What Makes You Feel? What Emotions Do You Encounter in Everyday Life?

No day passes without us feeling something. Places, objects, people, events, and activities – in short, our entire environment – can trigger emotions and influence our thoughts and actions in life.

The research team at Freie Universität Berlin wants to explore this further. The study investigates how people recognize their emotions and how this emotional knowledge is passed on.

Photo Project Procedure:

1. You will receive a camera from us for one week, during which you can take an unlimited number of emotion pictures.
2. By the end of the week, please select 10-20 pictures and write down on a note why you chose those specific images.
3. We will then conduct a follow-up discussion to talk about your selection.
4. Please return the camera on March 17, 2016, to…The memory card with your photos will be returned to you later.
