Analysis code for: Emotion occurrence, rather than intensity, varies across a cultural niche-construction gradient: A confirmatory re-analysis
Year: 2026
Type: software
Abstract: Code reproducing every statistic, table and figure of a confirmatory re-analysis of emotional responses to 50 written place descriptions spanning five stages of cultural niche construction. The analysis separates three quantities that an unconstrained-selection emotion instrument defines (whether an emotion is reported, how intense it is when reported, and the two combined) and reports four levels of inference for each: Kruskal-Wallis over all observations, Friedman on participant x stage means, a crossed random-effects model for participants and places, and a stimulus-label permutation test. Sensitivity analyses cover multiple testing (Benjamini-Hochberg), the model used for the binary outcome (crossed logistic GLMM in lme4), and selection into the conditional-intensity measure (Lee trimming bounds with a pigeonhole bootstrap). The dataset analysed here is deposited separately: Place x Emotion-JP 2025, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20501910 (CC-BY 4.0).
