Jesus Wept: Corpus Findings In 2015, curators began identifying emotions in the LDS standard works and coding the verses to determine who was experiencing the emotions. Concurrently, curators administered frontend evaluations to 250 BYU students to see what information they wanted from an exhibition on this topic. Overwhelmingly students wanted help experiencing and coping with their emotions, so Jesus Wept: Emotions in the Scriptures focused primarily on this. After it opened in 2017, evaluations found that visitors yearned for more corpus data, hence this current alcove exhibition highlighting more findings. The emotions in the scriptures corpus includes 127 emotion words (e.g., joy) and all forms of each word (e.g. joyful, joyous) found in the standard works. Instances that did not convey emotions of humans, deity, or the adversary were removed. Each remaining instance was coded by two independent raters to determine if the word reflected an emotion felt by a mortal (i.e., humans), deity (i.e., a member of the godhead or angels), or adversary (i.e., Satan or Lucifer). Agreement between raters was over 90 percent. Some instances were dual-coded, meaning they were felt by two groups (e.g., humans and deity). To better understand how one word, love, and its conjugations were expressed in scripture verses, two independent raters coded toward whom or what that emotion was directed. Since many instances described love felt as being directed toward multiple sources, these instances were coded in more than one category.
