Description
Summary:This study aimed to develop and test common scenes of real life to study emotions in women. The methodology adopted herein combined qualitative and quantitative methods and involved three distinct study stages: (i) use of a descriptive question to identify daily situations that evoked negative emotions among women; (ii) construction of everyday life scenes; (iii) assessment of how effectively the constructed videos manipulated emotions. The visual analog scale (VAS), a descriptive question, and a focus group were used to discuss the negative emotion and neutral emotional condition evoked during the experiment. The videos developed, Routine Life Scenes and Dramas of Life Scenes fulfilled the objective of the study. The qualitative approach helped to understand how the videos mobilized the emotions. The participants recognized themselves in similar experiences, in contexts of life, and by the worry and fearfulness of the possibility of living the same experiences.
