Rated:
1 yes
0 no
- no answer, don't know
Computation:
- Average % positive affect = (A+H+I+J+K+L+M+N)/8
- Average % negative affect = (B+C+D+E+F+G)/6
- Affect Balance = Average % positive affect - Average % negative affect
Transformation to range 0-10:
(Score[range-100-100] + 100)/200*10
These questions do not measure hedonic level of affect of individual persons adequately, since yesterday's mood does not always correspond with typical average mood. Yet these questions can be used for measuring hedonic level in aggregates, such as nations, since individual variations balance out in big samples. - Classification:
- A-AB-yd-mq-v-2-b
- Remarks:
- Average % positive affect: 65%, Average % negative affect: 21%, Affect Balance Score:44%
