The basic unit of the database is a clip, which is an audiovisual recording of an emotional episode, drawn from two main sources. People were recorded discussing emotive subjects either with each other, or with one of the research team. The database also includes recorded extracts from television programs where members of the public interact in a way that appears essentially spontaneous.
