gew.js

A JavaScript implementation of The Geneva Emotion Wheel (GEW).

Usage

To use gew.js implementation, just include both gew.js and gew.css into your webpage.

The wheel will be generated using the following html markup:

<div id="yourgewid" class="gew" data-input='yourinputid' data-required style="yourstyledefinition"></div>

Where:

• yourgewid is a defined id for this element;
• yourinputid is the id of the element that will be sended in the POST/GET (when using this gew in a form);
• yourstyledefinition is the basic style for your gew, such as width, height and font-size;
• data-required is an optional argument and will make the input generated (internally) by the gew.js be required (when using this gew in a form).

About

The Geneva Emotion Wheel (GEW) is a theoretically derived and empirically tested instrument to measure emotional reactions to objects, events, and situations.

Format

The respondent is asked to indicate the emotion he/she experienced by choosing intensities for a single emotion or a blend of several emotions out of 20 distinct emotion families. The emotion families are arranged in a wheel shape with the axes being defined by two major dimensions of emotional experience.

Five degrees of intensity are being proposed, represented by circles of different sizes. In addition, "None" (no emotion felt) and "Other" (different emotion felt) options are provided.
