“…This approach may be a more precise test of the SRRM, which posits that it is higher levels of positive affect relative to low negative affect that maximizes the self-regulation resources necessary for health behaviors (Sirois, 2015a). As well, it should be noted that affect balance can be viewed as an index of subjective well-being (Koydemir et al, 2013); indeed, much of the variance in subjective well-being can be explained by affectivity (Davern, Cummins, & Stokes, 2007).…”

“…Affective balance was calculated by using a variation of the method by Koydemir et al (2013); the mean score for negative affect was subtracted from the mean for positive affect, and 5 was added to the total to eliminate negative values. Higher scores indicate a more positive affect balance.…”

“…However, no intercultural differences were found in the accuracy of emotion recognition (Soto & Levenson, 2009). In a number of studies, the processes mediating cross-cultural differences in EQ were identified: For the individualistic culture of Germany, the balance between negative and positive emotions, measured by the SREIT, served as a mediator between life satisfaction and EQ, while for an Indian sample (a collectivistic culture), social support did (Koydemir, Şimşek, Schütz, & Tipandjan, 2013). Greater accuracy of women in emotion recognition was noted for many cultures.…”

Background. Choice, under conditions of uncertainty, is mediated by integral dynamic regulatory systems that represent hierarchies of cognitive and personality processes. As such, individual decision-making patterns can be studied in the context of intellectual and personality potential. This article presents the results of a cross-cultural comparison of personality characteristics, such as coping with uncertainty, emotional intelligence, and academic achievement, between Azerbaijani and Russian university students.Objective. We aimed at establishing metric invariance and at highlighting relationships between emotional intelligence and the scales of the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire (MDMQ).Design. Azerbaijani and Russian student samples were selected for this study due to the almost identical educational programs offered by Moscow State University to students in Moscow and its branch in Baku. Coping with uncertainty was measured by the MDMQ, emotional intelligence by the EmIn questionnaire, and academic achievement by GPA scores. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify factor structure invariance and congruence.Results. The congruence of factor structures for both questionnaires was verified. For the MDMQ four-factor structure for both samples was confirmed. For the EmIn questionnaire, invariance for two scales was established -"Understanding other people's emotions" and "Managing own emotions". Relationships among personality traits, gender, age, and academic achievements are explained for the Lomonosov Moscow State University students in Moscow (Russia) and its branch in Baku (Azerbaijan). No crosscultural differences were found for emotional intelligence and productive coping (VigiEmotional intelligence, patterns for coping with decisional conflict… 115 lance). A cultural difference was established in unproductive coping preference for Buck Passing. A similarity between the cultures was captured in the relationship of higher emotional intelligence (EQ) scores to higher Vigilance scores and to lower levels of unproductive coping patterns. Vigilance was a predictor of academic achievement, but only in the Russian sample.Conclusion. The similarity of the educational systems, as both samples studied similar programs, demonstrates very few cross-cultural differences.

“…One of those candidate measures is life satisfaction, which is a conscious cognitive judgment of one's past whole life in which the criteria for judgment are up to the individual (Pavot & Diener, 1993). A number of studies revealed that affect balance was positively associated with life satisfaction (Koydemir, Şimşek, Schütz, & Tipandjan, 2013;Sanjuán, 2011;Zhu, 2015). However, no such previous research considered the activation dimension of affect.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between affect and short-term life satisfaction (LS) taking into account the dimensions of activation and balance of PA and NA. The study included 398 students (184 men and 214 women) who completed six questionnaires, three of which were used for another study. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule was utilized for assessing activated PA and NA. Two subscales (deactivated pleasure and boredom) of the Multiple Mood Scale were used for measuring deactivated PA and NA, and the Short-term Life Satisfaction Scale was used for gauging short-term LS. Correlation analyses and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between affect balance (PA-NA and PA/NA) and LS. The results of correlation and scattergram analyses showed that LS displayed positive linear associations with affect balance in both activated and deactivated dimensions. Additionally, hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed a significant interaction between activated PA and NA in women, and indicated that the positive relationship between activated PA and LS in women was strengthened when levels of activated NA were lower. We discuss the importance of considering subtypes within and relationships between PA and NA and overall implications for health/adjustment.
