#DATABASE CONTENT

This database contains this readme file, an excel file with a codebook and paricipant answers, and data of the precise forces measured by the motorized ribbon during the experiment (.txt).

# DATA

The data in this database is the data collected from participants during research into the effect pressure touch parameters on the emotional and sensory qualities of the stimulus. The associated paper (Weda, J., Kolesnyk, D., Mader, A., & van Erp, J. (2022, May). Experiencing touch by technology. In International Conference on Human Haptic Sensing and Touch Enabled Computer Applications (pp. 110-118). Cham: Springer International Publishing.) can be found here: ' https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-06249-0_13'. The data was collected and logged with Qualtrics and Psychopy 3.
 
##.txt

The files are named: PARTICIPANTNUMBER-MONTH-DAY-TIME.txt

The text files contain all the trials, conditions and related participant answers. The columns are separeated by commas. The first line of the file contains the following: Participant: #PARTICIPANTNUMBER , Arm: 0 = left, 1 = right (NA for these experiments), Circumreference: #ARMCIRCUMFERENCEINCM, ContractionSpeed: #STEPDELAYINMILLIS and length: #RIBBONLENGTHASINTHESETUP (NA for this experiment), Prior: #PRIORDATAUSED, Upper or Lower Arm
 

#CODEBOOK

The codebook is included and describes the coding of the stimuli levels (3x2).
