Datasets

The available data set consists of a total of 548 female participants in two studies (n = 500 and n = 48 for Studies 1 and 2, respectively).

Study 1 examined the relationship between MAIA scores and the self-reported intensity of positive emotions in response to daily odors, as measured by a scale we developed (OPEMIS). Study 2 tested whether individuals with higher MAIA scores would experience arousal consistent with their autonomic physiological responses, as measured by HRV and PPG metrics.
