Separating Perceptual Dimensions from Affective Overtones: An Application to Consumer Aesthetics

Different types of perceptual distortion due to affective overtones are identified. A procedure, which deals with problems of distortion more comprehensively than competing methods, is proposed and illustrated in the case of consumer aesthetics. The resulting bias-free joint space is clearly interpretable and performs relatively well in predicting affect.
