“…Subjective stress was measured using two adjective pairs, similar to those used in previous studies , Aslaksen & Lyby 2015, from the Norwegian translation of the Short Adjective Check List (SACL) (Mackay et al 1978 adjective pairs were tense-relaxed and nervous-calm. The adjective pairs were converted to numerical rating scales, where a score of zero indicated complete relaxation/calmness and a score of ten indicated maximum tension/nervousness.…”

“…Subjective stress was measured using the Stress subscale of the Japanese version of Stress and Arousal Check List (SACL; Kumashiro, 2002;Mackay, Cox, Burrows, & Lazzerini, 1978). The Stress subscale consists of 17 negative stress adjectives (e.g., "worried") and reversed positive adjectives (e.g., "pleasant").…”

In this study, we compared the differences in influence of three stress subjection timings on memory using words stimuli with three valences, positive, negative, and neutral. Sixty-three participants were divided into four conditions, pre-learning stress, on-learning stress, post-learning stress, and control condition. Participants in stress conditions were exposed to acute white noise stress. The results showed differences in the delayed recall memory performances among the three stress timing conditions, and definite valence influences. Compared to the non-stressed condition, impaired neutral delayed recall was observed in the post-learning stress condition. Pre-and on-learning stress showed lower positive memory compared to the other valences within their condition. Since memory performance was not significantly different from the control condition in either the pre-learning or on-learning stress timing conditions, learning after/or under stress did not seem to impair memory performance. Among the three stress timing conditions, post-learning stress seems to most affect human memory.

“…The question then continued, "Now, ring any of the [forty-two] words below that describe your feelings in that situation", after which followed the alphabeticised list of adjectives shown in Table 1. Although original, the questionnaire was inspired by previous adjective checklists in other situations [37][38][39], and in particular the study of Dubé and Le Bel [40] on the nature of pleasure.…”

ABSTRACTdescribe a situation they had found to be fun. Factor analysis identified five types of fun ("Sociability", "Contentment", "Achievement", "Sensual" and "Ecstatic"), the different types correlating systematically with participants' demography, personality and attitudes to fun. Although often used as if it were a single concept, "fun" is actually a complex phenomenon that has different meanings for different types of people.
