Valence is a web app designed to alow researchers to build mind maps (or have subjects build mind maps) on a topic -- these mind maps are known as cognitive affective maps (CAMs). More information on CAMs and their many uses can be found on the main Valence website: https://valence.cascadeinstitute.org/.
The purpose of this repository is to allow any researcher to create their own server. If you simply wish to use Valence (instead of develop it or run your own server), please follow the instructions on our main Valence website or simply make an account on the official server: https://cognitiveaffectivemaps.herokuapp.com/users/loginpage?next=/
If you wish to contribute, please check out the current issues (or make a new one!), or simply email us at [email protected] to get involved. We have documentation set up at https://crhea93.github.io/Valence/.
Further information on this tool can be found at https://osf.io/9tza2/.
This code was funded by the University of Waterloo's Basille School and the LivMats Cluster at the University of Freiburg. The code was programmed solely by Carter Rhea and Christian Thibeault. The primary Valence website was constructed by Vibrant Content.
