I am looking for stimulus materials to elicit internal state words (Bretherton & Beeghley, 1982). These words are categorized as perceptual (e.g., see, hear), volition and ability (e.g., want, need), cognition (e.g., think, know) and moral judgement and obligation (e.g., good, naughty). Most recent studies have focused on a subset of such words that includes categories of desire, cognition, affect, and moral judgement. These are referred to as mental state language (e.g., Bartsch & Wellman, 1995). I would very much appreciate input on elicitation techniques and stimulus materials. These may include scenarios, videos, stories, pictures, etc. </div>
<div>I look forward to your responses.</div>
