4 Alternative conceptualizations of the Smiling Intensity Scale (SIS) and their applications to the identification of humor

Hilal Ergül
Abstract
In this paper we discuss two development of the smiling intensity scale (SIS), a scale developed to assess the intensity of smiling (with laughter as the upper end of the scale). SIS has several advantages, vis-à-vis using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), including being simpler and faster to implement and notably cheaper, while being equally detailed. Two new versions of SIS, which are considerably simpler to implement than the original SIS (SIS-1) are presented. SIS-1 was implemented training in FACS judges who then ranked the smiles using the holistic SIS choices. SIS-2 presents a visual scale of smiling persons which is used for ranking. SIS-3 is based on a set of yes/no questions, such as “is this person’s mouth open?” Thus, both SIS-2 and SIS-3 require minimal training. Both SIS- 2 and SIS-3 were tested and found to be very reliable. Use of a training video before rating using SIS-3 did not improve performance, thus showing that training judges for SIS-3 is unnecessary. SIS-2 and SIS-3 are freely available.
