The members selected for the study, 3% of the culture, had never seen a movie, neither spoke nor understood English or Pidgin, had not lived in any Western settlements or government towns, and had never worked for a Caucasian. In comparison to these isolated members, members of this culture who had the most contact with Westerners also had data collected from them. These subjects, only twenty-three males and no females, had seen movies, spoke English, lived in Western settlements or government towns, and attended school for over a year. .
To resolve the problems of the least Westernized subjects being unable to read and having difficulty remembering, a procedure similar to one previously used by J.F. Dashiell was employed. The procedure consisted on showing two to three pictures with different emotions on each, followed with a story that was relevant to only one of the emotions shown, and having the subject point to the picture of the emotion best related to emotion described in the story. The advantages of this procedure are that translators are accurate and well-rehearsed, there is no reading, the subject does not need to speak, and the perfect translation of the emotion words is not necessary because the story already implies the emotion within itself. The translators were told not to prompt, and repeated practice was used to insure they would not. .
For the creation of the stories themselves, substantial attention was used to guarantee that each story was only related to one emotion. The stories used for each of the emotions were:.
Happiness: His (her) friends have come, and he (she) is happy.
Sadness: His (her) child (mother) has died, and he (she) feels very sad.
Anger: He (she) is angry; or he (she) is angry, about to fight.
Surprise: He (she) is just now looking at something new and unexpected.
Disgust: He (she) is looking at something he (she) dislikes; or He (she) is looking at something which smells bad.
