Overview<\/h3>\n

Emotional engagement <\/span><\/i>deals with the \u201cnature and intensity of the affect exhibited by visitors during the engagement and immediately after\u201d (Tisdal 2004). The nature of the emotional engagement may be <\/span>positive<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>negative<\/span><\/i>, or <\/span>neutral<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Codes<\/h3>\n

POSITIVE AFFECT
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

General: <\/b>Positive emotional engagement is defined as a positive expression towards the experience. This includes positive reactions to the experience (e.g. \u201cThat\u2019s cool\u201d; \u201cWow!\u201d; \u201cI like that\u201d), positive reactions to others, within the context of experience (e.g. \u201cGreat idea!\u201d; \u201cYou\u2019re so smart!\u201d), positive body language\/noises (e.g. dancing, clapping, high fives), and positive laughing (e.g. amused laughter or laughter indicating enjoyment\/joy).<\/p>\n

Keywords:<\/b> happy, joyful, supportive, positive<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    NEGATIVE AFFECT
    \n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    General: <\/b>Negative emotional engagement is defined as negative expression towards the experience. This includes negative reactions to the experience (e.g. Wow that\u2019s lame.\u201d; \u201cThat sounds bad\u201d), negative reactions to others, within the context of the experience (e.g. yelling something; \u201cYours is weird\u201d; \u201cShe broke it!\u201d), and negative body language\/noises (e.g. stomping; hand swatting; crying; wailing). This does not include conducting action (i.e. telling others what to do\u2014e.g. \u201cStop that\u201d), as conducting is more directional than emotional.<\/p>\n

    Keywords:<\/b> negative, unhappy, sad, angry, disappointed, disgruntled, mean<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      NEUTRAL AFFECT
      \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

      General: <\/b>Neutral emotional engagement is the nondominant code and is defined as the absence of a positive\/negative emotional response. In practice, we found that the neutrality of certain vocalizations was a bit ambiguous, so we provide some clarifying points below.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \n

      There may be energy in a neutral statement even if there is not emotion (e.g. \u201cLook at that!\u201d said with energy is not necessarily positive or negative). We also classify the following expressions as neutral: emotional responses that do not relate to the exhibit, interjectional \u201cums\u201d and \u201cahs,\u201d conducting or telling others what to do, expressing curiosity, making observations, apologizing, and laughter that is not clearly expressing a positive emotion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Keywords: <\/b>neutral, not positive or negative<\/p>\n
