Abstract
Researchers are recognizing the importance of studying emotions for understanding human–wildlife interactions. This article reviews generic methods and instruments for assessing emotions, as developed within the affective sciences. Four broad categories of emotion measures can be distinguished: (a) physiological measures, (b) brain activity measures, (c) behavioral measures, and (d) self-report measures. Physiological measures, brain activity measures, behavioral measures, and self-report are useful for assessing dimensions of emotional states (e.g., pleasure–displeasure). Self-report measures can also be used to measure discrete emotions (e.g., fear). This review addresses each set of measures, explains what kinds of information these measures can provide about emotions, and evaluates their advantages and disadvantages. Additional attention is paid to specific self-report measurement instruments. As each set of measures is prone to sources of variance beyond variance in emotions, employing multiple measures will foster understanding emotions toward wildlife.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
