioural responses, and the ability to link experimental tasks with individual-difference measures such as anxiety, bias, or emotion regulation.

With Gorilla, researchers can quickly and easily build reliable mood induction procedures, decision making tasks like the Iowa Gambling Task and Affective go/no-go paradigms alongside validated affect questionnaires like the PANAS and STAI, all without coding.

Gorilla provides the experimental control, flexibility, and scalability needed to study emotion and affect reliably online.
