The Strohminger Mirth and Elevation Database contains normed audio clips for inducing two positive emotions, mirth and moral elevation, along with neutral control clips.  It represents the emotion induction stimuli originally appearing in:

Strohminger N., Lewis R.L., Meyer D.E. (2011). Divergent effects of different positive emotions on moral judgment. Cognition, 119, 295-300.

This database also contains the moral dilemmas used in that paper.  We ask that those who use these materials cite the original paper in subsequent papers or presentations of that work.
