title: Perception and Experience of Appraisals and Consumption Emotions in Reviews (PEACE-Reviews) Pilot Dataset

description: This pilot dataset contains review text responses and associated emotional ratings about the usage of particular products by participants (USA) recruited from a crowdsourcing platform called Prolific. This pilot study is part of a larger project of constructing a dataset that has people's review text of particular products labelled with emotional variables such as cognitive appraisals, and emotional intensity. The aim of this pilot is to pilot different methods that elicit participants to write their emotional experiences when using a product. <strong>Variables</strong> Column A- condition that the participant was assigned to. [1- presence of emotion prompts, review format; 2- presence of emotion prompts, question format; 3- absence of emotion prompts, review format; absence of emotion prompts, question format] Column B- product reviewed Column C- cost of product reviewed Column D- emotion felt while using the product (this only applies to condition 1 and 3) Columns E - K are the text responses from participants. Column E- review text responses of the product (this only applies to condition 1 and 3) Column F- how important is the product in text (this only applies to condition 2 and 4) Column G- how did the participants feel when using the product in text (this only applies to condition 2 and 4) Column H- Why did the participants feel the way they are feeling when using the product in text (this only applies to condition 2) Column I- whether the product is consistent with what the participants' wanted in text (this only applies to condition 2 and 4) Column J- whether using the product was pleasant in text (this only applies to condition 2 and 4) Column K- whether the participants' understood what was happening when they were using the product in text (this only applies to condition 2 and 4) Columns L - AE are the rating of the cognitive appraisals on a Likert scale of 1-7. (7 means that the participants endorse more on that appraisal). These ratings correspond to how the participants' perceive the situation of using the product that they have talked about. Missing data correspond to the participants' rating as 'not applicable'. Column L- self-control- To what extent did you think you had control over the situation? Column M- pleasantness- To what extent did you think that the situation was pleasant? Column N- goal congruence- To what extent was the situation consistent with what you wanted?

Column T- other-agency- To what extent did you think that someone else other than you was responsible for what was happening in the situation? Column U- difficulty- To what extent did you think that the situation was difficult? Column V- self-agency- To what extent did you think that you were responsible for what was happening in the situation? Column W- attentional activity- To what extent did you think that you needed to attend to the situation further? Column X- circumstances-control- To what extent did you think that circumstances beyond anyone's control were controlling what was happening in the situation? Column Y- positive future expectancy- To what extent did you think that the situation would get better? Column Z- other-control- To what extent did you think that other people were controlling what was happening in the situation?

Column AE- familiarity- To what extent did you think that the situation was familiar? Columns AF - AH are some variables pertaining the participants' experience of using the product on a Likert scale of 1-7. Column AF-How much effort did you put into researching about the product/service before purchasing it? Column AG- To what extent would you recommend the product/service that you have recalled to someone else? Column AH- To what extent would you purchase again the product/service that you have recalled? Columns AI - AP are the emotional intensity rated for each emotion on a Likert scale of 1-7 (7 means that the participant strongly felt that emotion when using the product) Columns AQ - AW are demographic variables (note that participants are recruited from USA) Column AQ- gender Column AR- age group Column AS- race Column AT- whether the participant is of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin Column AU- native language Column AV- highest education level Column AW- total household income before tax during the past 12 months
