Abstract

This report presents data which shows how the AffectButton, a visual tool to report affect, can be used reliably by both adults and children (6-7 y.). Users were asked to identify affective labels, such as scared or surprised, on the AffectButton. We report a high inter-rater reliability between adults, between children and between adults and children. Children have the same high performance when using the AffectButton as adults, making the AffectButton a intuitive and reliable tool for letting a wide range of ages report affect.
